It's always a treat to visit there. It's dry season here in South Florida so there were lots of blooms on display. I brought home this beauty. She's about 3 ft tall and already potted up in her new home.

Visit to Lowes today
Comments (73)I was actually kind of surprised how many varieties outside of knockouts our Lowe's carried, but it's more of the same....knockouts everywhere. 20 years from now, the only rose that will exist on Earth will be KO roses at this rate. It's definitely a worrysome long term outlook. I noticed this the other day with my Mother. She just wanted to get KOs for her storefront. I asked her to try other varieties and explained what would work and even showed her some pictures, but she went to a local bargain store and picked up a "Lady Diana" hybrid tea anyways.....not sure if that was any better or worse than a knockout...pretty bloom for sure, but in terms of rebloom, diease, and overall health, I'm not quite sure. At any rate, I'm hoping she changes her outlook once she sees the 20 or so Austins I planted in her yard last year...almost all of which overwintered perfectly fine. Most people don't even know what an Austin, Antique, or hell.....EVEN a HT rose is. They just know roses and the most common mainstream rose is the KO, so that's all they know. Need to be creative and expand horizons....See MorePictures of a Nursery I visited today in New Port beach:
Comments (24)it's like any other display - -clothing with all the 'right' pieces & accessories that you may not want/to be able/interested to buy... -furniture, again with all the right accessories... -you buy just one or very few-and it doesn't look the same! But it's great for ideas/inspiration, and definitely helps the sales. And you just may be able to replicate over time......See MoreI Went to visit my KD today. I tried to do the Marcolo Move...
Comments (28)Commenting on the skills and tools to make frameless cabinets: Our local community college has the best furniture making/wood working program in the west, maybe more than that. They actually call it Cabinet and Furniture Technology. One of the things they offer is a certificate program in making cabinets. Framed and frameless cabinetry making are totally different classes with separate and unique building techniques. Each has some specialized tools for that type of cabinetry only. The head of the department has aggressively pursued state of the art for 20 or more years and is a kitchen cabinet maker himself. He got the European makers of the big machinery needed for frameless cabinetry to donate the pieces to the school so that there would be trained frameless cabinet makers out there, a win-win. I never took that class, but I saw the machinery being used - we're talking stuff that takes up a lot of floor space, significantly bigger than large stationary table saws. You know all those holes they put in for adjustable shelves? There's a machine that makes whole sets of those holes so they'll be perfectly spaced. You need to train on the machine to make it come out right. The guy beekeeperswife talked to has never trained in this technology and doesn't own these very expensive tools. I can see that he maybe wouldn't want to be totally up front about that. The rest of the world has gone to frameless because their native wood supplies are not what they once were. By using "furniture board" with the good stuff laminated onto the outside, less premium wood is needed. As consumers, we care more about look and function in our space, but it's good to see the bigger picture sometimes....See MoreVisited Country Curtains Today!
Comments (38)Countrylovergirl, if you show this link again that has no curtains in it that I can see from checking out your link, we will report you as a spammer and you will be kicked off this site. Links that have something to do with what a poster is askign for help in or OK but links to get us to look to possibly buy something that has nothing to do with what the post is about is NOT OK. I can't wait to see pics of the beautiful curtains that I really love and can't wait to see in person also. I think they will go great in your bedroom and help finish the windows and soften the bright white on your windows. I still like bright white blinds with a softer neutral as a curtain like you are doing....See More
