Comments (1)Can you post a photo of the kichen? If the cabinets are in fact teak, it would be a shame to paint them. Teak is a very resilient wood, they make boats out of them! It can take more than its share of wear and tear, water, humidity, kids-just about anything. Most teak is a warm, mid range tone. Anything will go with it. If you keep the teak, putting a nice light granite top will go a long ways towards modernizing your kitchen. Replacing the floors and knobs will help, too, but without a photo or two, I am talking off the top of my head....See MoreSuggestions for Z5 old fashioned farmhouse shrubs pls :-)
Comments (19)Good for thinking outside the box. Think twice about rose of sharon. Leafs out very late and is an ugly bundle of sticks till then. Unless it is one of "sterile' new cultivars they seed like crazy and you will be plucking seedlings all the next summer. But some, I don't remember if its the Satin or chiffon series are sterile. But again, they don't do or look like anything except for the three or four weeks they bloom. Lilacs....nothing....three weeks of bloom then nothiing. Do a mixed selection. Maybe you'll accept the 'suggestion' or reference to old fashioned without actually planting old style plants that have just one season of interest. (not that some new styles don't do any thing for 3/4 of the growning season) I live in a house built in 1811. I don't have a volunteer crew like an "showcase" historic house. owned by a historical society. Old fashioned isn't necessarily more beautiful, more fragrant, less bug susceptible....See MoreGrow List 2018
Comments (7)So i planted most of my peas today direct seeded. Just planted, did not water. If weather is good i will finish planting them tomorrow. Looks like i might be able to squeeze in a few more depending. I still need to plant the Nap Gene (potential open keel trait)* one. And i might be able to plant both Templeton's Delta Dusk and Heather maybe. I might also try to squeeze in those orc gene peas (orange cotyledons) that may have higher beta carotene. And that's basically it. Room for two more for sure, room for 4-5 more max. I planted these ones today shortest to tallest: Super Dwarf: Mighty Midget Orange-pod Short-ish: "Joseph's" Red Snap (last year my earliest variety other than super dwarfs) (perhaps it is time to rename this as it's not really Joseph's. only descended from his original work and highly selected by me for good red color. But i'm lazy so that is still my current unofficial name). [blank spot] Medium: Large Podded Wrinkled Seeds (selected from unknowns) Purple Passion hybrid* "Joseph's" Yellow-Podded (most wrinkled seeds)(perhaps it is time to rename this as it's not really Joseph's. only descended from his original work. But I'm lazy so that is still my current unofficial name). Jupiter [Blank Spot] TALL: Joni's Taxi Purples (most wrinkled seeds) True Mummys Biskopens Hybrids Heavily-Branched...See Morezeedman Zone 5 Wisconsin
