Calling all Tomatoe Gurus - I have room for 3-4 variaties
Comments (19)Cherry would be Black Cherry (hands down!) Early would be Kimberly (nothing personal) Green Zebra would be a priority, not only because of its beautiful colouring, but because of its productivity and its great, unique taste. Then a red or pink beefsteak/slicer - Neves Azorean Red, Red Brandywine, Large Pink Bulgarian - there's tons to choose from - you just have to research their qualities ( DTM, yield, flavour etc.) & pick what you think works for you. If you're planting 6 or 7 plants in that space - I would say one Black Cherry and one Green Zebra is never enough! Plus you could try more than one large pink/red....See MoreCalling all GREIGE paint lovers! Will it work in my new home?
Comments (29)An old Martha Stewart color from Sherwin Williams called Pemetic Trail 8081. No chips at SW but for $7 you can get a Color To Go jug to sample it. You can get a full spectrum version from Ellen Kennon, it's called Powdered Pebbles. And, yes, chips and pics will pop up in Google searches. But I'm sure you know by now that you can not judge color by what you see on your monitor, phone, tablet, etc. It's impossible for a device to duplicate paint colors. Impossible because devices emit colored light to your eyeballs. Which is completely different from how in real life color works. In real life color, like paint chips, is reflected to your eyeballs. You should never, ever use a monitor or screen of any kind to evaluate or compare paint colors. You must get a chip. Tapestry Beige by the way is from the middle of the yellow hue family. Here's the color notation: Hue 4.43 Y / Value 8.40 / Chroma 1.06 Middle of the yellow hue family means it's a good ways away from the Green-Yellow hue family and its overtones of green. It has a chroma more than one which is another indicator that it's unlikely to show an edge of greeness. But the inherent quality of light ultimately decides what it's going to look like. Grab a chip or sample and see what it looks like in your space....See MoreY'all Think I Have Wildlife Issues? No bobcats in my living room.....
Comments (5)I was shocked it would enter the house too, especially in a place like Plano where there's tons of pets. For those of you not familiar with the Dallas suburbs of Plano and Frisco, they have experienced exponential and seemingly never-ending growth the last couple of decades, and there's a perpetual bobcat and coyote problem for residents, largely because so much growth so quickly has left the wildlife with fewer and fewer wild areas in which to live and hunt. Every year there's news stories showing bobcats in yards, on roof tops, walking along fences, strolling through yards, etc. Last year one mama bobcat raised her babies under someone's deck in their backyard. I believe they patiently waited for the babies to grow up enough to start hunting and then had them trapped and relocated. To me, it is amazing the little dog made it safely indoors, albeit injured. I hate to think what might have happened to the min pin if the door had been closed in this instance. I assume her other min pin was in the yard as well but apparently wasn't injured. The worst animal I've ever had run in an open door wasn't even a wild thing. It was a pit bull and it appeared out of nowhere, running in the door as I was walking out. My favorite wildlife invader? Hummingbirds. They seem to feel like they get to know us and they aren't at all shy and will fly in the door every now and then when someone is going in or out or whatever. Once indoors, their favorite thing to do is to perch on a ceiling fan blade and ride it around the room for a while. I have to turn off the fan, wait for it to stop and then try to catch the hummingbird and release it back outdoors, a task made difficult if there is a cat in the living room at the time. I usually have to either put the cat out or in another room so that there's not two of us trying to catch the hummingbird. I believe if a bobcat came indoors, I'd head right out the door, unless I had a cat or dog in the room that I needed to protect. I imagine a bobcat that finds itself accidentally indoors probably wants out of the house as much as the people want it out of the house....See MoreWhat all is wrong with my living room?
Comments (46)Thank you Delilah! I too find them very comfortable. They're fantastic reading chairs too. I've had many people look at them and think they'd be uncomfortable and then found them really lovely to sit back and relax in them. They actually provide very good back support. I'll share the progress as I go along. @homelawn They look like they'd be backbreakers but they're extremely good for posture. I will admit though that they need you to be fit to be able to get up from them with ease :)...See Moretangerinedoor
