I'm new here but I think you'll like this
Comments (19)Ah! Agapanthus. No, I do not think CT is too cold to grow this; I think I've seen it in nurseries. I just never grew it myself but now I may have to start, lol! Ann, I meant it - using the stems of this plant is a nice touch. I just sell my bouquets with elastic bands wrapped around them. I looked into those bouquet wrappers but I hate to use plastic, so I decided against them. I guess it doesn't make much difference since some customers ask for a plastic bag for the bouquets anwyway, but some don't, and some put the bouquets in their reusable bags. There was a company that kept touting compostable wraps/bouquet holders but every time I check with them they keep saying they are "in the works" and will be ready soon. So I gave up on that!

Comments (14)Skibby, you use milkweed in food? I thought it was poisonous. Didn't it kill Abraham Lincoln's mother? I let it go one year and it bloomed late in the year along with the wild ageratum. Wove the two together for a very nice hair wreath for the local Renaissance Festival. I let the trumpet honeysuckle go on the steep bank in front of the house. I tried to landscape it one year and it was quite a comedy. See in your minds eye a fat old woman toppling over as she tries to dig with a spade. See in your minds eye a fat old woman sliding downhill on her butt as she tries to sit and dig with a trowel. See in your minds eye a fat old woman bracing her left foot against the anchored spade she holds with her left hand as she digs with that trowel. See her innocently sitting upright every time a car drives by. Not a juniper nor a daylily to be found from that planting session. I gladly leave the front bank to the weeds....See MoreI'm back with kitchen drawings! What do you think
Comments (15)Good the desk isn't blue. :-) Do you have the overhead Birdseye view of the layout that you could post? The one other thing jumping out at me is that one upper cabinet next to the corner glass to the counter upper. I cannot see due to the angle of the drawing what's happening on the other side of the window (sink side). I think another matching upper on the left side would look balanced, but I cannot tell what's happening there. I think BB has a point about that large fridge freezer unit. It does look to be crowding a bit on that side. But as I said, it might be because the angle is not showing that side....See MoreYou may think I'm crazy
Comments (9)Bkay, I did think of that, and you may be right. Maybe that’s why they have 40 baskets of them. And like you, I would want to unroll them before I bought and really mess up their display. In their defense, however, there were no fabrics I would call reproduction, 30s, Civil War, etc., in the shop. There were only kids‘ fabrics and holiday fabrics, which were in separate baskets, batiks, and what I would call ”contemporary” fabrics, for lack of a better description. In the area where I live, I have found only one shop that carries Civil War or reproduction fabrics. I suppose a shop has only so much room, and they have to decide what to specialize in. I’m sure the owner’s preference has an impact on what they carry too....See More- 7 years ago
