Comments (24)To sum up the changes from a week ago, it's now "Light up one big counter" and "Make the drawers a.b.a.p." rosieo, no matter what you do, you have a handle on the big things. I don't know if you will be happier with the range here or there; it may be a minor thing compared to all the other things you have figured out. In your set of images, photos 1 to 5 show the kitchen is in a windowless corner of the house. With a mirror on the wall you will get more light into the kitchen, coming from another angle. This makes a difference. ((B.t.w. Photos 1 to 5 make me think the footprint of the house is still in flux: I saw a storage area behind the pantry.)) Knowing now what I now know about your house, I would go to ikea for wood counters, for the price (way less than stone) and quality. Nobody has ever said anything bad about them. With the money saved, you can buy more of other things. If you have the money, you could have two single dishdrawers. When open to full drawer extension (or partially), they take up less space than a 30"high dishwasher panel. And, you cannot hit your shin on them. If you are certain that dishes will often go first to the sink (+disposer) before going to the dishwasher, you could justify putting the sink closer to the end, and the dishwasher on the other side of the sink. 500mm drawers If you go with the layout now shown in photo #10, know this: Your dead space corner could be reduced in size, if your counters were only e.g. 23.5" on top of 21" cabinets. Ikea drawers only need 21" space from front to back. Ikea 500mm length drawer slides are identical to the current model of Blum 500mm length drawer slides, and the drawers are almost identical, with an Ikea soft close damper added. I have them. I also have some of the longest possible Blum drawers: they're more spacious, but not a way way great thing to have absolutely. (p.s. length in this paragraph is the length of the gliders = depth of cabinet = distance front to back). If you went with the range-at-end, and then traded the range for a smaller one, you would have an easier time getting in and out of the corner it blocks. Is exhaust venting in your kitchen plan?...See MoreRoses......help Morph!
Comments (2)For the Don Juan (and general for climbing roses), cane only if there are dead branches or if you have to restrict it for space. It's best if you don't have to cane living wood, but if you gotta, you gotta. You'll be able to identify any dead wood once the new leaves start coming in, which will push off any remaining dead leaves. If there are still a few dead leaves on it at that point, pick them off if you want. Eventually you'll need to do a renewal pruning of living wood, about a third of it per year, but that generally isn't until year 3 to 5. Even then, it's optional, but the rose will reduce its blooming rate and the blossoming canes will tend to be higher than most people like them. For a first-year rose, three or four roses actually isn't that bad. Climbing roses aren't like Knockouts, which will bloom well the first year. This year, feed with a good organic (Milorganite works well, soybean meal, Espoma Rose Tone if you have to) now or shortly as the rose will wake up hungry. After that, feed again in June after first bloom, and again in July and a third time in August. That'll encourage strong growth through the summer for blossom in 2016. If you must use a synthetic, try for a balanced one (10-10-10 or the like) for this year. Hold off first feeding until the leaves come in, but otherwise feed as above through summer. Next year, go with a nitrogen-heavy one, like 20-10-10 or more. Mulch well. Water 1" per week, and don't let the rose go dry; roses have wide root systems, but shallow. If you have a bag of Epsom salt on-hand (doesn't everybody have one in the garage by now?!?), take a very tiny handful, about 1 ounce, and spread it evenly around the rose base out to about four feet. Do that now, and yearly in early spring. Roses are pretty demanding of magnesium. Don't do that if I already told you your soil's magnesium-heavy, though. And trim the rose hips immediately post-bloom. If you're trimming off the blossom as it fades, that's not too early. It encourages rebloom....See MoreWhere is JOE? and Morph?? & How are you All??
Comments (14)LOL! I haven't been on here in forever and just today I said "Let me check what's going on on houzz...." The first thing I see is my name in capital letters in a post from Lisa....LOL! It was meant to be... Hey everyone, I hope you and yours are all dealing with the pandemic as best as possible. My wife is a nurse and has been seeing covid patients. She is good. I hope everyone's lawns are good! I can't remember the last update I gave but I have been following the lawn care nut's cool season lawn program. I can't believe after four years of hacking away I was so off on so many things....his guide really set me straight. Last August I redid the lawn one final time; used premium KBG seed from the seed superstore, used the Next products, CX DIY fert, etc.....have been following the program to a T and the lawn looks like I always hoped it would. I am of course praying that the summer is kind to it, but I've been very methodical in my watering, fertilizing, and fungus control, am mowing every 3 days, and haven't had any crabgrass or K31 pop up. I'm even reading a book on container gardening which I plan to try this summer!...See Morepippacovalent
