Uh Oh did I mess up?
Comments (14)Even if planted upside down, I bet that any existing shoot would find its way upward toward heat and light. My point was that the non-sprouters might either be slow starters, or not have any eyes to begin with, so you may be waiting on absolutely nothing. That's why I like to watch them before I plant them. It sounds like you got commercially produced pot roots Kat, with lots of (usually) broken 'fingers' hanging off a tight knot of smaller tubers clustered around an old cut off stem. I fell for a few packs of those at a big variety store and 2 of 3 clumps have yet to show any signs of growth. Sometimes you get all good tubers, it's just not very good quality control in those cases, in my opinion. And it's a shame the dahlia eager shopper might not know what to look for which are signs of growth: an eye or shoot already showing on the shelf in the store in either light green, pink or purple showing signs of life from the dull brown tuber. If you really wonder, I would do as Triple B said and unearth them, put them in light and barely damp soil with the crown/stem exposed and see if you do see growth in a few days. If you do, you can replant them with confidence. I have nothing against potroots, but those haggard, dried out, broken masses that are packed in bulk are often a lost cause and you're better off spending your $ on a solid dahlia vendor's tubers or potroots. For what it's worth....See MoreUh oh... should I still get induction?
Comments (18)I also have a Miele Induction unit. Like the above poster, I've found the power to be immediately responsive. There are 12 power settings plus boost, and if I so choose I can tweak it to have half settings, so that there are 24. Much to my surprise, I haven't found this to be necessary--I fully expected to change that setting. I have melted chocolate chips directly in the pot with no problem, and got plenty of heat to do a proper sear on meat. I hear a slight buzzing with some of my cookware, most notably the ones with discs on the bottom. Until recently I never heard the high pitched chirp that some people seem to hear. But recently I had all 5 burners going, and all of a sudden there wss a very soft, high pitched sound that I hadn't heard before. It was not intrusive or annoying to me, but it made me stop and think 'so THAT is what those people hear'. :-) I feel comfortable shaking my pans if I want to--but I find that I do it less now than I did on the old cooktop, as the heat is distributed evenly across the bottom of the pots. Each brand of cooktop is slightly different, though--I wouldn't make a decision not to get one based on the portable, unless you just really didn't like cooking on it for some reason. For me, I love cooking on induction and would never go back to gas. Cj...See MoreUh oh,,, I hope I don't buy more of MY obsession on CL
Comments (18)From the looks of the pic above. I'd say our houses might be of similar vintage. Do you know when yours was built? I look the more 'formal' ones like yours, too, but old pine has had my number for a long time.... I wish that my upstairs vanity had been pine (as the seller noted on CL) but it turned out to be poplar, so didn't take stain quite like I had hoped. The pieces above are in my area, so I hope to hear back from the seller soon. I hate it when something is just posted, but you never get a reply from the seller. I saw this last month, and wrote a few times, but never heard back. I'd sell something I have now to be able to get this! Look at the grain of the wood in the bottom photo. Here is a link that might be useful: antique stepback secretary...See MoreWatching Jeopardy?
Comments (30)Yeah, I never really saw the appeal of Austin. He was a great player too, but most of the time I didn't find his antics that funny. Quirky for sure. Buzzy was ok. I was trying to remember the name of the champion who was always so serious looking and hardly ever smiled. Finally someone must have mentioned it because at the beginning of the program he'd put on this really fake smile for the camera. He was in the recent million dollar championship game....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
