Uh-Oh. Did I screw up?
Comments (1)Whoops. Pics didn't show up. Let me try again. #1 #2 #3...See MoreUh 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! just what i did not need to hear :o(
Comments (25)I have been here for a LONG time,lol I just rarely post! Yes, only certain solutions/wipes are effective against the noro virus. You can google to find the results. I can't recall the wipes we bought! I found a few on Amazon Why do some people get sick and other don't? Better immune systems--some take better care of themselves--and wash their hands properly. I'm a RN and watch people wash their hands--many just get their hands wet, little soap, lather for like 3 seconds and done! You need to really lather up and work it,lol And keep ur hands away from ur face!! When walking up and down the stairs, if possible don't touch the rails----and for sure then don't touch ur face!! Even doing it al properly won't totally eliminate the risks, but will sure help out!...See MoreUh-oh... mid-kitchen--Did I make (another) mistake?
Comments (17)I apologize for reviving this old thread and for the very poor MSPaint image I'm including, but I wanted to ask a few more questions about our rather perplexing sink situation now that we've opened up the sink and taken a good look at the specs. The company that is installing our DW "strongly suggests" we not install it to the granite, but to the cabinets to either side, one of which is the sink cabinet. We didn't think this would be a problem at the time, but now...well, it might be because our DW is right next to the sink. Because the sink is 36" and the cabinet is 36", a good portion of the cabinet is going to have to be taken out. One of the screws for the DW is going to need to go in a part of the cabinet we would have to cut out to fit the sink. So, my questions: 1. Did/does anyone else have this problem? 2. Is it really bad to screw a DW into the granite? 3. Should we just get a 33" sink? (We bought the 36" on overstock over 6 months ago, so there's no chance of returning it. We'd just try to sell it on ebay and hopefully not take too big a loss.) Thanks again!...See MoreAlisande
