Given 160 tomato plants. What to do?
Comments (8)(Smile) I haven't found out yet who the tomato plant fairy is for sure, but I suspect it may be my cousin Beki. We gardened together last year and she is really good at finding a deal. She changed jobs and isn't able to garden this year. You all have good ideas, thank you for your responses. I think there may be enough to do some of all of what you have suggested. I will have to check with the manager to see if our local Food Bank can deal with fresh produce. I do plan to do more canning this year. But if they all produce, we are talking about 250 quarts of tomato sauce! Last year I dehydrated tomatoes, crumbled them and Basil into my sourdough bread. Yummy! My Grandma said they used to dry vegatables on the roof. I'll have to try that. The thought crossed my mind to be a vender at our new Farmers Market opening this year. I will check on that too. I have not heard of Free Cycle around here. I went to the site and there is one about 40 miles from me. It sounds like a really good thing. Thanks again for your responses. I'll let you know what happens. Mrs.Wilson...See MoreDoes anyone want to help us design our back deck/related landscape?
Comments (9)If you don't need space for socializing on the deck, I think you would be better served by a simple, 6' wide runway deck/walk that hugs the house and then devote the leftover space to planting. Split the steps with half at the deck and half at the entrance to the walk (from the drive.) It would seem a lot more luxurious to you if you made the step-treads 16" (front-to-back depth.) Use a conventional railing instead of seating.

Comments (34)... could not offer any additional discount over the 10% ... does want us to be perfectly happy ... I don't see these two comments as compatible. He is low-balling, yet is paying lip service to good customer service. A month is nothing for a house you have been planning for years. True. What are the chances that another client will want/need your cabinet configuration and that color? My guess is near zero. And if anyone does want this exact cabinet in this exact configuration and shade, he or she would expect a hefty discount since they'd know it was made for /rejected by another consumer. Of course, they're first quality, but you have cabinets made so that they're exactly what YOU want. I see the sample as being a much warmer color, especially in the first pic. The darker color is striking, but has less appeal to me. My thoughts exactly. Though the colors aren't far apart, one reads "warm", while the other reads "cool". This will make a difference in the overall feel of the room, and the warmer tone is much more appealing to me personally -- kind of the same reason all the trendy marble and grey/white kitchens don't appeal to me -- too cold. since we are dealing with the Amish That's an excuse. Our builder this morning really wants to accept the mess as he doesn't want to hold off the progress. Well, of course he does! Remember, the bid is no longer $14,400. It is now $14,400 plus all the costs of delaying. For most that includes a month of interest and a month of rent. And the headache of rescheduling the countertops, plumbing, etc. You may be looking at small claims court....See MoreIf I buy this house....
Comments (25)Remodel costs depend on your area. So you may not be looking at a $50,000 remodel job. There are ways to keep costs down. What’s important is to not throw significant money into a temoorary “fix.” That is money that could go toward your dream kitchen. Spend time on this site learning what other people have done.
