Please talk me out of it....
Comments (11)If you cant get them all in, as we have pretty much agreed is the best idea, you can knock together a sort of plant hotel that will get you through and be usefull in the future. I had a section of fence, between my house and my neighbors that was both very sheltered, unimproved, and sort of a micro climate. I rounded up some old boards. I had 4 2x6's available, and nailed them together in a rectangle shape that looked like a sort of empty window frame. Then I layed it down on the ground in my shady sheltered spot, and staple gunned a sheet of 6 mil plastic inside of it. (think inside fitted sheet) be sure to leave one corner with enough extra plastic that you can just weight it, not staple it, so that when you get rain you can tug this corner down so the whole thing can drain. then I set the plants in and I filled around them with part of an old rotted straw bale I had, you could use compost or what ever.this will both keep them cool and moist. I used this for an ill-timed family vacation to disny land, when we were having a heat wave at home and didnt loose a thing. later in the season, I tented it with more 6 mil plastic doubled in a lean too against the fence,(plastic down the fence side, too, all tucked in) and it made a great cold frame. this lasted several years, and I have thought often that altho I finished off that area and there isnt room for the hotel there any longer I should put one someplace else, because it really saved me over and over....See MorePlease talk me out of it! lol
Comments (11)You have great taste, it's lovely. It said sold out except with collections and then it also said the 2008 collections are sold out. So you probably can't get it anyway as it seems to be totally unavailable. Yesterday I saw one of the 2009 intros, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE on the Lily Auction and the bid was up to $400.00 for a single fan and there was still aboiut 6 hours to go. I don't know were it closed at because I didn't look. Again, it was only available with collections and the collections are sold out....See MoreGot these hosta, today--talk me out of a couple?
Comments (22)Whew--it's HOT AND HUMID out there today! I'm figuring out ways to acquire more *spaaaacce* for all the in-coming hosta and the newly acquired ones at the KNOLLWOOD SALE----Dave!! You're right--I have it on my calendar from the first inkling I get about the date and I pre-shop several days ahead to see what they may be getting! I was trying to remember to let you know about it, AFTER I got first dibs on what was there--ahead of you! LOL No--really--I was going to email you and tell you about the sale but I'm so focused on making *spppaaaace*, that I forgot! btw--they had the reverse of June (can't remember the name) but it seems they are so wildly popular, they flew off the shelves BEFORE the sale--all of them!!! Another--BTW, Dave, if you HAVE to manage the size of Niagara Falls, and you HAVE to find someone to take a piece off your hands, again--I'm here!!! The one you gave me that I divided to share with Buff didn't make it in Spring '07 (thankfully, hers survived)!!!! But, remember me-only if you HAVE to control it to make room for what YOU bring back from the sale!! hehehe Alexa--that is so nice of you to offer a piece of your A.S., but since I do have an eye coming from an ebay win, don't disturb yours. HUGE, you say??? Oh my--I bet they are truly awesome! Got pics.? I loved the one I got from Hallson's, especially as it matured and mine had 'June-like' colors that were more evident in my shady spot! Again--THANK YOU, for the offer!!!! :o)...See MorePlease, please talk me out of getting these
Comments (9)I'm with lauriedeee on this one. Step away and think about whether you can and actually WILL use these tiles before making an impulse purchase. I am currently storing tile that I picked out for a bathroom and tile that I picked out for my kitchen and it's not pretty. Yes, the price is good, but if you don't have somewhere you absolutely will use it, then it will end up a waste of money and storage space. Take a deep breath and look at your house. Is there a space you absolutely will remodel and this is the perfect tile? Or are you trying to fit the tile in somewhere just because the price is good? Do you know the exact quantity you need or will you end up purchasing a bundle of tile only to discover you didn't purchase enough or you purchased way too much? If you find a project for it, do you have somewhere to actually store the tile for a long time until you get to that project?...See Moreterilyn
