Some Observations On The New DA Catalog
Comments (26)Mountie, I have a bunch of recently acquired Austins ($10 overstock summer sale) so they are relatively new but had been grown on from bare roots in the nursery and were in 3G pots. Carding Mill is a STUNNER. So is Boscobel! Ambridge Rose, Charlotte, Golden Celebration, Abe Darby, Grace, Bishop's Castle, Munstead Wood, Heritage, Darcy Bussell, Mary Rose and Jude the O all do well here. It just depends on your expectations and how much you are willing to tolerate. Essentially mine flower like crazy, lose lots of leaves, re-foliate in 3 weeks, bloom in two-three more and so it goes. I'm willing to deal with that. I don't mind roses with a defoliation cycle as I have a jumbled garden with stuff filling in. Jubilee Celebration, Princess Alexandra of Kent and Princess Anne are not like the above. They seem to be slower to repeat with about the same amount of leaf drop. I've often wanted to try Lichfield Angel but I've heard terrible things about it here. It's gorgeous in England⦠Best way to find out is to try! Susan...See MoreSome interesting hemlock observations
Comments (23)Resin, there are a couple understory eastern hemlocks near me that I watch, and those too were infected & partly defoliated, but now have recovered. One happy story is that gypsy moths have pretty much been eradicated in all areas that I can observe. The last ones I saw was 2004 when first here -- there were a couple on my sugar maple trunk, but dead or dying from a disgusting-looking fungal infection. Since then, none. The fungus was a purposely-introduced agent from the gypsy moth's original Asian range back in the '80s, but took quite a few yrs to get established....See MoreFish- some observations
Comments (5)I'm growing fish for the first time this year too. They all started out mostly or all green, but as they got older they've started showing more and more variegation. I don't know if that's ordinary for them or if they were stressed at first. One thing for sure, they're among the healthiest plants of all the varieties I'm growing--no idea why, since I treat all my pepper plants the same. I started them late so they're only now starting to set fruit....See MoreMy DIY Miele Cleaning Cycle - Some Observations
Comments (12)@ chefwong While I understand your desire to duplicate the functionality of this cycle on your W4840, that machine was not designed for this cycle. That may be why water leaked into your door - Miele made changes to the glass design in the newer W4842 and may have also made other changes to accommodate the higher water levels of the Clean Machine cycle. There are many, many pleased owners of W4840 machines that do not have issues keeping their machines clean. I remember you had a mold issue before, but if you got that under control you should be fine simply by doing regular HOT or SANITIZE washes. If you want something close to the Clean Machine cycle, just use the SANITARY cycle and throw half a load of rags in there to keep the suds down. Add citric acid to remove any calcification (if you have hard water) or sodium carbonate (wash soda) if you want to "de-gunk" your machine. Add chlorine bleach as usual to the bleach compartment. Do not use them together. I think you will find the SANITARY cycle may actually do a better job than a Clean Machine cycle simply because the SANITARY cycle runs for a much longer period of time. Give it a try!...See MoreUser
