Finally 'Cracked the Code' on Asters!
Comments (3)Deb, I am looking at my asters. A few are good looking top to bottom and I cut them back a few times and they stayed upright and compact and the foliage is great. I bought them locally as a container filler and haven't a name to offer. But I do have another one that I also cut back, but it still got pretty tall and is flopping and the bottom is sparse...haven't gotten close enough to see if the foliage is 'crispy'. But I keep looking at it and thinking about what I could do to make them look better next year, because I do like the top. Your approach sounds like it is working out well. Would love to see a photo! :-)...See MoreLets crack the Hoya sp Tanna Island code
Comments (11)I would say the dry period lasted from about Thanksgiving to mid or late January. It didn't exactly wrinkle but the leaves got floppier and a little thin, and it dropped about two leaves, which is barely anything if you look at this plant. It fared far better than say, erythrostemma or villosa. Oddly, some of my hoyas that I thought were more delicate didn't even blink. Buotii in particular, showed no signs that anything was amiss, while finlaysonii, which looks tough, was definitely upset with me... wrinkled, droopy. Weird. Two feet, huh? I think it's definitely approaching that length. It likes to fill out more than it likes to increase length though. My speckled lacunosa is not nearly as big, maybe about one quarter to one third of the size, but I guess it just likes to bloom. I will try inspecting sp. Tanna Island a little more carefully, to see if there are any signs of anything. I haven't looked closely at it in a while, partially because it is such a mass of vines and I usually have to untangle it from one or two other plants, and move about four out of the way, before I can access it properly. Just for kicks, here's a pic of sp. Tanna Island from Aug 2009, right about when I got it. It's the one on the left side. And here it is much more recently (Nov 2010, I believe?)...See MoreHorizontal Cracks on Foundation.
Comments (8)If you're looking at using your" life savings" and from your comments, I see that this is your first house buying experience, what better investment are you going to make other than having the house inspected regardless of cost? There are always going to be foundation or other problems or some other issue that will arise over time but if you go into the deal with all the information at your disposal, you will at least start with a clear idea of what you have to work with. Clay soils have their own issues regardless of where in the country you find them but basing your buying decision on one house "down the block" without knowing the maintenance history behind that one structure is just looking for an excuse to keep looking. Please don't think I'm getting on your case but after being a homeowner for 50+ years and dealing with single and small multifamily real estate across the US for 20+ years before I retired (not as a realtor), and anytime someone says they don't want to investigate every possible aspect of buying a home because it's too expensive, I tend to say that whatever it costs to get all the inspections necessary before you sign on the dotted line is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy. Those inspections will also give you a basis of any changes that happen going forward as the years go by. It also gives you a valid bargaining point with the seller should those inspections find something (bad) that the owner "forgot to mention" during the mandatory seller's condition statement usually required by law....See MoreReally believe I've cracked the Heuchera code
