Peppers didn't like 5-1-1, suggestions, comments?
Comments (11)I think to place it neatly into one sentence... it's the CONCEPTS of the mediums that are important to understand. I'm very lucky in that I have a large overhang on the east-facing garage in front of which I do most of my container growing outdoors. When weather promises to be very inclement, I pull the pots further into the garage until the weather gets better. Other variables I had to deal with this season, that are unusual, were intense heat and sun. Even though many of my garden planted plants were moist enough and fed, the leaves still showed burn and/or wilt due to this unusual heat and hot sun. If Mother Nature was having a tough time of it, even with my help, I know my potted plants were having a more difficult time. So, knowing and understanding the concepts of the mixes I use, and knowing that I had other different environmental variables to deal with, I did ok with the extra shade from the garage overhang. Anything in pots out in the hot sun all day, without anything to shade it, burned and wilted horribly. Here in the Midwest, we didn't have to deal with excess moisture from rain... we barely got any! I watered all containers by hand, and was forced to use soaker hoses in the gardens a lot earlier than normal. I'm very glad I learned how and why the 511 and the Gritty Mix work... and can adjust them to suit a number of variables that might only apply to me and my unique micro-environments....See MoreWould like comments about floor plan
Comments (17)It seems odd to have the secondary bathroom bump out like that. Why not expand the flanking BR's out to that point? I'd also prefer ONE closet in the study and BR #3 -- one closet with a pair of doors in the middle. That IS an almost-not-there foyer. Could the entry door and front stoop move out a little? Would you like a pair of glass French doors set on the diagonal into the study to widen the foyer? I'd want larger windows than shown on the plan and more on the sides of the house unless you'll stare into another home close by. (Remove the window in a closet!) Is the porch screened? It is too shallow to be of much use as it is. Is it roofed? If you aren't going to use it, why build it? It will shade the interior rooms, if that's its purpose. I'd either deepen the porch or skip it and enlarge the family room and kitchen. Can you fit furniture into the family room, leaving space for 'walkway' between it and the study? I like the space you have between the garage and the house proper. This would be my 'back hall' -- where all sorts of 'stuff' stays instead of coming into the house. (Hooks for coats; place for shoes; big closet for all that junk i buy at Costco, mops, brooms, the central vac hose, etc.) This is a really nice plan. I do wonder if the 'public spaces' are large enough for what amounts to a 4 BR home....See MoreI Can't Comment or Like

Comments (21)Isn't it stupid that we have to consistently do a song and dance to try to get things to work properly here? When I had trouble with my thread not posting recently, I messaged Houzz Support and DAYS after my thread(s) appeared, Support emailed me to say they were visible. Well, no duh. When I replied to say that yes, I know... they finally appeared but it took a few days and others experienced the same thing, I received another response advising me that they were constantly making improvements to enhance our experience. I sprained my eyeballs rolling them....See Moresalonva
