A five month Spring likely again in the Pacific Northwest...
Comments (6)Summer here in Ohio... for the last week we have been in the upper 70s... yesterday and today we are at 80. However, the weekend and next week shows a cool down. Highs in the mid to upper 60's... lows in the mid 40's. This is where we should be. All of my Acers are budding out & the hostas are coming up. As far as conifers, the only one that just started this morning to grow is my Pinus contorta 'Taylor's Sunburst'....See MoreJust started an orchard two months ago.
Comments (8)In your zone/climate for persimmons I would shy away from pure Asian persimmons and go to the hybrids: 'Nikita's Gift' & 'Rosseyanka'. You may be able to pull off growing Asian persimmons but they really aren't ironclad in zone 6b. I would recommend 'Satsuma' plum as you already have a pollinator with 'Santa Rosa'. If you like sweet-sweet fruit, 'Flavor Grenade' pluot is pollinated by 'Santa Rosa' as well. Apples: 'Rubinette' and 'Ashmead's Kernel' are two very good apples that are pollinator compatible. Cherries: 'Whitegold' is a clear winner. I really like 'Raineer' cherries as-well. The two will pollinate and give more prolific crops. Two of the very best pawpaws are 'Susquehanna' & 'Shenandoah'. Apricots: 'Zard' & 'Afghanistan' are excellent. A guy named Robert Purvis has a nursery in Idaho and propagates many rare fruit trees. I bought my 'Afghanistan' and 'Zard' from him. For a list, contact him at: purvisrc@msn.com or I can provide a phone # if that email address is not in use. A few thoughts to help you along... Thank you for your service.

Comments (221)I've been lurking this thread since it was started and following along. I love reading all of the posts and even revisit a few now and then. Like some others, I have a lot of work to do to get where I want to be. I'm confident I will get there eventually though because I really want it. I started my "new habits" back towards the end of January. I didn't tell a soul because my family has a way of taking over the process and making it even harder than it already is. I selfishly just wanted to do it with and for myself and it's really made a difference. No guilt trips, no cravings and it's been easy to just say, no thank you when something is offered. I didn't make a plan or find a diet, I just stopped eating anything that could be remotely described as "junk". No fast food, no sugar, no snacking. I stopped cooking in the evenings; I only eat if I'm hungry and I only eat enough to feel comfortable regardless of the portion on my plate. I started buying ready made salad from our farmer's market because I buy veggies but never get around to slicing and dicing. It's a chore I just hate to do and I procrastinate till they rot. Freshly made on site is expensive, but it's so worth it! I eat some carbs even white, but instead of counting every calorie, I use the points assigned to foods in WW as a guide to balance out my intake. So far, I'm down 19.5 lbs and one pant size. Three weeks or so into my new size and now they're starting to feel a tad baggy. Next challenge, more exercise! Great thread JTL, it's nice to see the support between every one and some of the tips here are really awesome! Thanks for starting it!...See MoreAppliance warranty starts day of purchase but delivery takes months???
Comments (12)Keep the purchase receipt and also insist on a signed/dated DELIVERY receipt to support the disparity in the dates if a warranty issue arises. Manufacturers *should* also consider the *installation* date regards to warranty ... a few may, most may not. Situations may arise in which a builder wants an appliance, especially items related to installation dimensions, on-site weeks or months before completion of a build or remodel project to confirm fitment .. at which point the machine of course can't yet be run. Serial numbers are coded for manufacture dates ... typically year and either month or week. Manufacturers often reference the serial to determine whether an appliance is within warranty. I once bought a Maytag washer via eBay on a close-out deal, in May of 2008. The serial number indicates December 2005 manufacture date. It developed a problem in October or November of 2008, warranty covered it. I had registered the purchase. They didn't question anything about it....See MoreMonyet
