Hi all, I was going to post a qestion about the effects of all this rain here in the northeast. At the time of this post it is raining again. Most plants seem stunted and light green, which got me reading the books (Rodale). It seems that the rain may have washed most if not all nitrogen out. Calcium and magnesium also leach away. Pulverized lime is cheap today yet so I dusted every plant late in the day. I mean all including potatoes, lettus, amaranth, cabbage, brocoli, peppers, peas, beans, onions, ect.. Everything took a leap in appearance for the better. Greener and just plain better looking. As urine is endorsed here, I saved a milk jug of the liguid, cut it 50.50 with saved rain water and tried it on the brocoli. Success, so saved up some more, you can easily get 1 gal. a day, and donated it to the the balance of the plants. It works. Dear other does not know. In short try a dusting of lime followed a day or so later with some nitrogen whatever the source. You add the lime first I am told by some farmers. Anyway it works. Best regards to all.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been out of town. I'm south of Tampa and actually on the coast, which means warmer temps than the inland areas of zone 9b. Can't even recall the last time we had a freezing temp here. Foxtails are one of the most common palms around here and they thrive. Along with royals, queens, cocounuts, and christmas palms. In fact, there's a large palm farm within a mile of my neighborhood that grows tons of large, healthy palms. Weather is definitely not an issue here. Maybe I just expected too much from my foxtail. All over the neighborhood I see foxtails with 8-10 fronds. I have watched my neighbor's foxtail sprout and open 3 new fronds in the 3 months since it was planted. Perhaps mine is just slower because it's smaller and is just taking longer to get established. I guess time will tell. BTW, the second spear has now caught up in size with the first spear. Starting to wonder which will open first!

Hi ravencajun, Thanks for the information, I put this in my favorites so that I can go back and research those later. I hope you don't mind but I do have another question about those type of programs. I have never used Quick Time or itunes, they were on my computer when I had it built. My question is what are the purpose of these programs and what are they used for? Please give me an example. I was use to Media Player because of my music and I learned how to put some music into the Media Player. I know there are programs out there that you can use for music n't open media player why?" size=40> Message: Optional Link URL:    Name of the Link: Information about Posting You must be logged in to post a message.

WOW... how totally timely! My home gets photographed today, with listing on Wed 5/1. In the last 2 weeks, homes in this neighborhood have been selling within the first 1-2 weeks. However, pricing, sans emotion, is a hurdle I needed to face. I have found what helped me the most when detaching myself emotionally from this little cottage (that I have so improved and loved over the past 10 years) is studying the MINUTE details from posted photos of my competition. These are all small, modest 'starter homes'. I made myself view these offerings as if I were considering them for myself, and compared similarities and differences to my home. Eye-opening, for certain! A hardwood floor is a hardwood floor, no matter the stain color. All ranges cook and fridges cool, DW clean, etc. Better, fancier, bells-and-whistles are nice, but... not at some premium price. Newer roof, clean and uncluttered rooms, furnace/AC in good condition, good windows, updated kitchen and baths appealed to me. A finished basement, large shed outfitted as a workshop, huge kiddie play structure, or a water garden would be major negatives, for my personal needs. So I stepped back, and mentally erased the personalized improvements to this house, and focused on what I would be willing to pay for the basics. It was a sobering experience... but so worthwhile. I came up with my dollar value for the house. My agent came yesterday, having done a CMA prior to our meeting. After viewing the house, he decided he needed to re-evaluate his pricing opinion. His comment, "The house is a winner, very nice!" I have no doubt we will easily agree on the asking price. The minute that sign appears in the front yard on Wednesday, this is no longer my home. It is merely a piece of property that I am offering up and leaving. My emotional attachment can be recalled in all the photos. The cottage will belong to another... I will have moved on.
