what questions would you ask Mel.
Comments (3)I'd ask him why he thinks 6" of soil is adequate for growing vegetables in the deep south. I'd also critique his plant spacings and choice of materials for trellis construction....But, that's just me....no harm intended.

Comments (13)Regarding the driveway/half-circle, there is a huge price difference between pavers and blacktop. Besides the cost of labor and the pavers themselves, they also require a lot of base prep. Blacktop will require base prep but not with the precision pavers need. If you're enjoying the semi-privacy of the the shrubs and want to keep cost down, you could leave them and work with what you have. First talk to a nursery about how much they can be trimmed (without killing them), tear out the short concrete walkway, plant more grass and leave it as it is.........or you could set a bench to the right or left of where the walkway was. Ideally, I'd tear them out and put in new landscaping, but I suggested leaving them since you state you don't have extra time to spend in the yard. My guess is the gravel driveway was an afterthought with the previous owners and someone removed a portion of the walkway when they put in the gravel. I would do a slightly raised bed along the front of the house, and I would make it deeper than it is now.....bringing it out close the edge of the porch landing. I also wouldn't hesitate to add some soft curves to it! Since you have the vents to worry about (I also have them) the beds can rise from the grass area, then slope back down toward the house. IOW's, don't want to raise the level of soil against your house. As others mentioned, I definitely talk to your local nurseries since they usually have someone on staff that can help with basic layouts and will also be able to recommend the plants that work best in your area....See MoreMCM fans...what would you ask for this Poul Jensen chair?
Comments (20)Oh, I'm sure it will be. This antiques dealer/refurbished is AMAZING, even though I'm not a fan of 50's-70's furniture. His name is Scott Neven at Moderne (Neven & Neven) in Hudson, NY. I have never seen refinished wood as BEAUTIFUL as his...seriously looks like it is a showroom for current, brand-new furniture. I'm happy the chair didn't make our wood-pile and that it's going to be beautiful in someone's home! I'm sure the price tag will be upwards of $1000 when done. Happy he bought it because the other six antiques dealers never got back to me--one lady wanted pairs only, so I'm pretty stoked it's got a new home! Sarah (Plus, my husband got called a "picker," so he's tickled pink--even planned a date day for us to walk around Hudson and check out the antiques dealers...totally worth selling the chair!)...See MoreWhat would you ask your deceased parent?
Comments (31)Kinda long, but some maybe worthwhile suggestions at the end. My dad was 28 when I was born and my mom 26, I think. My youngest brother was born when I was 5 and mom went to psych. hospital about 6 mos. later, as I neared 6, first in a city nearby and later, I think when she got TB (common at the time), in a city some miles away, where she died of it in 1942, when I was 13. She, having lost her father when young, had become good friends with dad's father, and he died shortly after she went to hosp., so dad was wondering how to break that news to her ... but when she saw him, she said 'Grandpa died, didn't he?". Grandma, living with her sister, came to live with us. There are many things I'd like to talk about with them, and each. So I'd like to talk to them about those years. Hired farmhands are often single males, but from '34 we had some young couples, the wife helping in the house - until pregnancy. World War II started for many countries iin 1939 and when one such husband went to war, his wife made a deal with dad to have her return with small daughter to have a home with us, while helping our family. Soon after that war dad sold the farm near here in Ontario and moved to Saskatchewan, where he farmed for much of the rest of his life. Brother left that farm to retire in Regina last year, at 90. For those of you with parents still alive, give a thought occasionally to what you'd like to ask them - and ask it, while answers still available, and they not dealing with dementia - (yet?). Also - partners should learn the essentials of what your partner takes care of in your family ... while assistance in learning is still at hand. Learning those essentials while grieving the loss of your loved one, is no picnic - and with the one who could have helped till yesterday - gone! ole joyful ... 50+ years survivor of divorce...See More- 5 years ago
