Anyone ever had a bad experience with a bamboo nursery?
Comments (4)One of them, the decora which had the little shrubby growth at the bottom recovered and made new small shoots in the late summer, and this spring they made shoots nearly as big as the originals making a full recovery. the other one, makinoi which had only 2 large culms with very little foliage eventually lost their leaves and didn't make it so it was a goner. It seems like severely root bound plants can make a full recovery as long as they still have viable buds and the rhizomes haven't dried out completely, but there is a point where the shoot buds are no longer viable and the plant is pretty much dead as they become a living stick. Many commercial nurseries take over-sized divisions sticking them in pots with minimal soil which leads to root-bound plants very quick, and as these divisions dehydrate very easily, the lose viability very fast. Many times, nurseries are only worried about the bottom dollar so they don't care if the plants die because they already made their money and apparently aren't interested in repeat customers. If you are planning on getting bamboo plants, I would suggest first trying to find a local grove of bamboo you can dig from, and then perhaps looking on bamboowebforums to find a forum member you can make a road trip to to collect many bamboos at once. It is definitely worth the time. If you can't find anyone then I would suggest bamboogarden in Oregon because I know it is a legitimate bamboo nursery....See MoreTell me about your handbag - poll
Comments (94)Thanks francypants and marlene! Marlene, I bet your LV luggage is just gorgeous, especially with the patina! BB, for some reason I have always been drawn to the "saddle" color of leather. I see it as more neutral and kinda like a little of the "sloppyness" look of it. I have one similar I got from JCrew a couple of years or so ago, but it's suede and at the same time, I got a new SUV with black carpet and it rubbed off on my new purse and I can't get it off! I literally got to carry it one time. I just looks dirty now! This one isn't suede, and now that I know to keep my purses on my seat of car, I shouldn't be a problem....See MoreHas anyone ever dyed a sofa slipcover?
Comments (37)My daughter is giving us her old couch & loveseat. They are down with removable covers. My problem is the covers are red and have stains, she has five children, and they don’t match the rest of our living room. Can red be dyed another color like a brown or ?. I would really live to have them just not in red, help!...See MoreAnyone here had experience different size wall cabinets?
Comments (16)Excuse me, M.Miller while on the one hand, i thank you for your very helpful tips, and would have followed up if not for being sidewinded, what's that about elitism, M.Miller? jemimabean, what's black & white & RED all over? A newspaper? NO! Because i'm black w/shock, white w/shock and I'M SEEING RED. How dare you accuse me based on zilch?? Moreover, what color is my face? FYI my eyes are what they call black. Why are you bringing race into this? Is cancer not a tearjerker cause? Is special-ed not a tearjerker cause? Ditto for so much more! Let me ask you - what size AND width feet do you have? Do you have SEVERE neuropathy, AND SEVERE varicose veins, AND SEVERE TARSAL-tunnel syndrome, AND SEVERE Tendinitis - all in your feet & legs, all because for decades you couldn't find decent shoes to fit Size 5 feet which ALSO have a wide toebox? Do YOU have the sort of narrow-ankle wide toebox configuration WITH short feet? Do YOU need to get little boys' 4.5 SmartFit sandals, because those are the ONLY ones which fit you after HOURS AND HOURS at PayLess, while your legs were killing you trying on zillions of shoes? Do YOU need to get little boys socks, since those are what fit you? Are YOU able to not keep warm well in winter, because no good-quality socks fit you IN LENGTH, nor would they fit IN WIDTH inside shoes, due to short & wide feet? In the past, there was specialization such as shoemakers, so one didn't have to worry about a mass-production, one-size-fits-all world. BRRRRRR - am i in a rage! I'd like to see YOU jemimabean trying to enter just a TINY WINDOW of my harsh experiences as stated above. Boy would you freak out. And - you better believe its just a TINY WINDOW. Because i also suffer painful smile-cheek muscles since childhood, not being able since childhood to even "whisper" M & N sounds when i'd have colds as it would feel like my internal membranes are being slashed, and SO much more. Would you like to experience all this? And that's the tip of iceberg! So I hereby accuse YOU of discrimination to me, because i can practically assure you that your experiences do NOT hold a candle to MY harsh experiences. Do you really think that blacks are the only ones to suffer INTENSELY? And yes, i acknowledge that blacks have suffered intensely, and have been rendered invisible for centuries. I acknowledge it, because i've eyes in my head, and i, too, am invisiblized on MANY fronts. But as for you, why don't you just LOOK around you and analyze. Look inside nursing homes. Look inside institutions. Examine INDIVIDUALS! Are they any less invisible? With needs which are neglected, like my own have been invisiblized?? Like Fauci has invisiblized HCQ and Anti-Cholesterol solutions?? Like stem-cells have been suppressed?? For crying out loud!! So, Yes, i'm seeing Red! Based on my own experiences i'm seeing Red! No less than BLM, so there you have it....See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
