I don't want to lose my Phal to rot
Comments (2)I suppose I'm too sentimental for my own good. I know this won't be the only orchid I'll ever have and it has proven to be a learning experience, so I haven't come away totally empty handed. It's still hanging on though. I went ahead and ordered the Thiomyl which will probably arrive early next week. Until then, I've repotted it and will just leave it alone. I'll check it again when the thiomyl arrives....See MoreI don't want green eggs
Comments (9)I never have green eggs with this method. Cover eggs with water and salt generously- bring to boil. Cover, and turn off the burner. Let sit for 10 minutes (I set a timer). Drain hot water and add ice and cold water to immediatly chill. Peel the eggs under running cool water and refrigerate immediatly. Works like a charm!...See MoreDon't wanna lose this young fig tree
Comments (16)Unlike most trees, it does not hurt to plant fig trees an inch or 2 below the soil surface. The part that is planted below will just sprout more roots. Most trees do not do this and suffer disease and may be killed. And yes, if you regularly irrigate your entire yard (more than 1 inch of surface water) it could cause the "bathtub effect". However, since I use to live in west Texas and by the look of the pictures, I am assuming you are not regularly irrigating your yard. If you are watering to keep the yard alive, it will not be enough water to cause the bathtub effect. If it were mine I would amend the soil in a 4 foot area to cover the root ball and mulch on top of that. I had a fig tree in a dry area with clay and it did not grow much at all for 4 or 5 years. I finally mulched it with about 3 to 4 inches of pine bark and added a little fertilizer last year and It grew and even made figs. Do not fertilize too much or it will go vegetative and grow but not produce....See Moredon't care about second bedroom but care about losing a closet
Comments (10)So I went back to the condo today with a realtor. I think I could definitely live with the 2nd bedroom now. I would make it into a study. I was disappointed that there is no washer/dryer in the unit but it is right next to the apartment. Of course, that means there would always be folks outside my door. It was on the 20th floor so it had a great view but I was a little weirded out being on a balcony that high up. I was also curious about the windows. They looked old to me and in one window the seal was broken (foggy). I have no idea if/when that would be fixed in a high rise condo. Also, what kind of assessment would that be? It would have to just pots and pots of money. There is now an offer on the place (not mine) but now I know I could live there--preferably on a lower floor. The condo comes with doorman, concierge, gym, pool, dry cleaners and restaurant. It is close to the museum, the main library, and other amenities. Then, I looked at another building in a different area of the city. This building did not have garage parking--I would have to pay 300-400 per month to park. The apartments and the building were in much better condition but of course, the price was higher. This was a one bedroom but I really liked it! So much to consider....See More- 5 years agolast modified: 5 years ago
