Comments (20)Hi Nick, Yep! At Baker's...mine was a just $20 pipsqueak, but with all this continuing warm weather, he's already grown quite a lot and is continuing to sprout new leaves! And he's a gorgeous deep green, even without the flowers! I think he's very happy in his very sunny, warm spot in my southern exposure backyard. As for my location, I'm in the Coronado Historic District, not far from Good Sam hospital. Having been to Encanto Palmcroft for the annual home tours (i.e. I know where it is!), I feel it's safe to say you'd have as good a chance as I would for success! Perhaps it's the heat-island effect, the lack of elevation, proximity to the airport, but whatever the cause, it's generally warmer here during frosts than elsewhere in the valley. Still, I'm going to baby it each winter for a while...covering it during frosts, or even putting some old-style christmas lights around its base if needed. I think an important thing to consider is where in your yard you should plant it. You can't really take advantage of garnering tons of radiant heat by planting it right next to the house, because it's a very lateral-oriented tree, and will need room to spread. I opted for roughly the middle of my backyard because it gets full sun in the winter (south exposure), and I've got rocks back there that reflect the heat pretty well. Of course there's mulching, too. Hope that helps...keep us posted! Assuming yours is only $20 like mine, I think it's definitely worth a try! PS. Not sure if now is the best time to plant it; or whether it's best to wait till spring at this point(keeping it in a container in the meantime so you can bring indoors if it gets frosty?). My concern with planting it right now is that if we get a sudden cold snap right after transplanting- that may cause some issues? I invite others to chime in if I'm wrong, but it might be better to actually plant it in spring? Hmmmmm......See MoreRoyal Watchers
Comments (109)Her being bi-racial is a non-event in the UK. It may become more so if their progeny end up being far darker than Meghan, something that can happen. But in the UK, race is just not the issues it can still be in the US. Harry is a VERY wealthy young man, worth between 25 and 40 million pounds! Diana got 17.5 million pounds in her divorce. Sarah Ferguson, like Diana, lost the HRH part of her title, but is still a Duchess - so would Meghan be if she and Harry divorced. This is a no-lose situation for Meghan; Harry could lose a LOT of money if it doesn't work out. I have no idea if Meghan is "using" Harry or if he is using her. They probably don't either, as they are in the throes of love/hormones singing to each other. But if the marriage ends, it will be Meghan who is the winner for certain....See MoreRoyal Wedding, who will walk her down the aisle now?
Comments (64)I suppose that asking Prince Charles, would be a bonding gesture towards her soon to be father in law, and a tribute to the royal family in general. It's not protocol to have a family member of the groom's side, escort the bride up the aisle, so as Oakley said, Meghan's mother may have suggested it, once she learned her ex-husband would't be able to do it. Aside from being her father in law, and grandfather to any future children, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Charles will likely be the next King of England. Someday if her future children ask who walked her up the aisle, she'll be answering "the King." By the way, I think they should say 'walking up the aisle' when the bride is walking towards her bridegroom, and 'walking down the aisle' when the married couple are heading towards the doors, to leave the church, IMHO....See MoreIt’s like a miracle...
Comments (29)Vinnmarks......I think that’s a spin down filter....does it look something like this clear one? We had two of those and they barely worked (lots of sediment still came through) and it needed flushing all the time which is why my water guy recommended the Big Blues. Those toilet tank pics were when we had the spin down filters. I hate maintenance so the the less I have to fool with things the better :)...See Morepalimpsest
