Consistently cane hardy HTs/floris in zone 5
Comments (39)Ratdogheads - my Henri Matisse stays between around 3-4 feet in a mostly sunny spot, but might be a little larger in a full hot sun location. Suffice to say that planting it behind my Champagne Moment was not one of my brighter ideas, and it involves some judicious pruning to make both of them visible. Redwolfdoc - welcome to the fun of rose growing, and always feel free to start a new thread on a topic where it might get more response. I checked the website HelpMeFind, a TERRIFIC website for roses and well worth the optional membership fee, to look up Blue Angel. Both the regular and climbing versions of Blue Angel appear to be on the edge of reported hardiness for our zone, but those are default ratings so not anything to discourage you. If that rose has survived your winters, that's already a good start. Blue Angel cl. is reported to only bloom on old wood, which means that it won't bloom well if it has to regrow from dying back to its roots or graft each year, which is typical of some types of climbers that survive but don't thrive in our zones. Still, 3 seasons is still way too soon to make a judgment about a climber. They tend to spend more time than non-climbing forms in putting down roots and preparing to make their moves, so if it grows some or is at least green and healthy-looking in the active seasons, you might give it some more time. In my world, alfalfa hay or pellets is always a good thing to add to a rose to boost its production a bit in spring. To give you perspective, my Madame Isaac Periere - that is definitely hardy in my zone - was unexciting and unremarkable for 3-4 years while it was putting down roots. Then last spring in its fifth (?) year, it absolutely ate up every rose near it and was stunning in the spring. There's a standard rose wisdom that for roses, first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. For climbers, you have to give them another year or two of creeping or sleeping before you get leap years. Hope this helps, and welcome to GW! Cynthia...See MoreStool consistency
Comments (3)The color and consistency of bowel movements will vary. If you have no other problems with the baby, relax. Sometimes a BM can be green too, and sometimes it can smell quite acidic and even burn their bottoms. A friend's 2 or 3 weeks old baby was not eating well and she had the weekend to turn it around or the doctor was going to hospitalize him. He had not done well at all with cow milk formula and formula substitutes, so she called me for help. So I suggested that she eliminate all dairy from her diet as he was so sensitive to it and try breastfeeding him only. We had lots of phone calls across country that weekend as I tried to teach her how to breastfeed via the phone. On Monday, the doctor could not believe the improvement in her son. I learned only after he was weened that she could not give up butter, and so he needed medication to relieve the intestinal cramps from her love of butter. Babies can definitely be sensitive to foods in mom's diet....See MoreOpen concept with varying ceiling height and no upper cabinet wall
Comments (3)Thanks would love to hear from a professional kitchen designer on cost and feasibility. I have so many doubts that this would ever look like anything but a bad diy project...See MoreVarying cabinet sizes, leading to differ counter-to-cabinet workspace?
Comments (2)Finished countertop should be 36", From there 18" to bottom of uppers totaling 54" to the bottom. No cabinet should be hung lower. If you don't want a space between the uppers and ceiling, take the cabinets to the ceiling or fill in with crown. Have you gotten a bid from a local cabinetmaker for your kitchen? They will be able to make the uppers the correct size for your situation. You may be surprised that a good many are very competitive with box store prices when you add up all the extras...See MoreMaryLou Wu
