Black Mondo Grass disappointment
Comments (9)It is one of the slowest growing plants at our place. Here's what I do to encourage the best growth -- give it what it prefers moist soil in part to full sun. Mulch 2x a year with compost & water during dry spells. Leave the flowers & seeds to self sow though I've not seen seedlings probably because of the mulch I add. Earlier this year we moved golden creeping Jenny, Lysimachia nummularia �Aurea� under & around the Black Mondo for contrast. I plan to keep an eye on it to make sure the grass isn't over run with it.

Comments (204)@Ronnie Hossain Pella was sued and settled the case for Pella ProLine casement, awning, or transom window which were manufactured between January 1, 1991, and December 31, 2009 (“Pella ProLine Casement Window”) As @millworkman said, most issues people having is improper installation, and for every complaint, we address when it comes to newly installed windows or doors or anything else for that matter 90% of the issues are related to improper installation or flashing applications, etc. Not sure what happened in your case since you didn't say what issues you experienced yes some company representatives do try to point the arrows at the installers but most of the time they're right because not many follow the manufacturer's guidelines and not only when it comes to windows I see that with backer board installations, with composite decking installations, etc. That being said, I'm not defending Pella window manufacturer, I never used Pella and never suggested using them, just telling you based on my general experience... If you take the best product out there and you do not follow the manufacturer's minimum installation requirements there will be issues. Good luck...See MoreOrange/rust bricks w/black specs, black windows - help on trim pl
Comments (15)NewHB: Thanks!! The flowers and herbs (both in pots and in the garden) have actually managed to stay alive this year -- thanks to slightly cooler (and now chilly! LOL!) temperatures around Dallas! The silk flowers in the large half-basket have been replaced with fall ones -- always a nice change! Of course the front door area is now filled with spooky Halloween decor! LOL!...See MorePella Proline Black Exterior Window/ White Interior Window - Help!!!
Comments (34)do you have window coverings? And do you love them? What brand did you go with? House looks great. I read the link someone posted and brought up the black interior and decorating. I was thinking of just doing all black in the living areas and black out with white inside in the sleeping areas. Thanks for the quick response! :) Would love to see more pics of your house. Any idea what your exterior brand and color are?...See MoreMarla
