back on the replant issue - might be a dimwit
Comments (11)There is some evidence that rose roots do give off a growth inhibitor. Title: Growth inhibitor accumulates in the nutrient solution of closed system rose cultivation. Author: Sato, N. Authors affiliation: Shizuoka Agricultural Experiment Station, 678-1 Tomioka, Shizuoka, Iwata, Japan. Published in: Acta Horticulturae (2005), 697(Proceedings of the International Symposium on Soilless Culture and Hydroponics, 2004), pages 511-516. Abstract: "The circulating soln. was collected and analyzed for its nutrient concn. Three types of solns. were prepd. for the bioassay. One was the circulating nutrients soln. Activated charcoal was added to second soln. The third soln. was prepd. to the analyzed formula of nutrients soln. using distd. water. The rooted cuttings of rose were planted in each soln. and incubated in the growth chamber. The rate of change of fresh wt. before and after the incubation was biggest for the prepd. soln., which does not include the circulating soln. The fresh wt. growth rate was smallest for the circulating soln., and the results for the activated charcoal treatment was between them. Since the activated charcoal does not have a sterilization effect, it is possible that the growth inhibitors accumulated in the soln. during the circulating cultivation of roses.

Comments (12)Julie, I have read about your garden in your father's memory. No, I did not have a garden in Mother's memory. She loved to garden, and I inherited that from her. She would have dearly loved this plant being named for her. It's name is Remembering Elizabeth. Tom Owens at Slighty Different Nursery offer a selection of daylilies which you buy and get the entire supply of, and you get to name it. You are actually listed as co-hybridizer with Tom. I loved the idea, and picked out this one for her. My dad died in February of this year, but Mother had died in 2001. I received a letter from Dad's hospice this week, reminding me that you do not get over a loved ones death, that they are always with you. You begin to have good days, and the good days become more frequent. In a three year period, I lost my son (32), my mother, and my brother. Survival for me was simply beliving I knew that God was in charge, and He knew what He was doing, even if I didn't. Also remembering the good times helped. I am so sorry for the pain your father's death has caused you. I will remember you in my prayers. And I think your garden is a wonderful thing. kay...See MoreFirst photo attempt - Piedmont Gold
Comments (14)Thanks, Phil and Dot. I'm surprised you're getting snow in Zone 7, Dot. From the perspective of Zone 4, Zone 7 seems like the tropics. Ken, I had actually tried to follow Caliloo's instructions for downloading pictures using the TAG line that had been posted on the forum, but wasn't able to get it to work. I don't know if Photobucket has changed its page set-up or if I'm just e-impaired. The Thumbnail section of the instructions worked for me. When I have a little time, I'll try once again. I've never joined a forum of any kind in the past. This is really fun. I signed up on Hallson's forum also. I also joined the local hosta society this year. I began keeping records of when I planted each of my hostas, where I got them, how they're doing, etc. Now I see that I better be counting eyes and measuring, too. It's funny how something like hostas can just grab you. This happened about 15 years ago with sailing, too. My two great passions in life. Hope to talk to you all again soon.

Comments (29)malhgold, Thanks again for your excellent input. I'll answer your questions. Yes, I do have a big walk-in pantry in my current kitchen and yes, it houses many items that are not kitchen related because I have very inadequate storage in my home. BUT the good news is that in this remodel/addition, I'll have another storage area for non-kitchen items so the walk-in pantry in the new plan will contain only kitchen items. Yes, I already made a list of everything I want to include in the kitchen and plugged it into the old plan (#3)and I will work on plugging it into the corner cooktop plan today. I did a quick calculation and looks like I'd be losing approx 69" (5.75') of cabinet space with corner cooktop but the good news is that it would save $$$ in cabinet costs which would be extremely helpful right now! :) cheri127, I've already been drawn into the black hole of kitchen design minutiae (smile) and YES, I do believe perimenopause makes one indecisive (I'm there, too). We decided on this kitchen addition/remodel in May and the foundation was poured this week so I'm having to make decisions very, very quickly which goes against my analytical nature but could be a blessing in disguise if I don't make major mistakes along the way. Thanks for helping me think it through! Any other input on pros and cons is welcome!...See Morerosaprimula
