last monthlast modified: last monthI didn't bring many brand new seedlings to Indiana, although I had some really pretty ones last year. These are the two new ones I brought with me.
Roaring Rapids X Razor Sharp - I thought the intense mulberry petal color was unique among toothed daylilies. And the nice sharp teeth were snow white. Most of my toothy seedlings over the years have had cream and gold teeth.
Born to Reign X (Mayans Dawn X The Ultimate Sacrifice) - I brought this one because of its good plant habit. It was tall, well-branched and had 13 buds in its first year to bloom, even though it was planted in part shade. The edge got better in hotter temps, but I didn't get anymore photos of it.

New House and New Seedling Setup!
Comments (11)My plants for the most part seem to be growing very slow over the last seven days, that's since I made this and since I moved the lights down (leaves are brushing the lights slightly on a few). I have the light a little higher on one side and a little lower on the other and arranged hte plants by heigth so I could keep it close. I know they've been too far away and most are now leggy. I did find the old packaging for the bulbs and realized to my dismay that they were 2000 lumien neutral bulbs, not the 6500 lumien bulbs I had thought I got. I switched a set of those in two days ago and haven't' seen marked improvement. I actually have two sets of lights now and am going to use the 6500 x2 lumens on the seed starts then move the largest plants/ my house plants to the next shelf with the 2000 lumen and 1-2 hours of sunlight through the window. I'm using 'black gold seedling mix' from my local nursery and the ones I can see the roots on seem to be doing well. I'm moving some of them out of their little containers into plastic cups with drainholes and burying them deeper (the tomatoes/tomitillos) but I don't believe this is safe to do on peppers? The room itself is at about 70-80 degrees. I'm thoroughly watering them every 2-3 days, until he top feels dryish but not crusty but its still a little damp under it. I don't let them stay soggy and I remove any excess water out of the drip tray. These plants are about 3 weeks old now, is 2-3 inchs tall with 1-2 sets of true leaves where they should be or should they be much bigger by now? I'm not in a rush, I just wonder where they should be. Should I use fertilizer or will the nutriatns in my Black Gold mix suffice? How can I check for any damping off? I don't see any growth around the stems though a few seem to be burning since I have them to close to the light. I'm about to start another set of peppers and tomatoes, different varieties and growing a few starts for co-workers. I plan to use the seedling heating mat I have to germinate them then keep them super close to the Daylight bulbs I bought (with 3x the lumiens as the ones I grew this batch with). Will I see marked improvement? In Addition - I would like to grow inside during this coming winter, what could I grow inside well in a indirect light window and grow lights? Will my T8 6500L bulbs be sufficient for things like herbs and lettuces?...See MoreNew Wolf induction ranges coming in 2025
Comments (15)If you do an search for the key word 'back-guard' and/or 'riser' on this site, or via an external search engine including the phrase 'site:gardenweb.com' you should find a lot of discussion on this topic. It usually starts by someone complaining that their quartz back-splash is burned and cracked. I assume that the Wolf induction ranges have electric ovens (else the dual 50A wouldn't make sense). Self cleaning and/or high temperature cooking will send hot air up the back of many ovens. I have no information w.r.t. how the Wolf is designed, but my guess is that the stand-off distance asserted by Wolf comes from the IMC, section 308. Normally, manufacturers determine the actual risk to combustibles as a function of distance and let UL approve whatever instructions pass analysis and testing. Right now, this test may not have been done so the worst case has been incorporated into the drawings. Back-guards allow ranges to butt up to the wall because the ranges with back-guards meet IMC 308 due to their design, which provides an air-gapped volume with cooler air entering from below to moderate the rising heat from the oven. Alternatively, you would only have to rip out the wall in the shaded area of the Wolf drawing and replace the studs. Normal sheetrock (gypsum) walboard is also considered combustible, so some other material would be used between your studs and the wall surface material, stone, tile, or metal. A picky code enforcement officer would also object to sheet rock or a hanging painting on the other side of the wall. Most people are unaware of the code, and so are a lot of inspectors. Nothing happens for years until the studs have turned into barely bonded pyrolyzed wood and possibly ignite when there is enough heat. I consider the risk to be a distant one, but there are so many variables that codes are established to reduce the risk from the worst cases. As an inspector once said to me, "the purpose of Code Enforcement is to take jobs from lawyers." He was referring to the lawyers working for insurance companies who assign all fire damage blame to failure to follow installation instructions.

Comments (7)sktn77a 20 hours ago "Three years after the compliance date (2025)." That would make it roughly 2028? sktn77a that foot note you're reading doesn't apply to this section. There's more phase out parameters than just HVAC split systems. That's why they have that small little 1 foot note to refer you to the section in which it applies. This is why I told you to be careful reading it. ------------------- costs are going up *but with caveats* ... it depends on the situation, as some installs will be more difficult than others to comply with codes / requirements etc. As a somewhat elaborate example: you have an older system you decide to repair (evap coil leaks) you replace the evaporator coil to fix the leak(s) -- refrigerant leaks. R410a or R22. Something happens to condenser? Depending on a plethora of other conditions it makes more sense to replace condenser? Well if you can not get R410a condenser (sold out or past Jan 1, 2026) then to switch to different refrigerant (R32 or R454b) the evap coil that you just changed will have to be changed again to a more or less compliant new refrigerant coil. So under these kinds of parameters easily a 30% cost disparity. If you buy it now and don't really need it? easily a 30% cost disparity. If you need it buy it now and then sell the house? easily a 30% cost disparity although it may help you sell the house? All of it tied to $MONEY$ (HVAC isn't a one size fits all market, never has been... and what I mention here is only tip of the proverbial ice berg.) Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Comments (30)I just realized I didn't post a photo of Royal Invitation, which is one of the best Emmerichs I grow. It's a great multiplier and rebloomer and was taller for me than registered. I didn't get a photo of it last year, but here are a couple from previous seasons. Sometimes it's toothy, and sometimes it's not. In cool temps it has mostly a white edge, and in high heat the edge is cream and gold. Royal Invitation Royal Invitation clump I got some dynamite kids from it, which unfortunately got left behind. I'll have to duplicate the cross here. Royal Invitation X (Razor Sharp X Spacecoast Night Vision) Debra...See MoreRelated Professionals

last monthDebra, I like both of your seedlings, but especially the first one. Brad, your Prairie Blue Eyes seedlings are both very pretty.
I guess I need to define 'new seedlings'. These are ones that are still in the seedling beds. They have not yet been culled and moved to a select bed. I don't know the stats since we don't take stats until we move them.
This is one of Bob's fulva seedlings. It is a first year flower. It is (F. K. X Empire of Dawn and Dusk) X (Small World Fire in the Hole X Stoke the Fire).
This seedling is probably a first or second year bloomer. It is Bucky Beaver X Samsational.
This is probably Deadliest Catch X (Sonoran Desert Rose X Wandering Werribee). I hope it gets over its splotchiness.
This is Deadliest Catch X Deliquent Doll. I wanted to get it moved last season, but we ran out of time.
This is Fox Lake Ziconic X (Weasel Teeth X Wolverine X On Your Knees You Will Find Him)). It got the big eye from the pod parent.
This is a first year bloom. It is Gopher Stripes X Panning for Gold. This came from purchased seed.
Here is another I meant to move last season. It is Hey Soul Sister X Snidely Whiplash.
I am not sure about the parentage of this one. It is either Last Man Standing X Pastor Z or Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding X Terrorsaur. I suspect it's the latter.
I don't think this one is introduction worthy, but it is interesting because it is one of the first bloomers in the garden. It is Lava Flow X (Philistine Champion X Small World Fire in the Hole).
I like the intense colors of Pineapple Bites X Ashwood Inferno.
More to come . . .- last month
Here are the diploids.
Galaxy Explosion X Pixie Dragon
We have gotten many stippled small diploids from crossing yellows with red. This is Itsy Bitsy Spider X O Positive.
Out of Balance X Odell
Sioux Hall X A Little Crabby
Both of these seedlings are from the same parents, Sioux Hall X Perry and His Harem, a cross between a 3.5 inch flower with a 7 inch flower. Some of the seedlings are small and some large.
This flower was small but looks more like Perry and His Harem.
This sibling is large and looks more like Sioux Hall.
This seedling is what we call an 'aisle baby'. It was found growing in the aisle in front of Green Arrow. We believe it is a seedling from Galaxy Explosion, which is down the row a bit.
That's all of the diploids.Nancy
