fruitmaven. heres a few others type might be worth checking against your favourite, the golden queen ,was found growing in a field of cuthbert raspberries a long long time ago that can get a pinky orange tinge, berries are smaller than newer types,but what was most intresting was the flavour you described, very similar to the golden queen i find the golden queen very weak and spindly growth with masses of suckers being thrown up close to the base of the original plant, but when you take invidual canes up and pot them on the individual new canes show impressive growth and cane thickness, a variety that needs a bit more work and time, but like most things worth the extra effort a few others are ARNOLDS ORANGE (dark orange coloured) CAROLINE (buff yellow) SUMMIT YELLOW CAP (pinky yellow/white) BRINKLES ORANGE (yellow/orange) COL WILDER (creamy yellow white) MAGNUM BONUM (yellow) MERVILLE DE QUATRE SAISONS (yellow) YELLOW CHILLI (pale yellow) COXS HONEY (white) MRS INGERSOLL (yellow) MRS WILDER (Yellow) kind regards

Greetings folks. I have a ritual but I'm getting too old and tired to continue it. Every year I strip off the discolored top layer of my Brazilian Cherry (Massaranduba) hardwood deck and refinish it. I had the misguided notion that it would last forever and be low maintenance. It may last forever but it is far from low maintenance. I have come to view it as a very expensive mistake. I have tried many different coatings but always with the same result. The beautiful cherry color soon turns to a drab brown and stays that way until I get the time and energy to start the process again. The unshaded northern exposure in the northeastern U.S invariably takes its toll. Currently I power wash the deck at pressures that would tear up a pine deck and apply a different coating in the hope that this year will be different. I have tried CWF, that was bad. For a few years I was using Penofin Marine Wood Oil. In my desperation I confess that I smuggled it into my state. Then for a few years I mixed my own; a concoction of Boiled Linseed Oil, Turpentine and Paraffin or Varnish. All because I wanted to try preserve the appearance of the natural wood. Now I am starting to consider what was previously unthinkable: a solid stain. There I said it. I know this is a very 1st world problem and you would within your rights to laugh at my perceived problem but if you have a opinion of what I should do, I'd like to hear it. Solid stain or something that I haven't tried? Thank you.

Robo, that's hilarious. And how did the screen hold up? Not sold on a purple door in my future. I now look at every front door of every house I pass, which means I drive down some neighborhood streets like a little old lady who wears nothing but purple. :) The older neighborhoods with the cute cottages and bungalows are just a treasure trove of fantastic doors. I want black hardware. Is that so wrong?

No, in the end I went with Prime ocean retreat lvp at $6.50 sq ft installed. The coretec series was either out of stock or much more money in the end. My local flooring guy recommended the Prime...It came out ok. I’m not 100% happy with the install - I made them come back and fix a couple of things and then just made my peace with it. For example you can see a strip separating the hall from the bathroom because for it to be seamless he would have had to shim to compensate for a slight level difference - and personally I think that would have led to a slope and spongy feel. At any rate it’s better than what we had! It was 8k installed for around 900 sq ft including a bunch of mounding
