Two-thirds of CA's plants face extinction
Q
Comments (24)
Although 2/3 of CA plants may be facing extinction, only a handful are actually listed as endangered or threatened by the State or Federal government. That leaves a lot of rare plants that an be legally handled by any of us, and most of those will grow in a garden pretty easily as long as the proper conditions are provided. Anyone worried about the extinction of native plants should try to have at least a portion of the yard in natives. One of the main reasons that plants are threatened with extinction is that development (urban/suburban, agricultural, highways) has created barriers to the spread of native plants. As climate changes either due to man's actions or natural causes, plants have always migrated north, south, upslope, inland, or whatever, staying within a climate that they can tolerate. But now as natural habitats become fragmented by cities, farms, highways, or other places unsuitable to native plants, the natives (at least some of them) can't spread into new areas and may simply die out as climate or other conditions change. If we all had even a little bit of native vegetation in our yards, we might create stepping stones for natives to move through cities and suburbs as climate shifts. Your small patch of native vegetation may be just a tiny start toward helping native plants, but most development takes place in small steps too, and look how successful that has been.

Sunflower pawpaw made it through it's third winter!
Q
Comments (4)
I only planted one, since "Sunflower" is supposed to be a self-fertile cultivar. However, I did add two pawpaw seedlings to my order from Reeseville Ridge Nursery out of Wisconsin this spring just to see how they'll do and because they were only a few dollars each. Right now it's about 1.5 ft tall, so it's added about 10" since it was planted. The first year it only added an inch or two, but last year took off pretty well. I'm hoping it adds as much if not more this year as the root system becomes really established.

Wow you guys thanks so much! I would like to thank you all for making me, a kid, feel welcome on this adult forum. It really means a lot to me. You all have given me such good advice and I appreciate it so much. Maybe I will start up again one day but for now I will just keep what I have. Laura, your plumeria is doing great. My foxtail palm (which I planted nearly a year ago) is just now making its first leaves. Haha I didnt think they were that slow haha. My needle is planted in the ground and I will see what will happen to it this winter. Hopefully it will survive. But again thanks for helping me and making me feel welcome here. You are all very good people and I wish you all good luck on your plants. :) Thank you all. -Hunter

New Construction HVAC Question
Q
Comments (5)
OK, after doing some more research I think I may have answered my own question! Would like some confirmation from the experts here though. Read that each ton is about 400cfm and that a 16in flex duct is only rated for 850cfm. So that would make the third companies solution a bad idea! Please tell me if I am understanding this right? Also, I am looking at buying a Goodman two stage 16 SEER 3 ton unit. The model numbers are: Condenser Model No. DSZC160361 Air Handler Model No. AVPTC313714 I have read opinions of Goodman and I would buy a different brand but at this point money is a big factor. Anyway, is it worth it to get the Comfortnet thermostat or would a White Rodgers model # 1f95-1291 work just as well? Also, is there a performance benefit to the remote outdoor sensor or is it just to display the outdoor temp? Thanks for all the help!

Welcome to Illinois -- although where you are is more like The South than where I am up west of Lake Michigan. (As is witnessed by the Confederate monument you posted.)

Hang on, you're almost to the Mighty Mississippi!

I'd love to see you and offer you a place to stay. I'm on the Mississippi river and also the Trail of Tears-New Madrid.

Wish I had known you were in Oak Ridge. I grew up there and now live 30 min. away. I could have pointed you in the direction of lots of interesting things, if you were in the need for such. The city has quite a history of involvement with the atomic bomb that was instrumental in ending WW2. It is known as the "Secret City". It's too bad that more of it's history isn't taught in history classes. Did you enjoy the museum?

Tae, I did not go to the museum. I took the time for some pampering of myself. Mel went. He wanted to do this detour.
