Have you ever had a sport that is just a different size?
Comments (8)I agree with Shade Tolerant, whack the Eiffel Tower division out and plant it separately. You won't be able to determine if it's really a larger sport for several years, but there is no point in being annoyed every time you look at an uneven plant. While you are doing the requisite surgery, take the time to completely untangle and separate all the roots if you haven't already done so. This can be quite a job with a badly pot bound hosta, but it's well worth the time. Even if you have to cut off a few roots, or quite a few roots, get the entire root ball separated and fanned out before putting both divisions back in the ground. Unless you do this, a pot bound hosta can remain stunted for years. When I buy a seriously root bound hosta and it proves impossible to untangle and separate the roots, I take a serrated knife and cut straight down between divisions to divide the plant, roots and all, into smaller sections. If I still can't untangle the roots, I cut it into smaller sections. Think of it as cutting a really tall pie into wedges. A hosta will do better with this treatment than if left with tangled roots. Once you can untangle all the roots, you can either plant those pieces out or cut them into smaller sections if there is enough root growth to support the divisions....See MoreThe best oysters ever. Period.
Comments (8)Wellfleets have been my local oysters for many years and I like them very much. They have a good briny flavor. Lately, oysters have started to be cultured in several other Cape Cod towns including my own and, being from essentially the same waters, they are all pretty much like Wellfleets. Cultivated oysters are nice because they have a more uniform shape and size. Another oyster I like very much is the Belon from Maine. They were originally from France. They are round, not elongated, so you get a well filled shell. I have enjoyed many an Apalachicola oyster but the ones from Northern waters are my favorites. I am sure those PEI oysters you had were delicious. Jim This post was edited by jimster on Fri, Dec 28, 12 at 16:00...See MoreDo you ever wish you had a facelift instead of a new kitchen?
Comments (46)I think some opinions about facelift etc are relative to aging. I know friends and even myself who scorned the idea/vanity of cosmetic/plastice surgery in our younger years. However, as things begin to sag, some of us (not all of us but certainly myself) began to reconsider. Then it becomes a matter of priorities and money. When I see the need of new hardwood floors, driveway, basement remodeling, etc in my future, it's hard to prioritize something that would make me happy (plastic surgery - and why is it called plastic?) vs something that might improve the value of my home as I near retirement. I personally think a facelift/eyelift would be more gratifying than a new driveway! (but obviously didn't think the same about a new kitchen though I did have some regrets). However, I didn't mean to get serious and am glad a couple of folks had a good laugh!...See MoreHave you ever had a tree branch fall on your house?
Comments (27)I have never had property damage due to falling trees. However when we lived in Wilmington NC we had three hurricanes in a couple of months, The worst was Fran. In those storms we lost 30 trees on our 0.6 acre lot, ranging from mature saplings to one white pine that was about 30" at the base. All of those trees fell parallel to the front and back of the house. The only damage we received was an inch tear in one of the screens. Our whole neighborhood of about 70 house was equally lucky, a lot of trees were lost but like ours most fell parallel to the houses, Of the neighborhood only 3 or 4 took damage....See Moreceleste_meno
