Does anyone leave their potted citrus out in these temps? 40's
Comments (9)Hey Josh, Your so right for saying that people shouldn't think that they can put plants out early just because of an early spring! For me, each spring is diffrent. It usually isn't this early, but then again, they were only out for a few weeks. Now that I have well over 100 potted tropicals, I just have to decide if I want to move all those pots in and out all spring! I also found that my citrus could handle a light frost. Like I mention in my post a few weeks back, I left 2 mango trees, and 5 citrus outdoors...that morning, I noticed frost on the grass. I had about a 30 sec. panic attack! I flew out the door, and I could all ready see the damage. The citrus didn't suffer at all. The buds, and flowers didn't drop, in fact, only 2 new branches were damaged. The temps that morning was around 30 degrees. I am having trouble right now because I didn't repot my citrus and the poor roots have been exposed to the wet wood shavings. I am hoping to have them repotted in a few days. Only my 'kishu' looks bad, but right now all that has happened is leaf drop. My 600 watt HPS dried the soil out in about 4 days...that's pretty bad.

Comments (13)lazygardens, I dunno. I did go up in the attic for the very first time since buying this house, and I remembered to wear old clothes, brought a drop-light with a 50' cord, and a flashlight in case I dropped the drop-light. I didn't think to bring the camera. Poop. I just can't tell if the porch/breakfast room was added on. I don't know how a roof peak generally looks as it comes into one the oposite direction. There were some jagged boards... seems if the peak was original they'd not have had a problem with trimming it - but if it was an add-on maybe they felt cramped and skipped trimming? Still, dunno. Will take pictures. Link to my album is above, it shows front of house from two angles. As for ceiling lights or not, I just don't know. ALL of the downstair ceilings are covered with 12" squares of lightly-textured white stuff that tongue-and-grooves together. Hate to monkey with it as it's in good shape. Hey! When I was in the attic I did find out one thing, all of my ceilings are beadboard under the white squares! ha! Who knew? I wish some of that showed! Hmmmm, that'd be great in the kitchen, give it a real warm feel. I wonder though if it'd let dust filter down? Gag. Back to the lighting, hostaguy, is the lightbox sort of an endtable? Surely it's not a center hung fixture? Maybe I'm picturing something way too large? I've been looking at a LOT of light fixtures in the past few days - and I keep being drawn to the Mission and Arts & Crafts styles. I don't see why I can't make something wonderful, perhaps a silhouette cut of copper, mica underneath? Maybe a spray of pine cones? I am still strongly thinking of a colonnade with lighting built-in across the top to throw a glow across the ceilings of both rooms. Sigh, so many ideas and life so short.

Comments (11)Mary 1956, whoever said that there is something wrong with you because it bothers you that your husband's ex-wife is included in his family in a way you aren't has obviously never experienced this kind of hurtful treatment. I have! I am not sure why people act as they do, but a friend of mine told me that many people just don't have the ability to think about other people's feelings like "we" do. I am not sure I agree, but I do see it on a daily basis. Why your husband's ex-wife doesn't see how inappropriate her attendance at his family functions is eludes me. My guess is that she doesn't give a rat's a__ about your husband or you. She must not have any pride. Maybe she does it to hurt your husband and you. Even if your husband says something to his family, it may not help. I am in almost the identical situation, and although my husband and I haven't been married for as long as you, his ex-wife attends many of his families events. To make matters worse, she had an affair that ended their relationship about 15 years ago, and his family seems to not care. She has driven a wedge between him and his kids, and they don't seem to care about that either. And she has done everything she can to prevent me from having a relationship with his adult kids, and for some reason these kids just allow themselves to be manipulated. I hate to say this, but there is probably not much you can do about the situation unless your husband can influence his family. In my mind, they shouldn't have to understand why it bother's you, they should just accept that it does, that YOU are part of the family, and that they should make things comfortable for YOU. Good luck and let us know how things work out!...See MoreAnyone have almost fainting spells in pregnancy?
Comments (25)Well, I've never been pregnant past the first trimester, and it's been eons since the last time I was pregnant (I was spayed in '91), so I'm no help there... But, I have fainted several times. And always in church. The last time was when I was in high school (and that was last Century!). I am Catholic, and my fainting in church was a direct result of not being able to eat anything before taking Communion. And we always seemed to go to 11:00 or noon Mass, so I would have been without food since an evening snack the night before. I would think that your not having eaten anything before these almost-fainting spells would be a strong factor....See Moreshehla
