How many bull frogs are too many???
Comments (23)By its own admission it appears that 'dirtslinger' has done exactly what it accused me of doing,__ introducing non native species. (http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/ponds/msg0322262730946.html) posted March 30, 2009 In reply of Mar 31, 09 at 11:03 it states: "These are not turtles found in this area- I really doubt in the wild they hibernate for 6+ months." Then take a look at thisabout the 'Red-eared slider' from Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-eared_slider) "It is a native of the southern United States, but has become common in various areas of the world due to the pet trade." And in the paragraph 'U.S. State Law': "Some states have other laws and regulations regarding possession of red-eared slider because they can be an invasive species_______". And as far as "Please stop spreading bullfrogs around!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullfrog "The American Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), often simply known as the Bullfrog in the United States, is an aquatic frog, a member of the family Ranidae, or "true frogs", native to much of North America."...See MoreHow many trees are too many?
Comments (17)Hi. I live in a new development. The only trees are along the old fence rows that once stood between cotton fields. Our lot was a bare 1 acre. I planted saplings/whips to save money and enjoy the growth. Here's what I have, and I'm pretty much at the limit. I have a septic system and had to leave that spot bare. Red Maple 4 Dawn Redwood 4 Bald Cypress 2 Weeping Willow 1 Sourwood 1 Crabapple 2 Washington Hawthorne 2 Giant Sequoia 1 (just an experiment, lol) Loblolly Pine 2 Smoketree 1 American Hazelnut 5 Cherry (3 varities, dwarf) 3 Apple (2 varieties, dwarf) 5 Pussy Willow 3 Mock Orange 3 Wiegelia 3 Azela 6 Norway Spruce 3 American Arborvite (as screens) 9 I don't expect the Spruce to make it and may pull them. We're in a rural area with no sidewalks, and shallow drainage ditches (hence the willow and cypress near spots often too wet). It looks a little odd now, since they are all rather small. Only the Norway Spruce are in danger of crowding, so I'll probably remove all but one watch how it does with the heat for the next few years. I hope I inspire others to plant the development. I will remain responsible with limbs, tree health, leaves, etc. That's the key when having a suburban forest, at least in my opinon....See MoreToo many cats on Spicebush?
Comments (3)They'll both be defoliated, and the caterpillars still won't get enough to eat, even if the leaves are big, like they might be in the shade. Do you know where some sassafras grows in your area? They use sassafras here, spicebush isn't native (well, except a rare type that grows in a few bogs) and when I feed sassafras to the caterpillars that I've found on my one little spicebush, they don't seem to know the difference. The two plants are closely related, and the chemical makeup of the leaves must be identical or nearly so. If you want to raise your caterpillars yourself, you could just feed them (washed) sassafras leaves from wild trees. Or, you could cut off the leaf the cats are on and attach it with a clothes pin to a sassafras tree. You could leave one caterpillar on one of the spicebushes. One caterpillar probably won't damage the bushes too much. Of course, if you leave any of them to raise itself, there's a strong possibility they'll be eaten by predators or used by a parasitic wasp. That's why I raise caterpillars myself. Good luck! Sherry...See MoreHow many textures is too many textures?
Comments (9)Sometimes one space isn't big enough to fit all of our ideas. Save some for your next house. :-) It's important for us to know if the floor is going to change or you're keeping it. I am having trouble envisioning that shade of green with that floor, and adding marble and brick would be too much for my taste. I think marble and/or brick is only going to work if the floor is changed. It is pretty busy on its own. I also don't see why you need to paint all of the cabinetry in the adjacent rooms if you paint the kitchen cabinets. If you're still planning on moving in the not too distant future I would just replace the counter, but not with marble, something calmer, because the floor is making a statement. If you aren't planning on moving at all for quite a while then I guess there's no reason not to go crazy with what you like, but think on it for a while before jumping into anything. Painting cabinets is a lot of work when you do it right....See Morespiritual_gardner
