This will give you an idea of how my plants have done Appletree. This is two years after planting a 10 inch start. I'm not sure there is a "best way" to grow blues, even experts have a wide range on what's "best". Some say only pots, others say ammending the soil with sulfur and wait for ph to adjust, others add peat and pine, etc. I have been growing blues for about 8 years and have tried several approaches, most worked. The one big mistake I made was buying some older plants and I never could get most to grow. The best luck I have had has been with healthy young plants. Your plants are gonna do great. Did you say you are a biologist? I am too and that's why I asked. This post was edited by riverman1 on Fri, Apr 4, 14 at 11:03

The other day my tv stopped accepting any commands from the remote control. Thinking it was the remote, I tried using the buttons on the tv with no results either. So I shut the tv off via the cable box. When I went to turn it back on, it would not power up. At that point, I unplugged it and let it sit overnight. The next morning the tv turned back on but after a few minutes, it won't respond again. Any thoughts to my issue?? Thanks in advance

It's funny because this is our 3rd house, 2nd major kitchen renovation, and 2nd major renovation in this house, but we still have quite a few firsts... This will be my first major renovation with GardenWeb's help, which I am really excited about. I first discovered GardenWeb 3.5 years ago when I was looking for a new range. The one that was in this house when we bought it was horrible, so I decided that if we had to replace it I wanted it to be something amazing and requested a high end one as my 30th birthday present from my DH. These forums were invaluable to me in helping me decide which range was right for me and I'm so glad I found them! Unfortunately, it was also shortly after finishing our 1st major renovation in this house, which was a complete redo of our master bathroom, which included completely reconfiguring the space, stealing some space from the master bedroom, and moving the laundry room upstairs so that it's right outside our master bedroom. I absolutely love it and think it turned out great, but I do wonder sometimes if I had discovered these amazing forums earlier if it would have been even better... :-) This is our first time doing a kitchen renovation with kids. When we redid our kitchen in our last house we did everything ourselves except for the granite countertop install and we were able to come home from work and work on it until we went to bed, and then work on it all day on the weekends. With 2 small children (5 & 2) there is no way we could do that again so we are hiring professionals to do it for us this time. Plus we are expanding the kitchen with a small addition which is something we couldn't do anyway, which leads me to my next first... Another first with this kitchen renovation is that it will be my first time putting an addition on. We were in townhouses before this, so this is our first time owning a home where we can actually expand the footprint of the house (not that we could have afforded to before, lol). It's kind of terrifying and exciting all at the same time. The last first that I can think of is that this is the first time we are doing a renovation with a full service design/build firm. In the past we've always been the ones either doing the work ourselves or hiring people we needed to do the work but doing all of the design, coordination, etc ourselves. I'm an engineer and a type-A personality control freak, so although I'm excited to get help with this (I can't do it all with 2 small children and a job) I'm also kind of terrified to let go of some of the control. Our first design meeting is on Tuesday so hopefully it goes well. I am really glad I have the help of everyone on this forum to help though!

Same thing over here, Glenda. We are now in a stage 4 drought, with the whole area under a burn ban. I can't remember it raining over about 30 minutes lately, and softly then. I lost all my patio plants because I couldn't water them. So far we have no restrictions on water usage, I guess because our supply is from the Tombigbee River. Our local news had a story about a woman a few miles north who had to use her garden hose to fill a trough for her cows to drink from, because the pond in her pasture has dried up. I'm in Tupelo. Surely we will get rain again some day!
