Anyone have anything in the works or planned for this year?
I need to repair a decorative fence, start my fire pit and add some lupines to my gardens.

I'm just going to continue restoring the older gardens that went to hello while I took my little vacations over the last few years. I have to move my raised bed garden because it is kinda in the middle of a new road down to the south 40. I have LOTS of perennials to transplant, so the newer "Display Garden" will undoubtedly continue to grow this spring. If I have time, I might even write a couple more plant pages too!

I'm hoping to double the size of the veggie garden that I put in last year. It work well enough that I want to try more stuff.
I also want to build a garden shed so I can get the million pots and gardening tool and such out of the basment.
If I find any time after that there are still several gardens that I need to be reclaimed. Most were over grown when we moved in and I only got to about half of them last year.

At this particular moment in time we're only going to have one garden spot rather than 3. We may end up with 2 because I like having the cukes planted in a place all to themselves. I want to be able to keep up with everything for once in my life and 3 gardens is just too many for this old woman.

I took out a few garden/ flower beds over the years...things were going to 'hello' as well when I was sick. I have no more dreams of expanding anything anymore. Although if I had a tiller I as well would have a bigger veggie garden. All your plans sound great

as we sit here all I have is 1 14 x 4 flower bed, & 3 smaller flower beds-- Come next spring we are going to move my veggie garden to higher ground. it was 10 x 12 or so. And as my DD & her DH bought me those 2 raised garden beds, I will have those and a additional garden plot for my asparagus and my tomatoes as well--- and oh, Bill--I will get photos of my dad's asparagus beds this summer for you since mine will not be up and running so well this year after all. Hopefully between me and my BIL we will maintain them for mom.

Birds love them and will poop purple on every thing. They spread the seeds and they come up everywhere. Red looking berries and big leaves.

Since money is very tight - I am going to start slow and concentrate on making the front yard look better. The area right under the front bay window that use to house big, old, and ugly evergreen bushes needs something. I have two tall planters for annuals that flank each side of the window, but I'd like something besides mulch on the ground. I'm thinking of planting Silver Beacon Nettle as a ground cover with a few hosta.
There's a little bit of a gardener in each of us just waiting to grow

That will work. Just remember Hosta will be lots taller than Netty.. If it is the one I have,it grows close to the ground an only a few inches tall.=Dwarf Marigold will grow nice there too..If you have seeds , start some in a container inside now.

Southern mulberry trees grow everywhere in tennessee. They are related to figs and hedge apples. the genus Morracie "i think thats what it is" is very easy to transplant, and is readily transplanted until they are about six feet tall. thet produce a very sweet, and juicy fruit at around memorial day. They make excellent pies and cobblers,but you have to add extra sugar because most of the natural sugars in the mulberry evaporate ,or something, when cooked. They also make an excellent wine. In my opinion much better than grape. you can also take cuttings from the tree. With mulberry cuttings the bigger the cutting the more likely it is to root. And Thats all about i know about mulberries.
Every plant started out as a seed ,and then came the waiting game.

Since I've moved here a year ago, Last year I had too much going on in my life, and not motivated to get outside to plant much or design areas. BUT this year I have the plant fever  Yesterday the boys and I created a "brug" area Bed. 2 weeks ago made another flower bed. This yard had nothing in it,, so I have a blank slate,, so we are still designing and deciding. I take the boys to garden centers with me,, teach them what will survive in Tx heat, We are going to have a gnome/fairy area, a sitting area flower shade area,, it will probably take all summer to do it but what a learning experience for the boys

I have stuff planned for the remaining of the year.
Saturday we're painting our front door Benjamin Moore Red.
We're going to start remodeling our kitchen too. Not sure that will be completed before the end of this year though.

I will Sunflowers. I had picked out several shades of red and really like Tulip Red until I actually saw it painted on a chip. It has an undertone of pine. Another red I liked had an undertone of burgundy. Other had an orange undertone. So I finally decided on just plain Red. It's not fire engine red but just plain red. So be careful when picking from a magazine or the internet and carry your choice around the paint store and look at it in different light. Hopefully it will be finished tomorrow afternoon and I can get pictures.

Johnny can use the back door. Really, I have wanted to paint my doors forever and John liked the pale gray. I guess I could spring for some color now. And I haven't.

I've tried putting a wreath on the door but the storm door closes too tightly. I've tried using a wreath hook and hang one over the storm door but it slaps around on the door when it's opened and shut. Wonder what I can do.

Sheri: I use a strong suction cup hook to hold mine on.--the over-the-door hook is a good idea also, but either way, you need to get a thinner wreath. Possibly even a flat one??

maybe you could use one of those scotch picture hangers,, the kind that peels off the wall when your done and doesn't leave a mark,,??? tie a small string on the back of your wreath to hang off the hook of the scotch hanger??

I use a thin thumb tack on the top and bottom of the door, then tie fishing line to each one from the top and bottom of the wreath, keeps it in place and no one sees the clear line

I got a call from a solar place. Now I'm wondering if solar panels/energy increase the value of a home. Anyone done any research on this?

Never mind. I read some articles and it's as I thought. It doesn't increase the value of the home although they do sell faster than regular homes.

We just got solar on our home through Solar City; they're nation wide through Home Depot. It doesn't increase your house value however we have a leased system from them for $6500 at 10mw which will cover ~70-75% of our power consumption. We went leased (20 year lease) as we got advice from several companies as: "There is no market for a 20 year old, out of warranty, solar panel or inverter, it's cheaper for them to sell you the equipment at $5/panel after 20 years than to pay to have their crew come to your location, take everything down, dispose of it, pay for an entire crew, and patch your roof".

Thank you for the information. How much were your monthly payments if you don't mind my asking. And what is 10 mw? Can you change those to kwh? per month?

We don't have any monthly payments for the solar (as we paid $6500 up front); we sell the kwh to the power company and it offsets our intake price accordingly dollar for dollar. We pay the power company 6.7c-7.5c per kwh and each month we use ~1167kwh. The panels will pay for themselves within 5 years.
The system we have is a 9.84 kw, which is one of their largest systems that they install residentially under the program we're on.
It's cool too, since we're under a lease, if anything happens to a panel they'll come out and repair it, no questions asked... Plus I can monitor the output at the meter, on their site, and on an app on my phone...

hum our coop won't buy power. All they will do is put in some kind of special meter so that my energy doesn't register.
So is the 9.84 kw/h? Which would mean you are generating approximately 3541.80 kw/h per month? based on a 12 hour a day average?

Different areas handle it differently, depends on how they want to regulate it pretty much...
We get a special meter too, I think ultimately it ends up about the same, a wash of what we send vs use ultimately.
I'm not sure how it's all calculated down the pipe, I don't want to end up giving you misinformation to turn you off on the idea... They're pretty easy to talk to if you want more info though.

I'm having my inside doors painted. Most of them have been stripped and we're taking the others. We found out these doors are probably original to this house which was built in 1928 so we'd be dumb to replace them. They have lots and lots of coats of paint on them.

I am glad you are taking them in to be done, Sheri. Lead paint can put nasty things in the air you breath.

We're painting them. We thought about leaving them natural with some type of top coating but we've decided to paint.

I actually had an interior decorator come and give me advice. Johnny went to someones house where all the doors had been stripped and left natural. He liked them. So we had a bunch of ours stripped several months ago and I couldn't decide if I liked them or not. The decorator said it makes the door the focal point of whatever room they're in. I don't think that's the look I want. Johnny has another client who has all her interior doors painted red. Benjamin Moore Red just like I painted the front door.

well, all of my doors are white---to go with the walls--then I have wood colored trim around them and the whole house. The guy who built the house said he had seen that in a house & liked it, so that is what he did here--(we bought after it had been built)
PS my red door is only red on the outside.--inside it is white also

I keep meaning to repaint our home but we never seem to get around to it.
Right now, I'm just focusing on getting some neglected beds in order and I want to plant some marigolds as a border around the garden. I'm also thinking about putting something along my walk but I don't know what. I don't like petunias or pansies, so I may do some sort of ornamental bush or something like that.

Wish I knew someone locally who makes drapes. The lady who made the ones in my bedroom is swamped until after January 1st. I'm keeping the rod she put up when she made the ones hanging now but I want something a little less structured - these are double pinch pleated (whatever that means). They matched a duvet but I've replaced the duvet with a quilted spread. I suppose everything blends ok but I do want a lighter look. Wish I had paid more attention in home ec in the 8th grade.

as I recall--you buy the expensive material, and flat drapery tape at the fabris store. the full width of the material is the width of each panel.--yoiu need 2 & 1/2 tiems the width of the window for each pair of drapes.
--you fold over the top of the material about 1 inch & iron it in place. then you fold again the width of the tape, pin in place & iron again. Place the tape down pin in place--re-iron & sew along the top & bottom. NOW---the tape had places that one puts 3 pronged pins into-----you gather up 3 places per pin & place one every say 10 to 12 inches. (I seem to recall you cannot do this wrong as the tape is made to not do it wrong. you then hem the sides by folding over about 1 inch on each side ironing & sewing in place---bottom measure to fit & fold, iron & sew---we did it when I was a freshman in H/S
but why not jsut wait unrtil january----it will come sooner or later---:)

I go past a sign all the time that says "custom draperies" and then a phone number and now that I need that number I can't remember where I see the sign. I was sure it was going to or from church but I didn't see it this morning so now I just don't know.

I want drapes that are pinch pleated and have some sort of small pattern or texture. It seems most window treatments these days are rod pockets.

I have a rod that was made for me and I LOVE it. It has rings on it so the drapes or curtains have to be been pleated. I've looked at every site I can think of and what I find is either solids, which are boring, or patterns that need to be sheered on a rod. I didn't realize stores don't even carry drapes anymore.

I will take a textured curtain rather than a pattern if that's what is found. I just don't like solid, plain, boring.

Did I ever post here that I got new drapes for Johnny's room? He loves them and I love them. All I had to do was hem them which I did with stitch witchery.
I still haven't found any for my room. I saw a page in Better Homes and Gardens that had up green bamboo blinds that are beautiful. I just had to put hooks in my woodwork and I don't know if they will totally block out light like my drapes do now. The magazine didn't mention where to buy these blinds so I'm going to have to hunt them.

Barb, Stitch witchery is a fusable bonding web for hems, trims and belts; It is Washable and dry cleanable. It comes in a roll that makes it look ,like a roll of tape that is not in a dispenser, and about as wide as regular width tape. You place it between 2 pieces of say material and then you iron in in--and it glues the 2 sides together---It is great stuff. Look for it in the sewing section of a fabric store or say one at Wal-mart.

dodge, yes we have our own room. Years ago when Johnny came down with polymyositis he couldn't stand any movement around him because of the pain. So I started sleeping in one of the guest rooms. He's been almost totally bedridden for several months twice since the original diagnosis so I've just stayed in my own room. I sleep better when I sleep alone. Always have.

He's doing pretty good these days. I love my bedroom. It has 2 over sized windows that I can see out of when I'm in my bed. That's the room I'd like to get new curtains for but I love my rod and can't find anything to work with it.

Do you sew, Sheri. Rod pocket curtains are not that hard to make after all....That way you could make sure they would work with your exsisting Rods...

I do not sew and none of my friends sew. A few say they used too but not anymore. I don't even know anyone with a sewing machine or I'd get them to show me how to make easy curtains. I've decided against changing the ones in my bedroom because I want to keep my gorgeous rod and that requires pleated draperies but I do want to make or buy some light and breezy curtains for the dining room.

I don't make curtains often, pain.. You have to be so perfect in all ways or they don't match each other. I try to scuff by them.

My sewing machine is very old--I bought it when I was 20. It is a Singer Golden Touch & Sew. The problem is the te4nsion keeps slipping. Over the years I have had it to 2 seperate singer dealers & they both said it was fine--well, no it is not. So now I have the generic machine of my DH's Aunt. I have not made myself use it as his other aunt said yea, she thinks it works--- But I must soon find out if it does. IF I ever get a grand daughter I intend to make her some clothes. Due to the costy of the material I have not sewn for myself in years.

I found some curtains for the dining room at Pier 1. I can't get the link to open here but if you go to Pier 1 you can see them under curtains. They're called Bird On A Wire.

The lady hasn't shown up to do the curtains. She keeps sending emails that as soon as she catches up.......How far behind was she?

Sheri. I just love when things are changed & "freshened up" It makes everything look so wonderful.

I agree
Those pleated drapes seem to dress up the room, a lot.
Are the lined?

Yes I used a fuzzy sateen for the lining. It just makes them hang better.

Very nice You're right about the costs dodge. When I was looking for drapery material for my bedroom it costs a lot per yard and I need 20 yards. Then I need lining and other notions and then have to pay someone to make them. Finding these ready made and then having them redone saved me a few dollars.
