Comments (11)I've grown moonflowers before and had great success scarifying them by breaking the seed coat with a sharp knife and keeping them wet between several layers of paper towels. I have a major in finance and a minor in forestry, lol, and we've grown pine and hardwood seedlings from seeds that were scarified in sand in my refridgerator for six months, then planted in seed beds for two years, then heeled in in my back yard. A long, long time ago my husband( a professional forestry consultant) and I planted five acres in pine seedlings in freezing water up to my knees when I was six months pregnant for $50.00. We were young and needed grocery money!...See MoreHOW TO PROTECT YOUR PLANTS THIS WINTER
Comments (1)Yup. We live in CT USA. In the spring we move our indoor plants to the outside. We figure the sunshine and fresh air will do them good. That idea seems to working just fine. Unusually warm weather for us this time of year in CT, so 2 weeks ago we moved our normally indoor plants from the outside back to the inside...previous years meant moving them indoors in september instead of october...See MorePlease, I need help before winter
Comments (52)Yes to shutters (if there is space to fit them in next to the front door). On a very plain house like this one they will make all the difference. OR, if not window shutters, add long shutters to flank the front door, and make it look wider and more of a focal point. Paint front door and shutters a rich terra cotta color to warm it all up (make sure it is a deeper saturation than the brown, for contrast) while staying relatively traditional looking. Or if you like it brighter, go with a deep pumpkin orange. If possible, as another writer said, dispense with the screen door which obscures the bolder look of the front door, or else get a more up to date screen door which is either unobtrusive or makes its own statement (also painted terra cotta). Garage door should be either neutral brown or terra cotta, to bring that color into this side of the house, and brown stain for the ramp. Add a few nice details, like black iron craftsman inspired door hardware - doorknob/door pull, locks, knocker, hinges, outdoor/over the door light fixture, house numbers, any garage door hardware, and mailbox, and use black for other small accents. See picture posted above with orange door and how they use accents Iike this. Details like this really make or break it. Good luck!...See MorePreeta
