Need help finding a vintage stove in North Carolina
Comments (3)I found one at dreamstoves.com The guy is in California and it will cost 500$ to ship it but well worth it. He strips down & guts the whole stove. You are basically getting a brand new stove. His name is Chris. I ordered a 1953 Okeefe & Merritt (I forgot the series) in mint green. I am building a house so have to wait another month before it gets installed....See MoreCurb Appeal in Coastal North Carolina
Comments (4)Add a pop of color with some bright coral or yellow adirondak chairs. You can get the plastic ones that can take the humidity. Add a porch swing at one end. Hang colorful plant baskets centered between each column. Change out colorful pillows with the seasons. If you buy wicker, buy the sythetic wicker. The coastal humidity will destroy real wicker very quickly. The 2nd floor shutters are undersized. That's what is making it look "off." Line the walkway with colorful annuals or put the annuals in two large pots at each side of the step by the walkway. The rest of the landscape will fill in over time....See MorePOLL: What are you planning to grow this summer?
Comments (86)I am growing roses but also trying my luck with a beefsteak tomato plant and a cherry one. I also brought back some rhubarb from the house where I used to live and planted it here. Also chives. I have never seen chives get this big!!! The ones we used to grow were almost half the size of the ones we had at the house. For the rhubarb I read somewhere where one could not pick any when it is in its first year. Is this because it needs to get established?? I left it too late to actually dig up the roots as two thirds of it already had big leaves on it. So I went to the end of the row where the leaves were smaller and dug up about 4 or 5 of them. Two of them are going like gangbusters. But the ones our apartment hired to do the gardens we all swear they don't know a flower from a weed. In fact people have planted stuff and then they come along and pull them out. I think they did that with one of the rhubarb plants. Then there was an iris growing there and it got the stalk with this big bud on it ready to open and then they come along and cut the stalk with the bud on it off when I imagine using the whipper thing. I always check my roses every day and so far none of them have suffered the same fate. I guess they know what roses are. I would love to have a garden and grow zucchini, leaf lettuce but there is no room for me to put them. There are gardens other people are using to grow their vegetables in and this one woman I asked regarding hers last year but she said she needed it to plant herbs in and whatnot but not flowers. Well this year she had to give it up as she was too busy working at the PO to look after it. I had no idea it was available and the payoff was the husband and wife that just moved into the apartment this year they up and used it to grow their vegetables in....See MoreCan a dark blue north facing living room be salvaged via decor?
