Display for antique tea cups?
Comments (13)Thanks for the great tips. I'm thinking about the display box idea within a small cabinet (possibly custom built.) unfortunately, no place to put a display like the photo, no mantel, no way to build a shelf up on the wall with the way our great room is built/cabinets in the kitchen have been installed. Also not able to display within existing cabinet. Wanting to display for all to see, too great not to share. Thanks so much for all the advice so far!! Especially the museum wax/puddy, What is it exactly, and where can i find it? Mentioned that to my husband and he was afraid any puddy would ruin them and he's highly attached to them....See MoreFlagstone Patio and Fertilizer Stain Removal
Comments (0)Hi, fertilizer ended up getting on our flagstone patio and leaving orange stains everywhere. Does anyone have a recommendation for getting them off? Thanks so much in advance!...See MoreTea, or no tea?
Comments (33)@havingfun, yes, tea is graded. There are sieves the leaves are put through, and the 'dust' or 'fannings' fall to the bottom for tea bags. You can make loose tea by the cup, just do 1 heaping tsp. to 6-8 oz. water instead of a tea bag, and brew it in a pot and increase tea per cups desired by the heaping tsp. Then you can pour it through a sieve into the cup if you don't have a regular tea infuser. You can also brew it for recipes you see in magazines or the internet instead of tea bags, with that same measurement. People think it's more expensive, but actually it's not when you do the math and the taste is very different than bags!...See MorePomegranate leaves curled, dried tips, leaves dying/wilting. Why?
Comments (0)Edit: Oh here's pics for reference https://imgur.com/a/kWhlMMp I have a wonderful pomegranate in a large container outside. It gets 6+ hours of sun a day here in Los Angeles. It's the trees second year with me since I bought it. Last year was rough for it since I didn't water it as much as I should have, especially in the summer but overall I look after it. The problem is the leaves just aren't in the best shape, and it hasn't set any flowers yet (Oddly enough my parents got two pomegranates for their house 6 months ago and those two trees already bloomed, albeit theirs are planted in the ground.) I want to add it's been cold here in LA, been getting a lot of rain, temps have been low (for us). I showed pictures of the plant to the guys at my local Armstrong garden and they just keep saying it's cause it's been cold but I dunno about all that. I take care of the thing, neem oil, insecticidal soaps and all that jazz. I'm much better about watering it now. I put all kinds of nice fertilizers in their, Down to Earth brand acid mixes and bio live and what not. I sprayed a epsom salt dilution on the leaves to help with magnesium intake, incase that was the issue. But if anyone out there knows what could be causing this, I'd love to hear from you. I keep a close eye on it and I don't think it's an insect issue. I think it's either a disease or a deficiency in it's vitamins and minerals. Anyway, thanks hope to hear from you! Edit 2: I checked the soil pH it was 6.8. I've added more acid mix in since then to lower it even furthe...See Morejimshy
