Has anyone seen Four Seasonal Garden Flags sold by Smith & Hawken
Comments (5)Thanks to both of you, I have been checking ebay for the past month, hoping something was there. My thought in posting here was...that someone who remembers seeing them might be able to describe them better than I can. If I knew what the images or design was, this could help me locate them better. Hopefully, I can get a picture of them at some point. The one I seem to remember is Winter. It did not have the typical snowman or christmas tree motif that most seasonal flags have. I think the colors were white, light purple and maybe a sage green. Not the usual winter flag colors, but very cool in tone and feeling. I think it had a rectangular field of harlequin pattern and some item in the middle like a family crest or something similarly shaped. Could anyone elaborate on one or all of the flags design if you have seen or remember them? I know it was a while ago...but we would love to find a set, new or used! (Correction to first post): Smith & Hawken was the seller as the subject line says. I have just ordered some shades from Smith & Noble...which explains the slip-up in my post....See MoreAnyone here do four season gardening?
Comments (1)With 3 feet of snow on the ground, gardening with anything other than a greenhouse that's heated is really impossible till early spring. You can winter over cold crops in a cold frame, but they won't grow till spring. At least that's my experience....See MoreHas anyone tried a Four season garden room?
Comments (4)Well, NMFruit, It looks like we may not be getting that sunroom too quickly. They want $21,000 after a few rebates that we may or may not qualify for, and the offer expires on Dec 15, 2015. We were planning to start the project in spring/summer 2016. So the whole thing is in limbo for now. I know that eventually we will have some sort of sunroom, solarium or large windowed building built, eventually. I am happy to have a large south facing window in our basement. I have my Bird of Paradise there now. It was outdoors in the summer, I would love to not have to reduce it's height in the next couple years. I am interested in a mandarin orange tree, etc. So does anyone have any info on perhaps making your own porch enclosure, you know, large windows and a nicely windowed door for at or under $12,000? That is our budget. We have been able to find another Pittsburgh area company, "Patio enclosures". I told them our budget of $12,000, and the size we want (7' X 9') rounded off. So they will likely want to build a tiny closet (poor persons closet) size sunroom/solarium. We just may just have a builder build the whole thing, versus a sunroom company putting their rooms up. I always heard that these sunroom company's buildings were cheaper than a contractor sized room, that is obviously not true. WE didn't include any real "comforts" on our estimate from 4 seasons sunrooms either. No heating/Ac units. Just the bare bones, with the best glass though. Well, just wish us luck at finding what we want with a good price, and of course, if anyone has any ideas how to do it all at a decent price(within our budget), But bear in mind, nobody in my family can build anything, unfortunately....See Moreplants for solarium (sunroom)
Comments (4)I purchase a $20 remote, thermometer from HD a few years ago..., LOVE IT! It remotely records (my garage is remote and out yonder), the minimum and maximum temperatures within a 24 and 48 hour period, and all time maximums and minimums. Having said that, I suspect that your solarium does not see hard frosts and, therefore, you can potentially grow thousands and thousands of species. Many subtropicals and tropicals will even do better in the solarium than in a overheated, DRY, home intended for humans....See Morepoaky1
