storing bench grafted apple rootstock.?
Comments (5)You can graft your rootstock and then store them for weeks/months in refrigeration. Professional nurseries will often provide a couple weeks of dark storage at warmer temperatures(70F) in order for the graft union to callus over. They then refrigerate the grafts until ready to plant. I've stored bench grafts for over a month in my cellar which stays between 40-50F. Keep them well wrapped in plastic, and the roots in moist sawdust, straw or peat so they don't dry out....See MoreNew bench for pond & pics
Comments (7)I've had a similar bench for several years now. I know you'll enjoy yours as much as I do mine. I added a cushion to mine a few years ago, and my kittie likes to sleep on it, especially when I'm sitting on it watching the fish. Nothing could be more soothing than to sit and watch the fish and listen to the water....See MoreWho wishes they had more seating in the garden? Pics please
Comments (41)Wow, WOW, wow to all the seating areas here! Can't pick a favorite- they are all so amazing! Great thread idea LL ;-) -goldenpond, is all of your pond man-made? It is really incredible. That paddle boat looks like such fun! -Mary_lu, Speechless. If you put a little coffee pot in that porch I would PAY RENT to stay there! What a neat idea to put the church window-like frames in it! -Susan, love the colors! I know your DH picked out the plummy color, did he pick out the rest of them too? Love em'! My two (not counting the front steps ;-) seating areas are in the backyard. Here is the big table and chairs under the flame maples. This pic is taken from the back pathway. Took it from this angle because I couldn't bear having you guys see the horrible mess I in the side garden!! Lol. Here is the patio/shade garden area. What a great thread. Reminds me I need to get a little bench or something for by the arbor garden! CMK...See MoreBanquette Bench is In!! Which Fabric do you like?
Comments (118)Wow, you have found the most beautiful fabrics in existence in those colors. This is what I would do: 1) Pick one of the fabrics that somehow brings in the color of your beautiful floor (along with the blues and yellows) 2) Put that fabric on the back of the banquette. 3) Put a solid colored vinyl / leather on the banquette bottom (this is what I did on my banquette - fabric on back, solid leather look vinyl on the bottom.) That way, people can slide around on it easier, it won't grab your dress / skirt bottom like fabric will when you slide, and clean ups are a breeze. Stuff tends to drop horizontally... This is mine from > 10 years ago. I'm very glad I put vinyl on the bottom because any fabric would have long since worn out. The Raymond Waites fabric along the back has held up fine. You might need to turn up the brightness on your monitor for this one. But I like the darker picture because it includes the stagecoach blinds at the top behind the light. I was trying for a Texas country look. The only disaster has been to the table finish. Someone left a frozen turkey in a grocery bag on top of the table for maybe an hour. Now there are a spiderweb of hairline cracks inside the finish radiating out from where Mr. Tom the Turkey rested.. It's still the favorite hang out place in the house....See Morewilcinbro1
