Comments (40)super jealous of your old apartment!!! now, along the lines of lowering the opening in my family room, here is a photo of that opening taken from the foyer. this picture also shows what will be the cased opening in the hallway. the hallway cased openings should probably remain 9 ft even if the family room and dining room openings get lowered a foot, right? any thoughts on how i can do this so it doesn't look terrible? is it ok for hallway cased openings to be taller than door-less entrances to rooms? by the way, the other doorway you're seeing in the hallway is a closet and then, beyond that, is the opening to the butler's pantry....See MoreProgress of Nursery/ Big Girl Rm.

Comments (31)dekeoboe - thanks for the heads up about the owl! I went to Hallmark today and got the last one. Knock on wood - the 'L' word is really on my side so far w/ this room! The owl was 50% off! And the paint guy at ACE clearly didn't hear me when I said I wanted it mixed in the Essence paint as it is only $14.99 per gallon. I got 2 gallons for both DD's room and mine. I almost fell over when the cashier said $48! He mixed the wrong brand and it turned out that they were out of Essence so he gave me their top of the line paint for $14.99/ gallon! Sue - those alphabet fairies are just perfect! Polly - that chandy is so sweet! I wanted to name DD Penelope but DH nixed that. I really like the bunny lamp and I may have to start trolling around e-bay for something similar. Hellokitty - I was thinking of one or two small pillows - I really like the heart ones that Polly got at IKEA. I have a sweet little white one that I picked up a few months ago that has the palest of pale pink edging and is embroidered w/ 'P.S. I love you' in the same shade of pink. It's so pale you almost don't even notice it. I thought maybe a great raspberry plaid for the rocker seat. I started painting the dresser about 30 minutes ago in SW Berry Bush. I think that the deeper raspberry tones w/ that wall color are edgey but still sweet. Igloo - Maybe we can vacation swap houses like they did in The Holiday! LOL! Yes - I agree - that girls room that is decked out in all those fabulous shades of turqouise, green and white is simply wonderful! That Poster did such an amazing job at pulling that room together so well....See MoreBrown leaves - Action needed?
Comments (16)I would not do it personally (although I realize some will disagree). The rationale is this: the plant has an energy budget. If it spends some of it's budget on making blooms and fruit, it has less energy to spend on growing roots and leaves (and eventually more tomatoes). Now I would agree it'd be nice if your plant grew a lot bigger. It's not really that sick, but it is definitely stressed and it's quite small for how much fruit is on it. It's fruiting hard now because it's under stress and it's desperate to reproduce. My sungold is producing ripe fruits now, but it's 6 feet tall. But, I believe it can recover and grow with fruit still on it. It might go slower than if you took the fruit off, but I am a firm beliver a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. The philosophy of taking blooms off when transplanting or the plant is stressed is thinking about the two in the bush. There is no such thing as too early in the season to be getting fruit. It's just about this idea that somehow early fruit stunts the plant later, which I don't believe. In the case of a stressed plant, it's not a totally unreasonable suggestion, but I just wouldn't choose to go that route. For me, I'd rather keep the plant with the fruit and just buy a new plant, rather than trying to "reset" this one. With the size it is, there'd be no difference. I suspect the drainage is not the greatest, as you are thinking. There's probably a high proportion of peat and compost in the soil and it probably is holding too much water. (I don't use potting soil in my pots either, I have never found any that's worth a darn.) You can find out about the moisture level in the bottom of the pot by using a bamboo skewer or chopstick to stick down in the bottom of the pot. My advice would be to do this, and don't water until it's nearly dry in the bottom. This, plus the aerating you just did, will help your plants roots get some air. Next time, you could try using a LOT more perlite, or better yet try a different type of mix. I use Gardener & Bloome Planting Mix, 6 parts of that to 1 to 2 parts perlite. That mix is bark-based and meant for raised beds. I get so much better results with it. It's really criminal what they put in bags of "potting soil." Also, I have found many commercial pots do not drain well even with nothing in them. Check by putting water in the empty pot. Sometimes the holes are not at the lowest point in the pot. Often the nice glazed ceramic pots also don't drain well. I try to make more holes in the pot when this is true. It's ok to put screen or broken pottery over a single hole to prevent soil from clogging or flowing out - but do NOT put a layer or gravel or anything else at the bottom of the pot. This is common advice, but actually impedes drainage. Jenn ps: ncrealestateguy, thanks for the description of sunscald. I don't get a lot of it here :)...See Morerouge21_gw (CDN Z5b/6a)
