Man Kills 40,000 sq ft Lawn

Here's a link to a CNN story about a guy that accidentally killed his 40,000 sq ft lawn with a product he thought was just for weed control. (sorry about the ad at the beginning) ...»

I'm also posting the label on the product.

Do you think the label was sufficient to tell him what he needed to know?

Choosing a Ripe Melon

It's terribly disappointing to cut into a watermelon and find that it is still mostly pink inside and has little sweetness to the meat. But what do you look for when choosing one at the ...»
grocery? How can you pick the ripest one?

There are two reliable methods:

Yellow Belly

Examine the underside of a melon. Ripe ones will have a cream or yellow belly, unripe ones will be white or green.

Slap Test

Ripe melons will sound hollow when you slap them. But what does "hollow" sound like?

Practice on your body. Give your forehead a couple of light slaps. Repeat on your chest. Repeat on your stomach. Notice how the sound changes for each one. The sound your stomach makes when slapped is the "ripe" sound you're looking for.

It's best to compare three watermelons side by side. You'll easily be able to pick the one that sounds most hollow when slapped.

Sweet combination

I combined a bit of annuals with my perennials for this result. I think it turned out pretty. What do you all think? Behind (almost in bloom) is Becky Daisy. Angelonia, Verbena, Stokesia, &

Coreposis.

  • Can you tell these are the arms/ends of a futon?
  • I just painted them gray, set them behind cedar planters and decorated them with cherubs and plates.

the rest of my backyard and the inside of the carriage house (please excuse the mess....I don't know what to do with all of this outdoor stuff). I am thinking some kind of covered eating area or hot tub destination...but it is rather far from the house. There are lights and electricity in all rooms of the house and off the main room is another room that has cabinets and and another room that is a horse stall. It is an awesome place but I need assistance on how to incorporate it into my landscaping! I'm in Alabama by the way. Help???!!!
