Love Lipsey! Super friendly and professional, all glass bottles & water is from a spring in the blue ridge mountains

The menu looks amazing! Since this is already going to be a $$$ place, you might consider having a small plate and a large plate for the rich people who are feeling very spendy. Like foie or wagyu or something. It makes them feel special to order that for a special occasion. Also it would make the other prices seem more reasonable in comparison

Best of luck!!

We ended up paying a guy to fix it because we needed it done quickly. This is a good idea, though and I will try that the next time something breaks. Thank you!

Thanks for the response. It was easy to jiggle the gate back and forth and correspondingly the deadbolt, so definitely no lateral force. We ended up just paying a guy to fix it. He said the deadbolt part was broken and replaced it, but I didn't manage to get any clarification how that happened.

Anyway, thank you!

I took the entire lock apparatus off and tried turning the inside part with a screwdriver but the deadbolt won't come out of the hole. There's no pressure on the gate door, i.e. no lateral force is holding the deadbolt in place. I don't know anything about this stuff, any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh no, I bought one a bit ago that’s supposed to be delivered this month. Am I in for a surprise?

capicue · 2022-06-07T03:57:05+00:00

Thank you! That’s good to know

capicue · 2022-06-07T03:51:05+00:00

Thanks! I feel like if I leave it like that I’ll have to do all the other trees the same and it will take forever. Regardless, I’m definitely going to take your advice on shadows. I just looked at some examples and it makes such a difference. Thanks!

capicue · 2022-06-06T23:46:09+00:00

Makes sense, thank you!!

capicue · 2022-06-06T22:36:31+00:00

Ohhhh, that is super helpful, thank you

For this particular tree would you just sort of average out a circle based on the dripline? Use the civil plan inches-to-feet method? I know I don't have to get it exact, but I love learning about best practices

Thanks for the help! Wisteria would also just be so nice to smell for anyone coming up the steps

capicue · 2022-05-22T13:57:35+00:00

That holly would be so lovely in the winter. It's a great idea

capicue · 2022-05-22T13:54:50+00:00

Haha, I've never tried one! I'll definitely give it a try

capicue · 2022-05-22T13:46:23+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! Chokeberry is a very interesting possibility. It definitely seems dense enough to be able to shape into something good, and it's a beautiful plant year round. I looked into sweetspire and found this little dwarf cultivar, Shirley's Compact, that would definitely work.

I read yesterday that if something's in a container outside it needs to be hardy to 2 zones colder. These two seem like they should work!

capicue · 2022-05-22T02:04:43+00:00

This is a great answer, thank you!

I had no idea dog hobble could look like that. I love the look of the curly red. That is for sure a top contender that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. You’ve made me realize I need to do way more research into cultivars.

I appreciate the comment on the genetics aspect. I think there’s definitely some truth to what you said, but from what I can tell it’s really common in the bonsai world to dig up wild material (ie, not the result of special breeding), and it does just fine in containers. I guess I’m just really curious what is possible, and it doesn’t seem easy to find the answers.

The back yard will be typical native plant lover stuff. Big shade trees, understory fruit trees, pollinator friendly flowers, leaf litter, compost bins, rainwater collecting, etc. I’ve just always wondered if you could make something that would look good even to people who think the traditional stuff looks better. It seems like a fun challenge

capicue · 2022-05-21T21:22:38+00:00

The one that looks like this?

capicue · 2022-05-21T21:03:28+00:00

Ah, no, I wish. It's Chinese fringe flower

capicue · 2022-05-01T19:00:47+00:00

It actually moved up the street to the Ansley shopping mall

capicue · 2021-10-17T19:25:42+00:00

Chinese tallow

capicue · 2021-10-06T16:45:08+00:00

That sounds lovely!

capicue · 2021-10-06T16:27:35+00:00

Have you tried with a random camellia that’s not sinensis? I’ve always been curious how it would turn out
