Is bigger always better? ;-}
Ok, you are in a nursery (ahhâ¦sweet winter fantasy, lol!) . There is a plant you have been looking for sitting over there on the shelf. They have two sized pots of this plant, big and little (the smaller costs less). Which do you go for in most cases? Does it depend on WHAT the plant is?
Is your way of thinking that buying the bigger one means you can divide it and get several plants from it? Or that you won't have to wait years for it to mature since it is already big?
Or are you the sort that would rather pay less and get a smaller plant, since it will get big eventually anyway?
I got to thinking about this the other day when someone I did a seed trade with said they hadn't bought such and such a plant because the nurseries always sold huge pots of it for a lot more than they are willing to pay.
Have to say I am the same way. Most times I would rather buy the small pot for less (which essentially means I can buy more of other things ;-). Plus I like doing this because if it is something I have never grown before and dies out, I won't feel quite as bad as I would have killing a large and more $$ plant! LOL.
Only times I prefer to buy the bigger pot is if it is a evergreen/slow growing shrub or the bigger plant looks healthier than the small guy.
How about you?
It all depends on whether I'm adding to one of my collections or looking for a specimen plant for a certain spot. If it's just to add to a collection I buy small, it will grow. If I'm looking for a specimen plant to finish off a vision I have in my mind I'll go for it, I'll buy the one I think completes the picture.
I always buy the smaller plant. It makes it easier to tranisiton to my 'sea of clay' LOL.
They really do seem to adjust better, if they're smaller, when I plant them in the garden...and I can buy three or four smaller plants instead of one big plant!
I buy the one with the most "plant" in the pot, and usually the one in bud and not in bloom. Sometimes I buy the smaller one - I usually try and see what kind of root the plant has on it before worrying about the height and flower. After all, it's what's below that counts most ;)
If we're talking perennials, I tend to buy smaller unless it's something I know divides well and is something I want to have multiples of. I have found that big pots, with big plants that have completely filled the pot, are often rootbound and don't transplant well unless they are divided, and sometimes not even then. For shrubs and trees, I look for a vigorous plant that looks like it still has a bit of room to grow - i.e. is not potbound. For container trees that usually means something under 6'.
In general, my experience is that smaller plants are easier to get established.
Hmmm,, i prefer to buy bigger roses for quicker impact as im very impatient and dont want to baby little ones forever. But also because i have a hard time giving them alot of room if they are small (as if theyll never grow up!) But for most perrenials i buy the smaller size. Unless its something i have a hard time getting growing(like tall phlox, i dont know why it never takes off for me).
Generally i read the plant tags but never end up giving plants enough elbow room .
It was nice thinking about being in a nursery again!
-woodyoak, how come you don't buy rootbound plants? I have heard other people saying the same thing, but am not sure why?? Is it because the roots are more likely to be damaged/disturbed when getting it out of the pot? Don't think I have ever lost a plant because it was rootbound that I can recall...though fungal issues is another matter!
-lilyfinch, last year in winter I even started dreaming a few times about being in a nursery!!! LOL.
Perennials, I would buy THREE of the smaller ones hopefully for the same cost as the one big one! I like to plant multiples and prefer to get 3 small plants with their own root structure than divide up a bigger pot.
Shrubs, I always buy bigger just because of our slow growing season.
Rootbound, I'll tend to buy rootbound perennials and not worry too much about it. Trees and shrubs are another story, but I can say I have planted plenty of rootbound shrubs and trees and they seem to do fine as long as the roots are "dealt with" before planting.
For me it depends on so many things that can vary day to day. I bought roses in large pots as I know they need every advantage in a cold climate and I was impatient for blooms. They were in bloom when I got them at the end of June on sale and continued without a pause until well after freeze-up so it was worth it.
Plants that are new to me I sometimes buy in small pots - got my Walker's Low in a 5" pot and it took off unbelievably, should have got 6, and will get more next year.
If I want/need a lot of a certain type of plant such as the lavender I bought in a small flat of plugs as they were very inexpensive. They are also marginal here so I haven't lost much if only half survive.
For shrubs or trees I like to buy in larger pots. And I prefer they not be too root bound as it's just an extra stress for the plant. If I'm paying the big bucks for a potted tree I want it in very good condition.
I'm usually very frugal but it does depend on how desirable the plant is to me and how nurturing I'm feeling at the time. I've babied plants for decades so sometimes don't feel like taking on more. But every year do buy a few I know need it.
Overall I buy more small potted plants than large simply because they are a better buy and I can wait for them to grow.
CMK - rootbound plants are often weaker than those that haven't reached that state, so they often don't thrive after planting, even after cutting off some of the root mass to stimulate new roots. Rootbound perennials have a better chance of surviving than shrubs and trees do in my experience. But it has to be a really good deal on a plant I really want before I figure it's worth the cost. Often a smaller (and cheaper) plant with healthy roots will have caught up or surpassed the larger one within a year. So it's usually not worth the extra effort to deal with the rootbound plant.
I'm always opting for small sized ones. For various reasons including:
That I'm patient and willing to wait it grow out.
that it's easier for the plant to transplant and easier for the plant to recover.
that it's the right price.
that I know how fast or slow a plant develops.
For example, this summer I was searching for a Hakuru Nishiki for my cousin and myself. One nursery priced it high because it was a large plant and tree shaped. I later found it at another centre for less than half the price because it small and bush shaped. I opted for the small plant because I knew what I needed to do to shape the plant into a tree. Also because the plant should achieve full size by year 3.
Perennials,smaller. Reason, like many of you, so I can buy mmore, and within a short time,they catch up anyhow. Liked the comment about enjoying the garden grow..sort of like children!
Shrubs, woody plants I usually buy on the larger size.
We did plant3 blue spruce years ago when they were just 10"tall. They ara tall, beautiful trees now. Sometimes you have to consider how much wildlife problems you have, too, which we don't even in the country.

We didn't know where to dine and through tripadvisor we found this great restaurant which is in a nice little house. When we pull up we weren't sure what we were walking into as there is a big bill board sign out front that reminded us of a tacky restaurant, how wrong were we. Once we sat down a very young lady came over and we thought oh my she isn't going to know a thing about the menu, wrong again. I think her name was Jessica and she was a wealth of knowledge on the menu as well attentive to everyone she served. The food was so good we didn't venture to another restaurant on our second evening out, we went back to them and again enjoyed our evening out. Had the same delightful server and this time the one of the owners came out to say hi, the other was cooking. Had the veal masala and the zabaglione dessert, fabulous.

Author has written 22 stories for Harry Potter, Sherlock, and Radio Dramas.
Okay I feel like I need to redo my entire profile because, well, things have changed. I still write, I'm currently working on a Merthur fic (19.000 words so far so let's cross our fingers shall we?) It should be about 30.000 words long if everything goes according to plan (which probably won't).
Er, what else? I don't write as often, mainly because I haven't got time, but also because I'm growing incredibly lazy with time. I'll probably start working on more stuff as soon as something strikes my fancy but well, it's not like I can exactly control it.
If I keep working at this rhythm I might be able to upload the first chapter of my new fiction around february 10th, so stay tuned.
For those of you who read my Mystrade/Johnlock Hogwarts AU, I'm thinking about writing a sequel. Nothing planned quite yet, but I'm considering it.
Ah yes, I feel like I need to say this: I'm mostly writing in English these days because it's just more fun this way. I might write in French again one day, but no immediate project.
And once again, thanks to each and everyone of you who read my fics and took the time to review, it really is appreciated!

We had a lovely stay in kongressikoti. The host was very hospitable and friendly. The room was spacious and it came with in-room facilities that make this hostel scores high in value-for-money. It is a small hostel with only about 10 rooms, but the design makes it very homey. We definitely had a pleasant stay. - Anonymous

I will come back to this perfect place again ! - Svetlana
Perfect location, just a five-minute walk from the station and about 10 minutes to the Esplanade. Cozy, clean, well-occupated nice furnished modern room. Stable wi-fi connection in the room. Nice bed, choice of pillows. Pretty good hair-dryer in the bathroom. Friendly staff but that is usual for Finland I think. - Anonymous
The hotel position is great just few blocks away from central station.
Staff was kind and room clean, comfortable and soundproof, though the hotel is located directly on the street and just above the pub.
After check out they were also so kink to keep our (cabin size) luggage for the morning.
Excellent value for money right in the heart of Helsinki.

Memorable holiday. Great location. Comfortable beds, loved the decor. A good breakfast. Staff extremely helpful. Will visit Helsinki and stay at Hotel Glo again. - Miriam
Very nice staff, good service although it was very busy in the hotel this time. Nice rooms and a very special shower! - Bengt
The quality for price was exceptionally high. Wonderful rooms with wonderful facilities. - Anonymous
The location is the best in Helsinki right by the harbour. The hotel is a luxury boutique sized hotel. The rooms are large and very nicely appointed with big bathrooms. Ask for a harbour view room. It has a decent spa. The Havis restaurant and the very old Sundmans Krog brasserie are lovely. Overall this hotel is smart, with a lovely lounge and nice relaxed atmosphere. I am very choosy about hotels and Haven is thoroughly recommendable if you visit Helsinki... - Anonymous
I am a very regular business traveller and I kow what to expect - they managed to exceed my expectations each day - lots of small things where they went "above and beyond" to make me feel welcome. Like I asked for a milk for the in-room tea and they had no sachets left so they fetched me a jug of fresh milk from the restaurant; that kind of thing. Nice hotel, comfy bed, good welcome. - Neal
I stayed at the hotel with my friends for week-end...the hotel is very good and the atmosphere is nice .... there is 5 o'clock tea there in the bar when we have a wonderful opportunity to spend a nice time with your friends . - Svetlana
The hotel was very central, and all the sights and shops in the center of the city was reachable by foot. The apartment in the hotel was very clean and spaciouse. It had all the equipment we needed for our stay, and the staff was very helpful. - Målfrid
I think I like everything about this place! It feels like you're at home in your own apartments with all the necessary equipment, household appliances, kitchen utensils, furniture, wardrobe, perfect wi fi connection etc. Also I like the design, place is pretty quiet and nice. First I thought that location is not really close to the city centre and took a tram, but after that I realised it's not so far, and if you're not very tired or smth it's pretty easy and fast to get there even on heels :) - Anonymous
This is an excellent location and real value for money. The reception staff are very polite, courteous and helpful and the dining room staff work very hard to find suitable table for all guests in a timely way - Anonymous

Innovation is not just about technology. And for an administration that prides itself on its drive to innovate, there is still room for improvement.
"It's heavily technology focused," said Kathryn Stack, adviser for evidence-based innovation at the Office of Management and Budget, in an interview. "The difficulty is that the guts of so many government processes about how we do grants, contracts, procurement and how we manage communications in agencies -- a lot of it hasn't really been touched by innovation."
However, the budget crunch could act as a catalyst for rethinking how government performs operations that until now have seemed off limits, largely because many of the mission-support offices have not been given clear direction, Stack added.
"There's a huge fear of taking risks, and until we can create that safe space that says 'this is such an important area,' we've got to try some different things and take risks," she said, adding that success hinges on the support of agency inspectors general, the Government Accountability Office and Congress.
Furthermore, leaders should look within their agencies for solutions instead of automatically turning to outside contractors when qualified federal employees are available, Stack said.
"It's millions of dollars," she added. "It's only recently we stepped back and realized we've got resources in the agencies -- people who have all the skills at much lower costs."
In addition, agencies often waste money hiring contractors to address specific issues when experts at other agencies could have provided a solution, Stack said during a keynote speech at the IBM Government Analytics Forum on May 22 in Washington.
Analytics in government can look like a chicken-and-egg scenario. "First you run your program, and then you create some analytical capability," she said. "When you finally do analysis, it's often in crisis mode, and you go and hire a contractor and it costs a lot of money."
Agencies should build their internal analytical and evaluation capacity and then demonstrate the value of it to garner the support of Congress and GAO, she added.
She acknowledged that the situation is not very different at OMB, where she runs a small team that could be thought of as discretionary because it isn't mission-critical.
"We face the same struggles," Stack said.

Political Robocallers Indicted In Maryland 85

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I think it shows their contempt for the democratic process and as a result they should be banned from government functions for several years. They're trying to undermine the fundamentals of their country!
Any politico worth his salt knows that robocalls, no matter how many and who is talking, do nothing but piss the electorate off at you.
In this case, people from party A were calling supporters of party B, claiming to be from party B. So, if the electorate got pissed at party B, they would consider that a success.
That's the really dirty part! The messages implied that they came from his opposition!
There were robocallers that were calling people like 3am in the morning...paid for by the opposing party pretending to be the other party here in Canada to piss people off from voting for them.
I helped a couple campaigns get a correcting message out in the last federal election when someone dialed a bunch of homes with the lie: "This is elections Canada, there has been a change in your polling station, please go to X to vote". Typically the fake poll was in the middle of a crowded mall or some other difficult to reach place, I'd assume the goal being to dissuade the voter or delay them until voting ended.
Politics in close ridings can be dirty business, and it's ultimately the Candidate and their
IMO any attempts to interfere with the voting process in a way that prevents people from voting for the candidate they want should result in a ban from all political functions for several years. It's unacceptable to undermine the very foundation of a republic and then expect to be a legitimate government agent.

I love the Morning Show because it can be the latest release or music going back to the early twentieth century. It can be the slowest, prettiest song or the fastest, rockingest song, and everything in between.
I often create theme shows, whether it's a tribute to a great year in music...or a study through music of aging or nostalgia or quiet desperation...or parent-child relations or male-female roles. Do you have an idea for a theme show?
