kaipow's General Tip
Fondest memory: Snowboarded for my first time at Wolf Mountain. It was a warm day with hard conditions. Gave myself a mild concussion even though I was on the bunny slopes. I was sore as hell the next day, especially my neck from falling on my ass and getting whiplash. I had a great time though!
Park City is home to the 2002...
Favorite thing: Park City is home to the 2002 Olympic Bobsleigh & Skeleton events, as well as the Giant Slalom, Luge, Ski Jumping & Freestyle Skiing. If you visit Park City, you have to stop by Winter Park to see the teams practicing.
Favorite thing: Definatly seeing all of the moose just casually strolling around. There was one in the backyard of the house I stayed at!

Film Review: Identity (2003)
SYNOPSIS: Stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rainstorm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realize that they're being killed off one by one. REVIEW: The 2003 theatrical debut of "Identity" was a slam dunk for movie plotlines. I remember seeing this one live and thinking, "wow! what a brilliant film that I couldn't wait to tell others about".

REVIEW: Directed By: Ariel Vromen Starring: Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, Chris Evans, Ray Liotta, David Schwimmer Ariel Vromen's portrayal of the serial killer Richard Kuklinski is dark, gritty and at times an animalistic look at the sociopath's struggle to balance his … Continue reading

Film Review: The River Murders (2011)
SYNOPSIS: A homicide detective, Ray Liotta, while investigating a series of murders becomes the prime suspect when the FBI uncovers his close personal ties to all the victims. REVIEW: One of my all-time favorite films is Martin Scorcese's "Goodfellas". That film made me a life-long Ray Liotta fan. He has had a bit of a rocky career, even sometimes going WAY over the top or being WAY out of place ("In The Name of the … Continue reading

These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she Interests Groups attempted to speak directly to God, she says, "It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a Happy New Year!

Help me chose my bathroom sinks
Here's the sinks I'm considering:
Kohler Escale..$350+
Kohler Cimarron (approx $100):
Kohler Kelston (approx $100):
Another view of the Kelston:
Seems in our build I'm really liking the square look of things, so I'd like to go with rectangular-ish sinks in the bathrooms. We'll need 2 in the master bath, 1 in the mudroom bath, and 2 in the kids bath.
I love the look of the escale but is it really worth 3x as much as the others?!?! I'll probably put the cheaper, eheh, more economically priced, sinks in the mudroom bath and kids bath (probably the Kelston), but am seriously considering dishing out the extra $ for the master. Will I regret it? Anyone have any reviews on these sinks? Like, dislike?
Oh I like those--both the escale and the Kelston. Only you can decide if the add'l cost of the escale is worth it to you. Although the escale and the Kelston are quite similar, there is obviously something you like better about the escale (I'm all about noticing subtle differences in things).
In the grand scheme of things, will the extra $250/sink for two sinks for the MB break the bank, so to speak? If not, and if the escale will make you smile whenever you see it in your MB, then it might be worth the splurge. When DH and I did any of our reno's, if the cost of an item was negligible compared to, or just a fraction of the overall cost of the project, and we really liked it better than our other option(s), then we went for it.
We of course didn't do that for every item (we certainly don't have unlimited funds!). Instead, like many others here, saving on "X" afforded us the ability to splurge on "Y."
Go for the one you fell in love with! It's not like the difference between a $1000 tub and a $4000 tub, in the overall remodel cost it's really not that much. We have undermount sinks and went back and forth between a toto sink and another one for around $100 less, we went with the Toto and have no regrets for spending the extra money. I found the Escale for $333 with free shipping see link
Here is a link that might be useful: Escale Sink
I think the Escale is lovely. Speaking of subtle differences between sinks, the two pictures you posted of the Kelston are not the same sink. One looks like it has 4" centers; the other has 8" centers. If I were going to splurge on the Escale in the MB (and I would!), I would then choose the Kelston with 8" centers so they'd be more alike. Before deciding, I would measure and compare the useful water depth; the Kelston looks very shallow from your pictures. Just my $.02
I haven't used these particular sinks, but I've used similar shallow sinks and the splash back factor drives me nuts. Maybe it's just the guy in me to always turn the faucet on full, but I rarely leave a bathroom without some splash back on my pants or shirt with these types of sinks.

borrowed ideas
Does anyone else ever look at stuff on eBay and get ideas?
I don't have the imagination so many of you crafters do, so I need all the help I can get. LOL.
I saw two cute Fall things on there now that really appealed to me. Especially since some of you make your own grapevine wreaths. I am not sure I can post two links in a message so may have to do the bottles in another.
Here is a link that might be useful: vine house
Here are the cute lighted bottles that I liked how the decor was done.
Let me know if sharing eBay stuff isn't a good idea and I won't do it again.
Here is a link that might be useful: lighted bottles
I do! I do look at ebay and Etsy for a lot of my ideas..and to check the pricing. I like that house shaped wreath. I'm betting I can make myself a wreath that doesn't have to be round...because I have this half moon shaped leaded window in my new front door. Maybe a rectangle or square one :) Thanks for a different wreath idea. My husband wants a clear storm door, and I wouldn't let him get it because I'd just made a round grapevine wreath that would have to go if he put one up. I used these nice realistic looking magnolias, some purple/blue tiny flowers,some gold colored queen annes lace and a whole roll of blue wire edged ribbon! LOL I know I know, I could've taken it down for the door, but ...nah:)
I like the idea of sharing ideas from ebay..keep it up:)
I tried my hand at the lighted wine bottles. I made one with the cord coming out over the top, then the DH insisted on getting a drill bit for a hole in the bottom for making the lights come out. I think it was Oddie who made all the wonderful wine bottle lights that were my first inspiration, and I've since bought things for making the bottle lights. I think they're just beautiful:)
Here are instructions for a wreath shaped like a square window with panes. Scroll down about 3/4 of the page. It could be dressed up for any occasion.
Here is a link that might be useful: Four Calling Bird Wreath
kudzu, keep firm on that NO storm door. LOL. Can't have those ugly ol' things messing up your decor. Men, just have to be practical don't they?
Adella, I like that wreath. And bookmarked the site to browse more. Thanks for sharing it.
love those winebottle lights you posted, sooo cute, been thinking what about useing the glass jugs insted of winebottles, would go with the fall decorating, and could be painted on also, maybe some sunflowers or something so you dont see all the lights, just a idea to throw out.
always looking for ideas myself and yes most are borrowed!
would love to see photos of your lights.
Happy Crafting
Karen,thx for posting these neat ideas. I really like them. The little ghost house is so cute and would be easy to do! And I love the light bottles, I done those last year for Christmas, they looked so neat. Please don't ever stop posting all the delightful ideas that you find, we all love them and appreciate you sharing them with us!
If you like making wreaths, you can get some wonderful ideas on making them at Michaels Craft Store. They have so many of them on display. When I go in there, all I can do is stand there and look at each and every one of them. Color jumps out at you everywhere in that store. I was in there today, and they have their Christmas picks out. There's so many that it makes it hard (at least for me) to choose what to buy. It's like my mind is on overload!!
They also made some cute critters using those artificial (foam?) pumpkins. I wish I had half the imagination that some people have, and a mind to help me remember what all I saw LOL.
I think once someone posts a picture of their craft on the internet, it's fair game and they should expect people to look at it, copy it, get ideas from it. Craft blogs are another great place to not only get ideas, but read tutorials on some items. I love finding free patterns and ideas, almost more than I like making things! lol
I'm only sorry that the ebayers aren't getting more money for their things, at $9.99 and $6.99, they can't possibly be making any money, especially after they pay listing and final fees, PayPal fees, take the time to make the listing, etc. For that little dab, I'd much rather sell to a shop directly or do craft shows.

Pycnanthemum pycnanthemoides
lepalotSeptember 5, 2006
Does anyone know of any sources of Pycnanthemum pycnanthemoides, the Southern Mountain Mint? Is this the large flowered variety common in Calloway Gardens in Georgia? The plant I'm looking for is not Pycnanthemun incanum, the Hoary Mountain Mint.
I don't know if the particular plant you are looking for has any synonyms, and I don't know where you are located in PA, but Redbud Native Nursery, located in Edgemont (right outside of Media) has two Pycnanthemums listed on the plant list: P. muticum (mountain mint) and P. tenuifolium (narrow-leaf mint). I also know that she is constantly updating her stock, based on client's demands/suggestions... Good luck.

Evaluating Shade Groundcovers
I'm considering using all three of these ground covers in an area with high, afternoon shade, under decidious trees (sugar and red maple, black locust, wild cherry): Waldsteinia fragarioides, Pachysandra procumbens, and Chrysogonum virginianum. I will be adding larger perennials, such as hosta, daylilies, salvias, etc.
Please share your thoughts and experience:-) How well will they do planted together? How will they do with the larger perennials? How well will they supress weeds when they get established? Will afternoon shade be enough shade for them?
I had what I believe was Pachysandra procumbens growing wild at my previous house (in middle GA, zone 8). It did fine in almost full shade under pines, oaks, maples, and redbud. If you're planning on putting the daylilies in the same area, be forewarned. The daylilies (depending on the species) most likely will not bloom, or bloom much, in anything less than full sun.
garden4wildlife, thanks for the imput on the Pachysnadra. I was just wondering if I had "enough" shade for it:-) The area is on the east side of the trees and gets morning sun up until about 1 to 2 p.m. Since we live in a "holler-hollow- cove- valley" (depending on where you live!), the sun doesn't actually hit the area until about 8 a.m. so about 6 hours of sunlight. I wonder if that's enough for daylilies to bloom well?
I don't know if that will be enough shade for those ground covers, but as far as the daylilies, you might get some blooms (though possibly not as large or colorful as they would be in full sun). I suggest you either stick to the species daylilies or use Stella D'Oro...the species and Stella tend to do better in shade and other less-than-perfect growing conditions than the showy, newer hybrids. They also are extremely common, and therefore very cheap! The ones that have bloomed for me with only a half day of sun are the common "ditch lily" Hemerocallis fulva, H. fulva 'Kwanso' which is a double version, H. flava, H. fulva, and Stella D'Oro. One word of caution with daylilies, though...they are considered invasive in some areas. But there's a very simple way to stop this. Just break off the seed pods before they ripen and split open. *Usually* daylilies don't get a whole lot of seed pods unless you hand pollinate them, and they ripen quite slowly so it shouldn't be too big of a job unless you're planning to plant an entire field of them (in which case I suggest finding something native instead, since daylilies have very little wildlife benefit). They're actually edible, so while you're preventing them from spreading, at the same time you can be collecting the pods for a side dish! Just pick them fairly young so that the seeds will still be soft, and you can sautee them in a little butter...it's not bad. Likewise, if the plants themselves multiply too much, you can control them by digging them up and eating them...the leaves, flowers, and buds are also edible, raw or cooked. The roots are edible, too, but there have been a small number of reports about a toxin in the roots that seems to affect a few people more than others, so you might want to avoid those just to be safe.
garden4wildlife, thanks! I was hoping to grow some of my pretty cultivars planted in "vignettes" with other plants. I think I'll post a question on the Daylily Forum and see if anybody can reccommend some cultivars that can bloom with less sun.
I haven't eaten the tubers and they were good, just a lot of trouble to get clean because I tried them in the fall and they were pretty shriveled. i had read about the possible toxins and now I'm afraid to eat the tubers:-) I plan to try the buds, etc though.
If you get 6 hours of mid day sun that is considered full sun in a technical sense. I have daylillies growing under forsythia (didn't start that way but the forsythia didn't understand my plans) and they only get about 5 hours of sun and still bloom well.
Have you considered wild ginger (asarum canadense?) as a groundcover alternative?
I agree with Arborbluffgirl..wild ginger would be a fine ground cover, and other plants can grow up through it.
Daylily buds taste like green beans..sauteed in a little butter, onion and garlic, a pinch of salt a dash of freshly cracked pepper...YUM! Some people lightly batter the blossoms and fry them, too. Haven't tried that myself.
I think that an eastern exposure would be fine for the species you mentioned. April
Dieter2NC, that's encouraging information! All the trees in this spot are limbed up quite high.
ArborBluffGirl & April, I hadn't thought of wild ginger! I do have some in another spot. I think I'll that some to my ground cover mix.
I'll have to try those daylily buds! You make them sound delicious.
A few things to think about for ground cover....what "wildlife" to you have around? I love the wild ginger, but slugs sure do like it. I'm just starting a woodland garden myself and I'm trying to find a ground cover or two...I'm thinking of geranium macrorrhizum and sweet woodruff, to name a couple. My main concern...what's rabbit proof, deer proof, slug proof and can take both wet and dry. This year we're pretty dry, but I've seen it very wet, as well...just depends on the rainfall.
Mary, Good thought! Slugs so far, have not been a problem. We do have lots of rabbits though and deer. The deer seem to be staying out of the yard since we got a dog though. I think sweet woodruff is so pretty but was worried about it being invasive. I know it spreads around but I don't know if it matters LOL! Can other woodland plants grow up through it OK? I hadn't though of geraniums either. And I have some in other spots!
I have a couple of beds of daylilies; all grow well but do not bloom equally. As you might suspect, the greater amounts of direct sun, the greater the number of blooms. My site has pictures: under terrace gardens are daylilies in just about full sun; driveway garden has daylilies in bright shade with only 1-2 hours of direct sun; pics at my site show both beds at their heights of bloom time. Full sun also yields much fuller plants.
Pachysandra seems to do better, too, with some sun, but I wouldnÂt plant daylilies among them; the pachy grows too dense. That said, you might try it anyway. Sweet woodruff among daylilies (despite their different bloom times) might be nice in less than full sun.
I put in Waldensteinia fragroides last fall and it took well and is blooming now. I like it so much I am going to get more! It is very low-growing and spreads nicely but not terribly. I have it around some large stone steps, with trilliums and Siberian Squill bulbs. Of course, I live in the North (my garden is in zone 4 NH) and my area is mostly shade so i don't know how well it will do for you. But for me it is a really nice little groundcover.
Don, absolutely stunning pictures!!! Thank you for sharing them. I "think" my daylilies would be getting 5 or 6 hours of sun.
aspringer, I like the idea of planting the waldensteinia around stone steps too! Eventually I'll have some stone steps in another part of the yard. Thanks for the good idea.
It's true that daylillies might not bloom as much in shade as they do in sun, but they still bloom nicely when compared to many other shade plants. I have a beautiful daylilly bed that only gets about 3-4 hours of direct morning sun and light shade the rest of the day. It blooms just fine. Getting more shade tolerant varieties may be a good idea, but I have always just bought what I liked and everything has bloomed fine for me. I have 30+ different varieties of daylilly in this situation. Well that has been my experience with daylillies anyways. -Ais.
I really like Chrysogonum for a groundcover, but varieties vary quite a bit on how far a plant will spread. The least aggressive in my experience is v. australe, which spreads very gently. For gangbuster groundcovering ability, the standout I've seen is 'Eco Laquered Spider', which will spread 4 feet across in a season.
Pachysandra procumbens doesn't seem to grow as densely as the Asian species, so it may not shade out other plants as much as you might wish. But you can intersperse other natives with it and get a pleasing look. I saw pachysandra patches interspersed with swaths of smilacena and tiarella in the woods just the other day and made a mental design note because it looked so good.
ais and creatrix, thanks so much for the encouraging words about the daylilies. I'm happy to know that you are both having good blooms with even less sun than mine will have so mine should do fine.
soeur, thank you for the information. I didn't even realize there were different varieties of Chrysogonum!! I'll have to do a search.
I have to go to hortiplex and see what waldensteinia looks like...don't think I know it. But in my mostly shady yard, I also use some varieties of Pulmonaria, Iris cristada (a favorite because it spreads so readily but can be pulled out if needed), Epimedium, Alchemilla (especially the dwarf), Dicentra Luxuriant, exima and formosa and well as tiarella. I like the mix of different things and also then don't end up with nothing if there's a bad winter or a blight of some kind. For instance, winter before last I lost every smidge of Ajuga in the yard plus all but a couple of really sheltered Pulmonaria longifolia. Sure glad there were other things around!
The native pachysandra goes very nicely with native ferns. It kind of drapes itself gracefully around the ferns. Nice. Ginger might be too short to use in combination with these. Tiarella or heuchera might also work. Clumps of solomon's seal might also be a good complement in terms of height. I would not plant hosta or daylilies, which are not native. Daylilies spread right into woodlands.
Our property had lilies in medium shade along one fence. They were very tall and spindly and leaned over the fence toward the the best sun of the day which for them was sunset. For some reason those lilies hosted tons of mosquitos. Brushing the plants could stir up a cloud in mid summer. They did bloom though. I finally dug them out to get rid of the mosquitos. Farther along the fence we have a thick patch of lily of the valley. Tall ferns have moved into that patch. It is very beautiful, with the dark green lily of the valley covering the ground, and lighter green ferns waving like plumes waist high and higher. I dont know what came first the lily of the valley or the ferns but it is lovely
I wonder if waplummer was getting at the mix/appearance of native groundcovers with ornamental/non-native plants? I dunno.
The plants I have here are so dense that I don't think they are generally considered "ground cover" but they are dense enough that they form a cover anyway. I'm in 5b/6a hardiness zone and our plants were here when we bought the lot to build on. They are Blue Cohash (12" tall), Trout Lily (4-6" tall) and Jack in the Pulpits (4-12" tall). The ground is so thick with them that it produces a natural ground cover. I think I have a photo from earlier in the spring:
This is in late April
And this is now (May):
Ontario, CANADA
susan6, that's too bad about your ajuga. I like the idea of a mix and i have all the plants you mentioned except epimedium. I've been wanting to get some of that.
Elaine, I agree about not planting daylilies in my woodland. Never!! :-) But my whole point in this border I'm contemplating is to showcase my daylilies in pleasing groupings in an effort to sell more. We have a small daylily farm. So it will be a display bed. I wanted to include the groundcovers to help crowd out weeds. i think i will put the pachysandra in the woodland with the other natives esp. ferns.
flowerkitty, your shady area sounds lovely! My daylily display area will get several hours of morning sun so I think they will be OK
Barb, thanks for sharing those lovely pictures. That looks like a perfect spot to relax and read a good book!
The typical orange daylillies (aka ditchlillies) are the thugs. The nicer hybrids I have found to stay in well behaved clumps, and only a few volunteers have popped up from seed. I have had them for years with no problems. Just wanted to draw a distinction... -Ais.
the Hostas even the small varieties will form larger and larger clumps and drown the Waldstenia and chrysogonum. The pachysandra should fare somewhat better, but it is fairly slow to spread. Daylilies with morning sun and high afternoon shade. They too will form large clumps. I have not grown Salvia. Grew daylilies initially, but decided I wanted something else. I have several varieties of the small Hosta and just today dug them up, divided them and will plant them at church where they can do their thing. I am using Waldstenia as a ground cover. I have an almost solid mat of Chrysogonum between stepping stones that run from the front lawn, on the north side of the house and to the back woods. it is a tremendous sight - my "green and gold" carpet.You might have too mcuh sun for some of the suggestions. I use Asarum canadensis and A. europeum, tiarella, Mitella, Mayapple, Symphytum grandiflora, Meconopsis cambrica, Stylophorum both grandidlora and lanceolatum, Dicentas, Hylomecon japonicum, Bloodroot, Twinleaf, Trillium, Disporum, Cimicifuga, Caulophyllum and some others as groundcoves. Nobody, nobody mentioned using ferns in your site. Veganfirl, you dan't take my opinion or anybody else's opinion as to waht will work for you. If the hosta, daylilies and coleus work for you, go for it.
Ais, I agree about the daylilies! All the ones I would plant in this border would be hybrids.
Waplummer, thanks for sharing your ideas. I would love to see your green & gold carpet. I'll bet it is pretty. I don't want my little groundcovers to be smothered out so I guess I'll come up with something else for that border. Coleus? Not there:-)
As mentioned, the purpose of this border is to display daylilies and to show how to combine them with other perennials, etc in an effort to entice people to buy:-) The groundcovers are a secondary consideration in an effort to reduce weeding. We will mulch, of course, but someday, we would like to get into selling all of the types of plants in the border and would like to get folks interested in each of them.
My favorite groundcovers for shade are:
- Phlox divaricata,or woods phlox. Mine gets a little sun, mostly high shade with afternoon shadow. Soft blue-violet flowers dance delicately in the breeze at 8" in the spring, the rest of the year it is a mat of 1-2" bright green pointed leaves that pretty much stay all winter.
- Tiarella cordata. Foamflower. There are many new cultivars, my favorite is "Running Tapestry" It's a little slower to spread in the dry shade than the Phlox.
- Epimedium. Lots of subtly different vatieties. Slow to establish but hard as nails once its in.
These are all natives, not just to the USA, but to your area as well. I grow all of these and really enjoy them. As groundcovers, they cover the ground well and over several seasons, and take a bit of stepping on without croaking (not regular traffic, though, a lawn they are not.)
I have been looking for Chrysogonum virginiana seed, enough for about 600 sq. feet of shrub border. Would love a mix of the different varieties Soeur mentioned. Does anyone know where I could get some? I can buy it if it's not available for swap.
A really pretty garden I buy daylilies from has different varieties of Geraniums (Cranesbills) between the sections of different lilies. They form beautifully regular mounds, bloom at different times, and in various colors. But the best thing about them is their textural contrast to the strappy foliage of the daylilies. Some Geraniums have wonderfully colored fall foliage, too. Good luck with these.
I want to try growing Wintergreen, Gaultheria procumbens, as well. I observed it in the woods while serving as a counselor at Natural Resources Carreers Camp in July. It was most beautiful under pines, shiny, dark green leaves running over the pine needles like lace placemats.
I was really impressed by Barb's garden pix in the thread- Good Work! It's beautiful.
All the best,
Connie, I love Phlox divaricata too!! I bought a couple of different geraniums this spring and I'm getting more and more interested in them. That's a neat idea about putting them between the daylily sections! Thanks for all the good ideas. I'll have to check out that other thread. I don't know about Chrysogonum seed. I bought mine as plants.
Two fabulous groundcovers for me - not sure if they are hardy elsewhere - are Oxalis oreganum and a couple of the shade-loving saxifrages: S. umbrosa primuloides, S. X urbium (London Pride), and S. stolonifera which most people know as a houseplant, strawberry begonia. Also no one has mentioned Geranium macrorhizum. Very tough.
Chrysoplenium is also quite cute and vigorous when happy.
I've also just gotten a little one called Coptis something or other, which is very drought tolerant and attractive so far.
Partridgeberry is a lovely ground cover and a good protection for spring ephemerals. Labrador violets have pretty purple tinged leaves.
I have a pretty variegated leaf wood phlox called Montrose Tricolor which until recently was the only wood phlox the slugs did not destroy.

steps on a slope
Nothing good is ever cheap AND easy, but I'd like to be as close as possible.
We have a small slope in our backyard, rises only 3-4 feet(it itself is about 5 feet), but it extends quite aways. You can get up it fairly easily, but it isn't exactly walking. We need 2-3 steps, but I guess it could have more. There is another way up it, but it's about 60 feet long and the way up is at the end of those 60 feet. We're about to plant it, so we want to add a second way. Hopefully that all makes sense.
Do you have any suggestions for what we should do - I don't want it to be TOO intensive, my husband agrees it should be done, but is more doing it for me. I'll help as I can, but we've got three kids - the oldest turned three in January and the youngest is almost two months, so I'm not a ton of help right now.
Thanks very much!
With three little kids, it seems like you could have some fun with some steps for climbing and jumping. If you go straight up, making the bottom step broader than the top exaggerates the rise, adding drama and making it into an instant focal point. Do you live in an area where you might find some free stone? Fun to work with, always looks good. Or, you could frame the steps with big landscaping timbers held in place with rebar stakes, and then fill the treads with pea gravel.
As long as you start at the bottom and work your way up, 3-4 steps is a very doable project.

WANTED: Group exchange in Utica/Rome area?
Hi all -- I know there are at least a few members who live/work in the Utica/Rome area and I'm wondering if there is interest in a group plant swap?
I have far too much in my garden beds and have been digging out plants... I feel bad just letting them die, especially if others would really like them. So far I've tossed sea holly, coreopsis, and echinacea -- all really good plants, but I just have too much! I still have tons more digging to do so I'd rather have them go to someone who'd love them. Maybe there's interest in a group exchange? or maybe there's someone who would help dig in exchange for plants?.
I know your post is from two years ago, but if you see this, I am in your area and am interested in trades and can even bring help for digging if needed! I know the feeling of plants dying off when I know someone would have loved them if only I knew that person!! I have a ridiculous amount of Jade because I cant let the "leaves" die off, I have to plant them in a different pot and now overwhelmed with it!! But, I do have quite a few different plants (indoors & outside) or even seeds to trade.
Hello Kim and ridgetop -- just saw these posts. Maybe this year. lol! I know I have some hostas that need dividing (Striptease, for sure!)... have tons that needs to be dug/split or cut back (siberian iris, phlox, pulmonaria, etc), but I just don't have a back for digging anymore. Gardening does that to you. lol!

Reported in Nature Materials, we demonstrate the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) to quantitatively derive the energy landscape of modular rupture and refolding of our titin-mimicking polymer. This is the first example of a direct correlation between nano-mechanical properties and bulk mechanical performance using the energy landscape derived from SMFS. The report demonstrates the potential for SMFS to serve as a guide for rational design of advanced multifunctional materials.
