Why do we need smaller kitchens?
I have not been active on the forum lately - perhaps because my kitchen renovation is complete. But I LOVE looking at kitchens and learn so much from the discussions so I am back!
I thought since there was a recent discussion "Why do we need larger kitchens?" I would pose a counterpoint since I don't relate to the needing of a large kitchen. In fact, we considered knocking down walls and expanding our kitchen (an many owners in our building do), but opted against it for a number of personal reasons. Below are my reasons for a smaller kitchen - curious about what others think!
I have a small kitchen because...
(1) Smaller is more efficient and cosy - everything in within reach.
(2) We don't need more stuff.
(3) There is a smaller footprint (energy and space).
(4) We can afford it.
(5) We could use our budget for upgrades instead of more items.
(6) The space matches our two-working-parents/urban lifestyle of buying food fresh and frequently and cooking simple meals from scratch daily.
(7) We want to eat/relax/entertain in a different space than we cook.
(8) This is OUR kitchen. I am not worried about the next owners or what others have to say.
I also like my small galley kitchen.
Yup, all good reasons.
We seriously considered the possibilities for expanding our kitchen space. In the end, none were practical or even more desirable than what we already had. We used the same (small) footprint, made it more efficient, and couldn't be happier with the result.
I took down a wall, but didn't expand the kitchen. I did, however, expand the dining room a bit, because before it was a pass thru from the front door to the actual, used living space.
Now it's off set, with that wall moved back. One comes into a foyer, hub-type area instead.
But a bigger kitchen? We didn't need it and now, living on my own? I sure don't. I barely cook. For one isn't much incentive to do so.
Before I started planning this kitchen renovation, I thought I needed a bigger kitchen. But on a whim one day, I cleared out a cabinet and got rid of all the pots and pans I never use. What an eyeopener! I followed up by going through my whole kitchen, weeding out and reorganizing, and I realized that my kitchen is not only plenty big enough, but also highly efficient. I love a step-and-pivot style kitchen!
brooklyngalley -- your kitchen was one of the first finished kitchens I saw after discovering GW. I loved it then and I love it now!
I had a fairly large kit in my previous home. Here I have a galley kitchen now and I love working in it. Very efficient, everything is within steps. I did save a part in the gathering part of the L shaped room so I could have a large pantry but we find we don't need it. Now thinking a wood stove.
I really like and am enjoying my 13x13 kitchen (plus social/table area), with its long L counter and nice island, but I also know my next kitchen will be smaller.
By today's standards this isn't a large one, but DH and I still manage to mess up approximately 30' of counter each day. I didn't imagine this could be possible before we lived with it, but yes. Apparently for the same reason people climb Everest--because it's there. He makes his lunch on the refrigerator side of the island and his toast on the 4' to the left of the stove. I prep on the stove side of the island, then turn and mess up the right stove counter. Then there's the cleanup counter, which itself has two areas--3' left of the sink, 3' to the right.
!!!!!!, one for each of the 6 areas, any one of which would make a nice prep area in a smaller kitchen.
Just returned from North and South Carolina - visited Biltmore -now that is one large kitchen - well several kitchens and pantries. I would never be able to find anything!!!
I like my smaller kitchen - maybe larger than some but definitely not as large as many. 3 steps across the kitchen - no island (thought I wanted one but not wide enough) - and nothing to trip over.
11 feet wide and a bit longer than wide.
Just finished our kitchen - just need to take final pictures.
If I could take what I have and make it into a galley or u shape, allowing another drawer stadk, I could actually decrease the footprint a little. But as it is, I'm a little stuck due to doors, and it's the only place for a table.
In my sometime in the future home we are going to build, I'd like a smallish efficient kitchen with a breakfast nook full of windows and a small, but walk in size pantry.
Definitely like the less to clean aspect. That's what keeps me from covetng all the gorgeous kitchens and baths on this place! They are fantastic, but I wouldn't want to clean them! I'm too lazy.
Brooklyngalley's kitchen is one of my absolute favorite before/after kitchens ever. Having never lived in a city I would feel a bit crowded and want another foot or so in each direction, but I'm sure if I was accustomed to city life it would be perfect! And the planning/efficiency is inspiring.
Like Christine, we removed 2 walls, but kept the same footprint. The kitchen size per se did not change, but it seems so much larger because it is open to the dining room area now. And it is SO much more efficient than the old floorplan. I find that the increased efficiency also makes the kitchen seem larger.
So for us, anything larger would probably be superfluous.
We did make our kitchen bigger but it still isn't very big. We could have gone bigger but then I would have had to clean more mess and I have an aversion to that. A well-planned small kitchen is so much nicer and more functional than a poorly-planned big kitchen. And a big kitchen - well a big kitchen is just a big kitchen and I would rather devote the space to a roomy eating area or a convivial visiting area.
I posted this in the previous thread on larger kitchens, but it perhaps is even more relvant here. I have a book from 1935 on home remodeling and repair. The section on kitchens is titled "The Efficient Kitchen." It starts off with a list of questions for the homeowner to consider in assessing his or her present kitchen. Here is an excerpt. I am starting with the FIRST question:
Is your kitchen too large? Can it be reduced in size and some other use made of the space that is gained?
Is the present equipment grouped so that the minimum number of steps required to move from one working center to another?
Then, after some expository material, there is another relevant section:
The average kitchen in the older house, even one that is fifteen or twenty years old, is larger than is required to meet the needs of today. It may have been laid out when domestic labor was plentiful and wages low. It may have been planned to measure up tot he needs of a larger family.
Generally, all large kitchens are less efficient than smaller ones. Home economics experts and household engineers are agreed on the finding that a kitchen floor space of from 90 to 100 square feet is ample for the average family living in a house of six or seven rooms. [Emphasis in original.]
So, there you have it. The 1935 view is that it is for efficiency!
My kitchen is 8x14. I used to think it was quite small. With a good layout, it seems to me to be a good size. If I had my 'druthers, I think I would make it just a bit bigger. The only thing I would like that I really had no room for was a second sink.
What is the average kitchen size today? When we started the remodel planning for our 1940s adobe ranch, we really thought we would build a new addition for the kitchen. In the end we ended up staying within the old kitchen layout.. Which gave us a 18x10 galley with 2 doors and an additional 7x10 area for a small kitchen table.. It feels big enough in theory.. Will know more in a few weeks.
We're downsizing from a 2200+ sq ft.,4 BR house that (I can't keep up with and am not particularly interested in trying to anymore) to a 1200 sq ft. house with an 11x15 kitchen. Our whole idea is to be able to spend more of our time (and money) doing things other than 'housekeeping'. Seems that the 'bigger and bigger' boom is waning and I'm glad to be downsizing soon. I walk so much in my current, inefficient kitchen and am really, really looking forward to my next GW planned efficient, smaller kitchen and house. On a related note, anyone that has spent time in an RV knows about how much kitchen you 'need', lol.
Brooklyn, can you post a link to your kitchen? Would love to see it. I love a galley kitchen or U shape. Love the efficiency of it and also the step/turn and everything close at hand. No island to walk around. I also cleaned out my cabinets, got rid of pots and pans never used at the advice of a poster here and mounds of tupperware type containers, collected plastic cups and mugs. What a relief getting rid of all that stuff. Also duplicate blenders and small appliances and saved boxes from cell phones etc. Sheesh! That stuff can really pile up.
Here's a link to brooklyngalley's reveal. Love it!
Here is a link that might be useful: Brooklyngalley's kitchen
Plus a million to justmakeit's post above. The "kitchen cure" at the Apartment Therapy site kick-started a series of improvements that have changed my cooking forever, by making me much happier with the kitchen I have.
Moving out the equipment and utensils I never used and re-organizing so that the things I do use are close at hand made the kitchen feel more spacious and more intimate at the same time.
That paved the way for further improvements in work flow inspired by reading this forum. [One example: reversing the hinges on the fridge, so that it opens toward a worktable/landing area. Who knew?] The effect was to concentrate the prep and cooking areas into a smaller area of the room and open up the non-cooking end of the room -- once again, more intimate and more spacious at the same time.
Discovering that I didn't really need more storage or workspace helped me see that the most serious productivity bottleneck of the kitchen was the sink. The Kitchen forum opened my eyes to the many possibilities in that sector, but even more crucially provided discussion of members' real-life experiences that enabled me to decide which choices made the most sense for me.
Only four years ago the kitchen felt cramped and unwieldy despite its size (14 x 17). Now it's a more comfortable and functional space in every way -- without any structural changes.
It's not just a matter of affording it when you build . . . A small kitchen allows you to make a change later on (say updating the countertops or replacing a floor that's wearing out) without breaking the bank. In contrast, making any change in my current kitchen costs a fortune.
My kitchen is a 10x10 G-shape in my 1200 sq.ft. house. Everything's at my fingertips. Got a nice big window and good light. I even removed a run of upper cabs and soffit over my peninsula and don't miss the lost storage space. Actually, I had them hang the old cabinets in my garage filled with rarely used stuff.

Ozarkers locations
I think it is time to start a new thread on where we live and garden. The last one was great, like going down memory lane.
So who is with us now and where do you live. This is for those of you who live away from the Ozarks,too, and read the forum here for nostalgic reasons.
I'll start. I live in southeast Springfield and have gardened for the last forty years.
Thanks, Anise. I checked the Missourian's thread, but it appears to be all Missouri.
I live in the 'moumtains',( Gaither Mountain), southwest of Harrison,Arkansas. Been here 30 years, with the past 23 up here. I am formerly from Idaho. DH is a native Arkansan.
I have gardened for over 50 years.
Our acreage was undeveloped woods when we bought it. DH did all the building, I did all the gardening.
Age, ailments, and other drawbacks, have narrowed my gardening down to mostly containers, and most of them are on the back deck to keep them away from the many deer that inhabit our woods!
I still do all the mowing, weedeating, pruning, watering, etc., etc.
I have 30 acres on a mountaintop in Northern Johnson CO. AR 8 mi North of Ozone AR. Our land is mostly hardwoods.
DH and i grew up in Mena.Lived in Virginia,Mass,Turkey than Texas. Moved here in 1990.
Am now a widow and DD lives next door. Have been gardening since a teenager. Am 67.
I am changing over to container gardening since i've health problems.
Besides gardening i enjoy reading,crafts, crocheting and quilting.
Anise - I'm glad you started this thread. There used to be one for Arkansas and it got too old and got deleted I think. It had 100 replies and they used to lock them after they had that many but don't do that anymore.
I have 10 acres a few miles west of Springfield, Missouri. We keep about 1 1/2 acres mowed for our yard and the rest is used for hay.
i live in yellville, ar. been here almost a yr to the day. yellville is SE from harrison about 28 miles and west of mountain home which is about 28 miles also. population here is around 1300. dead as a doornail!
have gardened off and on for about 38 yrs and have gardened all over the US and china.
it is so rocky here you cannot till. everything we have is in a raised bed.
Batesville, AR on the banks of the beautiful White River. Dad moved us here from KS when I was 8 and I'll be 68 next month. Have lived other places for periods of time but think I'll stay here for the rest of my life this time. Was raised on a farm, so I've been playing in the dirt forever.
Hi ya'll. I live on the edge of Beaver Lake close to the dam. We've lived on this property since 92 and that's when I started gardening. After a few years and many $$$ I gave up because the deer just ate everything. My husband has a fenced tomato garden, but all my flowers are in pots on the back deck. I'll be 65 in Sept. and have Lupus and arthritis so that's enough for me now. Yesterday one of our neighbors had a bear come up on his porch. Hope it moves on.
I live in Springfield, Mo.
New to gardening, but been around it all my life. My mother was a fuss-budget about hauling everything out to compost. I generally carried it out. Never understood what that was all about, however.
Mom had the greatest gardens in both places they lived in Springfield. She is still with us at 90!
I'm in Harrison-- grew up here, moved away for college & afterwards, spent four years in central Florida, and returned home to raise babies near their grandparents.
I did a lot of gardening in Florida (no rocks, basically digging in sand) and am absolutely dumbfounded by how difficult it is to dig here. Layered composting had better work well, or I'm destined to grow my gardens VERY slowly-- with a toddler and a baby on the way, hours of heavy pickaxe digging is not an option!
I'm in North Little Rock, Arkansas, which technically is the Ouachita Mountains. (For you Ozarkers, the Ouachitas run from Eastern Oklahoma to Little Rock. They are younger mountains, and have a much more violent geology resulting in faulted/folded ridges that generally run east to west. The rock strata is tilted on edge and quartz is a common mineral.) I've got a modest house on a very steep large lot that was heavily quarried when the house was built 40 something years ago exposing shale bedrock and broken shale scree. In my 10 years here I've slowly been healing the scars of the quarry by building dry stack rock terraces, and filling up with compost from the city. It's slow work, but a great creative outlet in the cooler times of the year. So far, I've got mostly a native woodland garden with a waterfall/watergarden that's built into an exposed rock face. Nearby on this terrace is a fire ring, cypress swing, and extensive gardens.
My last couple of projects have been in brighter areas of the yard. I took out several small/medium winged elm trees and kept the larger oaks. It's amazing how well things grow with some sunlight and less competition from thirsty trees.
In addition to all of my natives, I'm a collector of Japanese maples. I counted 15 the other day, several of which are pretty rare. Ebay is a good source for dormant trees if you aren't in too big a hurry for large ones.
When I moved here the yard was mostly privet, wisteria, mimosa, honeysuckle, and wild cherry. As I build my beds, I'm slowly replacing the invasives with choice garden plants. The terrace building is slow, but in maybe 5 years I'll have my entire back as a huge terraced garden. At that point I may have to focus on the INSIDE of the house for a change. Or maybe not.
Welcome to everyone I have missed before.
Pauln, you just have to post pictures of your garden. It sound so interesting. What a job you have had! I want to see those dry-stacked terraces and the native woodland and the waterfall and just all of it...sounds beautiful.
Would be nice if we would all post some pictures of our places....even though it takes me a half day to get them downloaded with dial-up.
I'm from North Little Rock, AR as well, but I've always thought, we're close enough, it might as well be the Ozarks, even though, as Paul said, it's the Ouachita Mts.
Most of my beds are either all native (or southwestern US plants) or butterfly garden related.
Fuzzy, I know what you mean about digging in AR... 2 inches down before *clunk* you hit a rock the size of your house. I find that I'm using a pick more often than a shovel. One thing about it though, it builds up you arms and back. I found that out when I put in 3 beds in 1 month.
gldno, I know what you mean I have the dial up as well, takes forever!
here are a few of my plants, I need to get some full garden shots, but I have been concentrating on getting each plant catalouged first.
Welcome to the Ozarks Forum Ben Birding. I've seen you post in other forums. I'm trying to grow plants for butterflies too so I'm interested to hear what works well for you in this area.
Micke - Your glad is so pretty! I love glads but wish they bloomed a little longer. I have a nice pink one that's been getting through the winter in the ground and I planted some new ones this year.
micke, enjoyed the shots of your flowers. They downloaded pretty fast for me.
I noticed you have a jar of sedums.....I had one just full of gorgeous healthy plants and suddenly (after the rains had all stopped for some time) just begin dying. I finally just pulled them up and tossed them on the ground. Maybe some will survive.
Loved the color of the glad. I have had a purple one come back for me too. This year with all the rain it got about 4.5 feet tall. Lots of plants did that.
Hey there Ben. Holler sometime, and we can show off our gardens. email@example.com. As a virtual luddite, can anybody instruct me how to upload photos onto this page? I've got a few although I'm not very proud of my garden photos. They just can't seem to capture the real image.
Right now, I'm in water mode, trying to keep everything from wilting. The summer has been fairly kind up until the last week or so. I have absolutely no soil in my garden apart from what I've brought in or composted. So, I have to water twice a week like a good little soldier. In a future life, I will plant no hydrangaes whatsoever because they are always the first to wilt. I gave up on impatients years ago. The native azaleas are second, but suprisingly, they are holding up pretty well. Japanese maples are very forgiving with lack of water, up until a point when they drop most of their leaves.
The hummingbirds must watch in anticipation for me to turn the sprinklers on, because they fly over and bathe on a sugar maple leaf. It's the cutest thing. I feel bad that I don't have more flowers blooming right now for them. They really love the beebalm, but it's just about done for the year.
Paul - On posting photos: A lot of people including me, use Photobucket.com which is free and pretty easy to use. After you sign up there, you will click on "browse" and then find the folder where your photos are stored on your computer, "open" the picture and then click on "upload" on Photobucket.
Then all you have to do is highlight and copy the "tag" line under the photo you want to post. Just copy that line anywhere into your post and it will appear as a photo when you preview or submit it. And if I explained that very badly, search for "photobucket" on Gardenweb and you'll get many how-tos.
I'd like to see your pictures.
I had some peach glads too, but didn't get pics of them, those glads have been in the ground 2 years now, the first year I covered them, but last year I was in a hurry trying to dig my Cannas and Elephant ears because I was afraid we was going to have a bad Winter, I never got to them and I assumed they were goners but they came up just fine. My Cannas are just now blooming and are not near as tall as they were last year, so this Winter I am just going to cover them like usual and hope for the best!
gldno,,That in the jar is actually Hens and Chicks, isn't that crazy how it is growing up tall like that? I have never seen one do like that before. If you threw those sedums on the ground I am sure they will survive I can't get rid of mine no matter how hard I try, more just pops up!
I forgot to put in my last post where I am from. We live a few miles East of Joplin MO.
I don't know if I am technically in the Ozarks here in Adair county near Stilwell, OK, but that's what my parents always said during the thirteen years of my life that we lived in Washington and California. Born here, returned after marrying 39 years ago dragging my California born DH with me. Learned to garden with my Dad as a kid and have been gardening with DH (He does the veggies;I do the flowers) for all our time here. And I STILL have Naked Lady bulbs (Lycoris squamageri)which I would share as they desparately need to be thinned. No more than a couple hundred bloom stalks this year off plantings that a few years ago gave me over 800. I will trade for other bulbs or plants (Make me an offer) or for the postage to mail them. And thanks for the info on posting photos. I've been wondering how to do that too. I feel for those of you who have rock problems. On our 15 acres we have a rocky knoll where we live and where I built beds with a pickax and rock borders and imported dirt, which look wonderful in the spring, but wilt quickly in the summer as they are under moisture sucking trees,and which I have to water with a hose because the faucet is down the slope and I can't get enough pressure to make a soaker hose work, but also down the slope just a little ways an old cultivated field with almost no rocks and a foot of top soil that had washed off the hillside to the north over the millenia. THAT is where DH raises the veggies,on a spot which we have built up with tons of rotten sawdust, grass clippings, oak leaves and compost made with chicken manure and garden trimmings during the 24 years that we have lived at this location, mulching them heavily each summer (although the trees aren't close enough to rob THEIR water) and watering with soaker hoses. (It ain't fair!) But the veggies are incredible so what can I say.
I was born in Yellvilee, and Raised in Mountain Home. I spent a few years in Conway getting an education - always missed the hills while living in that swamp... Then I moved to Fayetteville for a while - can't say I missed the hills there, but still missed MY hills. Been back here in Mountain Home ever since.
My place is down in a valley, not too far from the White River. Been thinking about fixing the old tractor and farming the old hayfields... but for now I'm just playing in my 1500 sf. garden.
I'm located in Northeast AR, on Crowley's Ridge, so technically I'm not in the Ozarks, but close. However, I did grow up in Randolph County, on the edge of the Ozarks, and I'm planning a future move (in a few years) to SW MO/NW AR, so I thought I'd join in. :)
I have a very small garden in the downtown area of Paragould, which I've managed to fill to the brim (and then some) with a wide assortment of plants, including roses, clematis, honeysuckle, eleagnus, photinia, azaleas, hydrangeas, hostas, canna, assorted perennials, viburnum, nandina, sweetspire, crape myrtle, cypress, juniper, and a lone Italian Stone Pine, as well as a single Japanese maple. Our soil isn't rocky here, fortunately, but it's definitely full of clay.
Back home in Maynard, I don't think I could've gardened to this extent because of all of the rocks! They would make lovely edging, though, so I look forward to making the move and digging in.
Thanks! It helps when you have tons of bricks lying around...I decided to use them just to get them out of the way--plus, we have (actually had--I'm in the process of killing it) bermuda and you know what a PITA that is. I had to put a barrier in place to try to keep it from taking over the beds.
Hi y'all, just moved to 5 acres in southeast Missouri near Perryville in late winter of this year. I've been gardening for about 12 years seriously. I left behind several hundred hosta and perennials when we were transferred. I'm still in "shock and withdrawal," LOL. About 3 dozen of my hosta survived the move which was in January from Nebraska!
The good news is that I have more trees and woods than I ever dreamed of now, a pond, and hummingbirds!!!! I have spent the last few months trying to identify all the many native plants and trees and birds... dodging the occasional timber rattler and copperhead... (there was one IN MY HOUSE this week!!) and finding more native plants for my pond. It has been a blast.
Had fairly good luck with my veggies here this year, although it was a bit of a rocky start with the late freeze and all.
Well, hope you are all having a happy gardening day!!
Hi All,
I live in Bentonville in NW AR. Been here since 2000. My DH worked here before in 1986 and we kept asking to be sent back.
I've cut flower gardened off an on my whole life, started with zinnias and snap dragons as a kid. Pretty much at that same level today.
Been busy following my husband from home to home. When we moved here, built new on a steep slope and have pretty much avoided gardening as I just didn't have the energy (poor health) or strength to pick ax garden nor did I know how or what to do in such a site and a zone way colder than I was used to. Finished master's degree at UofA and taught but am not working this year as my mother is in need of more help than I could provide while working. So working on my health, building strength, loosing weight, helping her, and FINALLY doing my yard. I hope to learn "rock" gardening on a steep slope from all you experts.
Welcome Kat. Good luck on your steep yard. Take time and ease into it, as it's pretty hard work. I've been playing on my hillside for about 7 yrs now, and hope to be finishing up in the next 5 yrs...needless to say, the PROCESS is as important as the PRODUCT.
First off, which direction does your hill face? That totally determines your plant choices.
Second, do you have rocks there, or can you get them to the area you're building? They are pricey if you have to buy them, although it's nice to have a truck pull up and unload them.
Third, don't hurt yourself! Even medium sized rocks can be heavy, especially if they roll down on your feet. Remember to be kind to your back along the way. Lift with your legs if at all possible. Always wear cowhide gloves and heavy boots. Get some help from someone younger/stronger than yourself if you need to.
Forth, have fun! This is an excellent creative outlet. Think of it like a 3-D puzzle. Study your rocks, and remember they all have 6 sides. As you play you'll start finding patterns and solutions.
Fifth, think like a 10 year old. If this kid can't safely walk along the wall, the rocks will tumble sooner or later. Once the wall is safely built, add compost and good soil. Remember that drainage must still flow. If there's a draw where water naturally flows during heavy rain, this must be accounted for if you're building a terrace through it. Gravel and/or drain pipe is our friend in these cases. If it's a regular slope and your wall/terrace is under 3 feet high, drainage should be no problem.
Sixth, Trial and Error is your friend.
Have fun!
Welcome Kat, What would we do without our rocky mountainsides? I'm on the top so don't have steep sides in yard or garden,but can't go anywhere else without almost falling off LOL.
We'll have to talk you into planting perenials. They're easier, unless of course you have to use a saw to dig them up among the rocks LOL. I could'nt resist reading your post to beerhog.
When i first started my flower beds i piled all my rocks in a mound with dirt in between than built a dirt path over the top than i overdid buying daylilies one year and the dirt path became a daylily bed. I thought the rocks looked a little bare so fixed a steep rockgarden out of them by filling inbetween rocks. worked great till i had a stroke and fell off every spring fixing things up. The third year i fell and had to go to ER for stitches on forehead. So tore my favorite flower bed down to an exceptable and flat bed. Now am rearrangeing again to containers. Have loved all my flower beds and makng them. That mound of dirt is still my favorite of all my beds. As paul said take your time and enjoy what you do. Best wishes to you and your mom.
I think we'll have to assign pauln our official rock person.
Thanks Vickie! I'm honored. Right now I'm in rock withdrawal as I've used up most of my rocks. My buddy is scouting construction sites for newly unearthed stones. He'll borrow a trailer and help me gather more for this year's projects. I'm totally dependent on him as it's hard to get many in my Civic hatchback. My neighbors were moving lots of rocks from somewhere yesterday. They just dumped them into a rip-rap pile like you see along the Arkansas River. What a waste! They could have a really nice terrace with a little more labor and some creativity.
Oh yeah, I'll try to snap some photos of my garden soon, and submit them from my work 'puter. I can't seem to figure out how to do this from home. Please remember, photos don't do much justice, but I guess that's the same for everyone. Happy gardening everybody!
Sunny bed constructed 2006. The rocks were recently unearthed at a construction site, so they are quite yellow. They will gray out in the next couple of years and the mosses and lichens will eventually move in. Note that the rocks are Ouachita in origin, so they are chunkier than their flatter Ozark cousins. This makes terrace building harder, but opens up creative avenues.
Paul it is absolutely gorgeous! What is the creeping plant in the bottom picture hanging over the rocks.
BTW, I will not talk about my rocks to you Arkansans again! They pale in comparison.
I love your waterfall and pool. Very nice work.
I have one question. Because of the rocks, are snakes a problem. I always thing of copperheads around rocks.
Thanks Gldno! The trailing plant is a sedum of some sort. I had no idea it would be that agressive. It does have a nice liquid appearance however. Anybody need any sedum? I'm in town, so snakes aren't a problem. The only ones I see are worm snakes and ring-neck snakes. They are small ones who are mostly underground. Max caught one a while back and I let him know that he doesn't need to kill snakes. His standard response was to roll on his back to see if I'd scratch his belly.
welcome, jjappleby, I'm happy to see someone fairly close to me, as I was beginning to feel out of place here. Do you trade? I still have naked lady bulbs that I would let someone dig or that I would trade. Also have purple siberian iris that I will be digging soon. Anyone? And pauln, WOW! Your rocks do have 6 sides. Mine sometimes have as many as 15--not nice blocky sandstone, but chunky chert. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome Joy, always nice to have a new member to share info with.
Mulberryknob,I'm going to ETX for a couple of weeks. When i get back i would like to take you up on a trade. I have daylilies and German iris to trade but i would'nt be sure of the color as i lost all of my tags. also have the wild orange daylilies and purple iris, know where they are. also have some of our wild light blue dwarf iris.
pauln your pond looks wonderful. Your sedum looks like sedum sarmentosum. I have some growing also. It will eventually take over the place if you let it. I just grab handfuls and throw it out when it spreads farther than I want. Very easy to root if you move it. I have sent trades of it to other people with no problems.
Thanks guys and gals. As we all know, our babies are a labor of love. The sedum was given to me last year(!)and like most groundcovers, I'll soon rue the day I planted it. It does look kinda groovy right now lapping and splashing amongst the rocks in a very viscous liquid kinda way.
Mulberryknob, if you can figure out how to build with chert, then my hat's off to you indeed! The chert that comes to my mind is mostly fist sized. It would be lots and lots of work, but could make an interesting wall. Sandstone is such a wonderful rock. I have an outdoor dolly with knobby inflatable tires for moving the really heavy stuff up my front steps. It's the best $50 I've ever spent. The huge rocks sometimes have to be rolled uphill. This is not quite as hard as it sounds if you can avoid having to pick up the rock entirely. Just remember to keep some weight on the ground and roll one side at a time. And always, watch your feet and have an escape plan in case it starts rolling the wrong direction.
Thanks William. I think you take buttermilk, or beer and blend it with the desired moss. I assume flat beer would be better than bubbly if using a blender. Now I'm having visions of green beer all over my ceiling and walls. Anyway, this product is painted on the desired rocks. I think shady ones should take better than sunny ones.
I'm going to try this during the winter. It seems that's the time that the mosses are sporing. I've not heard of this method for lichens, but it's worth a whorl.
A friend of mine tried this on some of her rocks, and her dogs promptly lapped it up. So, this is something to remember if trying. I wonder if a hefty dose of cayenne would discourage the dogs/cats without harming the moss.
Looks like I've got a science project to work on. I'll report any results.
Vickie, I'm afraid I already have all the plants you mentioned--even the dwarf native iris. But, if you want to pay the postage, I can send you some nice bulbs. It takes between $8 and $10 to send a dozen to central Arkansas. I sent some to LIttle Rock recently.
Paul our chert ranges from egg through fist to basketball to half-your-living-room-couchsized. And not at all so regularly shaped. I have not tried to build stacked walls--just used the larger ones to outline beds which I filled with good soil.
I'm in West Plains, Mo., been gardening all my life, passed down from my Dad, I'm 51 and can't get enough plants! Waiting for it to dry out to get the garden in, so glad we waited or it would of been washed away by massive flooding last week.
Here is a link that might be useful: Country Pleasures
Is this the latest of this type of thread? I can't figure out why didn't respond to pauln's beautiful rock garden and water feature. Maybe it was when my old computer and dial up made Garden Web impossible. I live in McDonald County in SW MO.
Looks like only one other Oklahoma and no Kansas! I used to post on the Oklahoma forum under ilene_in_neok, but most of those folks are in zone 7 and I am in zone 6, just 19 miles from the Kansas line and 50 miles due north of Tulsa. So their climate is different than mine and they have that red sandy dirt while I have black clay -- and since moving out to the country, lots of limestone rocks! I thought maybe I'd fit in better here, and I already knew a few of you. I wonder where all the KS folks post?
I am 66, Hubs will soon turn 71, I was a backyard town gardener before we moved "to the country" three years ago. We have 1.67 acres. I've gardened a little, off and on, most of my adult life, but only in earnest since I retired at age 61, I was born in KS but we moved to OK when I was 7, so I grew up in a little town just across the state line called Copan.
Since this was started in '07, I wonder if some of these folks are still coming here?
Hubs and I both have Missouri roots in our genealogy. His Jones family lived in Greene and Lawrence Counties between 1840 and 1867, then moved to KS. My Peabody family lived in Cabool, MO and then moved to Gentry, Benton County, AR, and my Britt family lived in Crawford and then Howell Counties in MO before moving, also, to KS. This was my mother's side of the family, my dad's side were from Nebraska.
I write on a blog sometimes, not too often these days but I'll probably post more in winter. I think the second-earliest post has pictures of our place. I tried to put a link below but it was rejected. These GW forums have changed so much from the way they worked when I posted a few years ago. If you go to my Member Page, it's listed there, though.
Hi Jimnall - I can't recall anyone posting that's from your area, unless it was a long time ago and I've forgotten, but you're still welcome to join in.
Paul DID post some beautiful photos and I didn't respond either. I have an excuse. It would've been during our kitchen fire remodel.
I seem to have missed a lot of this thread. I am sorry I haven't welcomed newcomers. We need more gardeners here to keep this current and lively.
I am guilty of not being here as much....I, like Ilene, blog and I can't even do that as timely as I would like.
I will do better.
Welcome to all. We still live northwest of Springfield, Mo. on a farm. I don't garden as intensely as I once did but still do garden, both ornamental and vegetable (and fruit).
Hey all!. I'm is south Springfield. Born and raised here and been at this place for 25 years. Always piddled growing something but got serious a couple of years ago using this and some other free sources. I now have 9 raised beds and this year was excellent for just about all the crops. Learn so much here....so thanks everyone!
Hi Ya'all I'm north of Springfield,and, just a few miles east of the northern end of Stockton lake. Just love it here and feeling lucky to have nice sandy soil.
Really enjoyed reading this thread and wondered if many of the original posters were still active.
I've been gardening for more years than I care to admit but the Ozarks is a new place for me. I'm learning a lot from neighbors and others here on the forum.
Anyone raising fruit trees? I'm interested in tips or recommendations.
Hello -- I'm in Joplin, southeast of the city.
Have been gardening since the 1960's, but was dragged to nurseries for years by my parents when growing up. I thought it was all a big *yawn*. Now my daughter is immersed, as well, so we have fun sharing plants, etc.
This forum has lots of wonderful people -- I learn so much from them.
I know this is an old thread but...why not open it back up?
I'm in Fayetteville, AR and my fiancee and I started a community garden at our apartment complex last year!
The landlord installed an 8 x 16 raised-bed (with railroad ties, unfortunately, but it works and we tried to protect as well as we could). We are expanding this year and super excited!
We hope to get more of the families who don't eat a lot of vegetables involved but that has been a struggle so far. I need to teach cooking classes, I think.
Any tips for efficient gardening, the best raised bed plan or alternatives to raised beds are welcome! I'm always looking for new things to try, I often use some of this garden as an experiment for what will grow.
This winter we had a makeshift greenhouse garden and were able to grow some kale, arugula and green onions.
Welcome to the Ozarks forum Mmiesse! There are two other Gardenweb forums that might be helpful; Potager Gardens and Square Foot Gardening. Not trying to run you off of course but I think both of those will have lots of info about raised beds. I have given my hubby permission to cut down a tree that will allow me a nice sunny spot for raised beds. The tree is still there so I may not get to it this summer.
We're in Pomona, MO - just five miles north of West Plains. Thought I'd share my solution to a grade problem in the front of our house. We couldn't grow grass as it kept washing out. What little did grow was difficult to mow. Even our small garden tractor struggled to get up the hill.
I wanted something that looked like nature might have put it there and came up with this drift of river rock that forms about five irregular tiers. This picture was taken last spring, the second blooming season. Just finished putting down a ton of mulch (actually weight, not a generic term), replacing some drift roses that succumbed to the rose mosaic virus with azalea and moving some "spreaders" to other parts of the yard.
We actually have people who drive in from the highway to get a closer look at what we've done. I'm very pleased and the tiers are so easy to tend.
Farmington AR just west of Fayetteville. We just moved in this past winter from a smaller house with an even smaller yard in Fayetteville. Nearly finished remodeling the inside of the house, now it's time to make the two acre hay field outside a cornucopia of fruits, vegetables, and berries.
More from Pomona, MO - I tend to garden as a way to solve problems. There were awkward spaces between the walk leading to our front door and the house. Grass grew but was so annoying to mow. Now, i have this pretty water feature that combines native Ozark rock with river rock harvested back in Wisconsin (our native state) and pea gravel. I started with tall stands of saw grass as a background but it is so invasive, I dug it all up and moved it. The fountain is on a remote control along with the rope light and I can turn it on or off with the flick of a switch. When the plantings are in their prime, the rope light provides a glow effect. Pretty, night and day.
Pomonaflower, that is beautiful! I just moved from Florida (where I lived for nearly 25 years) to Bella Vista, AR. Wow, I love it here. It is more like the area of Virginia where I am originally from. You did an awesome job with your rock garden. It is giving me some ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Sharbear50 - we have friends in Bella Vista!!! I have to confess that the grunt work on these projects was done by someone else. I'm in my 70's and there is no way my body would let me do any of this.
The fountain has an interesting back story. At the close of my professional life, I was a self-employed web site designer. I did a site for a fellow who installed fountains and ponds and, due to his circumstances, never got paid. After several years, I simply wrote off the debt. Then, out of the blue, I got a call from him. Seems he got "religion" and wanted to compensate me for my work. He asked if I would like a pond or fountain installed at his expense. I leaped at the opportunity. He traveled more than 600 miles, and spent three very hot days here, digging the hole for the tank, installing the fountain, etc. We did put him up and feed him, but he worked like a mule! In the end, we were both very happy with the results.
I'm in Sunrise Beach, right on the water at Lake of the Ozarks. I have been longing for this forum to become more populated! It is very different growing here than it is in St. Louis, where we were until retiring here.
We love it, and are gradually getting our beds and space going. Had to cut down a tree that shaded our deck to get any sun in the yard...but now another tree seems to be shading the deck a bit too.
Mulching is harder here--the pill bugs are KILLIN' me!
I'd love to hear from anybody in this neck of the woods!
Just moved from SouthTexas to Sharp Co., AR. Now I truly rock!
I lived in the Rockies, but never saw anything like this--gotta go raised beds. I am a no till gardener anyway & I figure once I manage to get plants started, the roots will find a way.
Seems like I'm not the only who just moved here. In Springfield, moved here from Sacramento, California. I'm pretty sure this yard has a maximum of 4 inches of "soil" and then it is one giant rock. Going to have to adjust my gardening expectations even more than I had planned! LOL.
Welcome to Theresa67 and SoTX. Yes you will find gardening different but it is possible and you will be amazed at what you can grow.
If you can't find time to build a frame for the raised beds consider the layering of cardboard or other paper thickly and then piling on soil, shredded (or not) leaves and other mulch type material. By spring you will be amazed at what you have and what you can grow.
You just need 6 inches of soil to grow most vegetables and you can get that pretty quickly.
Good luck and let us hear how you do next spring.

David D. Doniger & Company
|This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia. (January 2013)
David D. Doniger & Company was a manufacturer of branded sportswear in the United States founded in 1921. It was the largest such US company in the mid-twentieth century, with sales of $50,000,000 in 7,000 outlets in 1956.
Formerly a prominent exporter, tariff barriers and dollar shortages reduced its overseas markets.[1] In January 1961 the company's home office was located at 666 Fifth Avenue (Manhattan).[2]
McGregor sportswear[edit]
David D. Doniger imported his first line of clothes from Scotland and selected the McGregor label to go with it.[3] In 1956 it licensed companies in eight foreign countries to produce sportswear using its McGregor label.[1] By the mid 1970s the firm had changed its name to McGregor-Doniger.[4]
William and Harry E. Doniger (March 13, 1904 – January 3, 1961), the sons of David D. Doniger, succeeded their father as heads of McGregor-doniger. Harry E. Doniger was credited with making colorful men's sportswear popular. In 1955 he was chosen Man of the Year for Men's Wear industry.[2]

I Chose ISU: Robert Hanson, biochemistry master's student
Robert Hanson, a master's student in Idaho State University's biological sciences department, chose ISU because of the faculty, research opportunities for undergraduates, and the welcoming attitude to nontraditional students.
Hanson graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 2003. He has lived in towns throughout the Northwest, including Idaho Falls; Twin Falls; Elko, Nevada; and Ogden, Utah.
About his experience of moving around so much, Hanson jokingly says, "I tend to think of myself as a 'nomad of the West.'" (more…)
Idaho State University study shows prep football participants often don't properly inflate helmet bladders
Proper fitting football helmets are essential to help prevent concussions in prep football players, but a new study by Idaho State University shows that many players use inappropriately sized helmets, and often don't reinflate the air bladders in their helmets.
Both of these factors can result in more concussions.
Although 97.5 percent of participants wore helmets that required regular, weekly reinflation of interior bladder systems, 43 percent of participants acknowledged never reinflating their bladders during the 12- to 16-week 2013 football season. (more…)

Idaho State University MILES grant researchers provide accessible digital history to Portneuf River users
Idaho State University researchers have created a variety of websites and easy-to-use digital web tools aimed at helping the public and all stakeholders understand the history and dynamics of the Portneuf River ecosystem.
"What we are trying to do is create a better public understanding of how the river has been managed in the past, to contribute to community involvement in deciding how the river should be managed in the future," said Kevin Marsh, ISU history professor and chair, "because providing historical and science-based data on how to manage water in Pocatello is one of the goals of the MILES research project."

Roasted Eggplant Dip
- Active Time 30m
- Total Time 1h
2 1/2 cups
Mellow roasted garlic sets this version of the popular Middle Eastern eggplant dip apart from standard recipes. Roasting the onion and tomato alongside the eggplant also adds an extra dimension of flavor. Serve with sliced raw vegetables, crackers or pita bread.
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- For Roasted Eggplant Dip :
- 1 large head garlic
- 1 eggplant (1 to 1 1/4 pounds), cut in half lengthwise
- 1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1 ripe tomato, cored, sliced in half and seeded
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Set oven racks at the two lowest levels; preheat to 450 degrees F. Peel as much of the papery skin from the garlic as possible and wrap loosely in foil. Bake until the garlic is soft, 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place eggplant halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 10 minutes. Add onion slices and tomato halves to the baking sheet and roast until all the vegetables are soft, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Let cool slightly.
Separate the garlic cloves and squeeze the soft pulp into a medium bowl. Mash with the back of a spoon. Slip skins from the eggplant and tomatoes; coarsely chop. Finely chop the onion. Add the chopped vegetables to the garlic pulp and stir in the lemon juice, mint, oil, salt and pepper.

Some cold on the way....
Looking more likely.
9/12-weather-underground forecasters discussion.....
Long term...Thursday night through next Wednesday...
the main story is that the medium range models continue to support a
pattern shift to much colder weather by midweek and beyond... with
potential for early frost/freeze and record to near record cold
Heres the rest of it-
Tue-Wed... aforementioned front looks to usher in much colder air
during this period and beyond as large upper trough develops
over the central Continental U.S.. medium range models all agree on this pattern
shift thus not question of if it will turn colder... rather how much
colder. Recent runs of GFS and European model (ecmwf) would support initial cold
shot Tuesday into Wednesday with 850 mb temperatures in the single digits to possibly
near 0c! This would likely result in near record to record cold temperatures
with potential for frost and yes even a freeze in some areas by 12z
Wednesday. GFS and European model (ecmwf) both support the typical fall roller coaster on
temperatures and indicate moderation into Friday before next disturbance and
attendant cold front Ushers in another surge of possibly even colder
air for the weekend... just in time for the autumnal equinox. The
colder air arriving next week is the main weather story and will be
monitoring closely in the coming days. McClure
The forecast is not looking any better-
From the NWS forecasters discussion
Sunday...one more pleasantly comfortable day with near normal highs
of 75 to 80 degrees and light south winds and fair skies. Sunday
night...some low clouds to arrive from Missouri ahead of the strong
cold front with mins mostly near 60 degrees. Later shifts may need to
assess risk of some patchy fog and drizzle toward daybreak.
Monday...strong front to arrive with bands of rain and possibly
isolated thunder if enough middle level forcing. Severe risk appears
none at this time with limited instability at or below 1000 j/kg...wbz at or above 10k above ground level
and poor bl lapse rate for gusty winds at or below 45 miles per hour even with best PM
heating situations of 70+ degrees southeast sections at this time for later shifts
to reconsider. Rain amounts suggested to be mostly .1 to .25 of an
inch due to the fast progressive nature of this strong cold front
even though precipitable water values are about 1.25 inches. Key will be risk of
thunderstorms as they could double or triple forecast rain amounts as
they move northeast at 25 to 35 miles per hour. Large high temperature gradient
with lower 60s northwest with nearly steady PM values to lower to
middle 70s far southeast sections. Most central and SW locations will see
falling PM temperatures with gusty northwest winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour with good
overturning bl mixing due to strong cold air advection and clearing skies with boost
of September sunshine...this will enhance the gusty nature of winds.
Monday night...this is a challenge as upper trough is again colder
and strong with likely 850 temperatures to crash to near to possible below
zero with -2c values in north suggested. With clear skies and
northwest winds of 4 to 8 miles per hour as is forecast...to limit bl decoupling
this still supports mins 33-38 degrees for near record to record cold
risk. The magnitude of bl decoupling should become better determined
next 24-36 hours. Currently have mins 36-41 degrees.
Tuesday...a brisk day with fair skies and fair weather cumulus clouds
and northwest winds of 10-20+ miles per hour with highs struggling to reach 60 degrees
in north sections...this would be at least 15 degrees below normal.
Tuesday night...trend of colder and slower is evident this cycle as
was discussed last night. This poses a challenge as if surface high
allows...as is currently suggested...several hours of nearly calm
winds for bl decoupling...and clear skies...this support mins of 30
to 35 degrees that would probably most break cold min records.
Favored low lying areas could even see upper 20s...this obviously
would require frost and possibly freeze headlines. Once again...the
this risk and trend should be better ascertained the next 24-36
Wednesday and Thursday...strong reinforcing shot of cold air and deep
upper trough nearby support very cold rain showers with probability of precipitation probably
needing raising when timing better clarified. Highs of 65 to 75 with
mins mostly in the 40s. Again strong baroclinic zone overhead and
deepness of trough do suggest temperatures may need lowering with
potential wrap-around low clouds and near record cold maximum temperatures in
north not out of the question if zone shifts a bit further south...
that will need monitoring the next couple of days to see how phasing
occurs and speed and strength of surface and upper air occlusion.
Remarkably...some evidence parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota could see
some wet snow if this trend of deep cyclogenesis the past 2 days is
Friday...strong cyclonic northwest flow portends below to well below normal
temperatures with current highs in the mostly middle 60s and lows in the lower
40s likely several degrees too mild. Some techniques suggest mins
near freezing and some 55-60 degree highs may not be out of the
question with cold PM rain showers as trigger temperatures to be
reached with lots of cold air aloft and gusty to possibly very
gusty winds.
Temps took a slide down the thermometer here too. Not so much yet, but they're predicting highs only in the 60s all week, with one low I believe Wednesday night of 49. The other lows predicted are in the mid to low 50s. They're not predicting a frost or anything close to that, but it will definitely feel like mid to late October around here next week. I'm thinking I'm going to dig up my Siam Ruby and bring it inside over the week until temps warm up enough to get some growth out of it.
Big storm on the way for the local area tomorrow and into Wednesday with several inches of rain, tropical storm force winds, and heavy thunderstorms. Will probably have to spend some time cleaning up. After cold front I see highs in mid 60's for couple of days w. lows in low 50's before rise back into 70's. Not ready to move things inside. Ocean temps around 76 f. so Fall decent of temps will be gradual and prolonged. Despite the coolish September, I think Oct-Nov will be fairy mild.

Tyler, tx — The city of Tyler has confirmed two water main breaks. One is at the 2400 block of Old Bullard Road and the second is near the 700 block of South Broadway.
The break on Broadway is an 8" main. The break on Old Bullard is a 6" main.
There are customers who are without water at this time. The City of Tyler released this statement about the outages: "Under Ch. 19 -36, we notify customers if there will be an outage due to scheduled maintenance. Because these are both breakages and not planned maintenance – customers were not notified. We anticipate the repairs to be completed and water service restored within four hours. We do not know at this time how many customers are without water service."
Drivers are urged to take alternate routes and avoid both areas.
The city says the breaks are unrelated.
City crews are responding to several possible water main breaks in Tyler.
Water is flowing from underneath Old Bullard Road between Chilton and Old Jacksonville.
City of Tyler Spokesperson Susan Guthrie says they were recently alerted to the problem and have dispatched crews to the scene.
Guthrie believes the flooding is being caused by a water main break, but can not confirm that as the cause at this time. She also says crews are working on the city's sewer system today.
In a separate incident, traffic has been reduced to one lane on at the corner on Rowland and Broadway over the same issue.
