Spaghetti beans: Anyone know anything about these?
Comments (8)"So I went and researched the Liana, that is one gorgeous plant." I hope that you were looking at the pole bean, not the rampant tropical vine that it is named after. Ladyshiva, I take it that you have already obtained seed. In the Seed Savers Exchange yearbook (where SSE members exchange seeds) I see two people from Minnesota offering it, so chances are that one of them is your source. Is the seed small, black, and elongated? If so, then it is most likely a yardlong bean, as I suspect. If not, I would be very interested in learning more about it, and perhaps growing it myself. Yardlongs are cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) that have been bred for their tender immature pods, much as some common beans were bred for use as green beans. Most of them are climbing vines. They are a warm-weather crop... but that should present no problem for you, since you are in a warm climate. "Liana", a black-seeded, green-podded variety, is probably the most common yardlong. There are white, red, and brown-seeded yardlongs as well, although they are not as common in this country. Due to my short seasons, I need to start my yardlongs indoors to be successful. While you could also do that, there should be no need. Just plant them directly where they will be grown, once the soil has fully warmed. Give them plenty of space (thin to about 12" apart) and provide a tall trellis or poles, preferably at least 6 feet tall. Germination testing requires at least 10 seeds to give meaningful results, and more than that to be accurate. If your seed is limited, that would be a waste. If you doubt the viability of the seed, it might be better to perform your germination test in small pots, close to planting time. That way, if the seed grows, you could transplant the seedlings, with no seed wasted....See Moreanyone know anything about Durham Botanicals
Comments (17)I was looking at some sites doing grafted, and it just turned me off. Not sure why, since I'm no pro. I'm new, so I bought some rooted plants non grafted from both Brads Buds and Blooms (via mail) and others from Exotic Plumeria nursery in Tampa which I visited in person. Pretty happy with both so far. These are Central Florida locations. The rooted mailed plants came free of soil in wet newspaper, now in the teal and black containers. (came yesterday)....See MoreAnyone know anything about Ark Flooring?
Comments (9)We installed Ark flooring in January. It was engineered since we have a concrete slab. The wood was Curupay (or Patagonian Rosewood) from Brazil. Obviouxly I can't testify to the quality over time but we are impressed so far. The floor is beautiful. It has a big color variation from blonde to dark brown but more of a blended (not busy) look. We are very happy with it....See MoreX post: Anyone know anything about HD / 4K tvs?
Comments (4)I can't speak to 4K TVs (which, btw, are often referred to as "UHD", not just "HD"). But most HD TVs available for the past 8-10 years or so have not done a good job displaying non-HD (or SD [Standard Definition]) content. The aspect (high-to-wide) ratio is different so the TV typically ends up remapping the display some to fill the screen as much as it can. This is very similar to changing the definition on a computer screen (essentially the same reasons). It's not clear to me whether you're discussing TV stations or all non-HD content. If you're trying to play videocassettes or MP4s through the TV, it won't look good because these sources don't have enough display information to look high-definition. You might try changing some features on the TV. Try changing the aspect ratio, perhaps accepting black borders on the screen rather than trying to fill the screen with the lower-definition signal. If you're talking about one particular input (say, VCR), you may be able to change that particular input and leave the rest optimal....See Morestevethelizard
