Does anyone have these trees? One or the other or both? I am looking for a fast growing screen tree/bush. I like these b/c they grow very tall. I've read up on both of them and it seems the thuja green giant is heartier? Need some advice & thoughts please for anyone that has these.
Poplars are short-lived---don't bother.
I have no experience with a thuja.
Ask an arborist---better yet, learn about both trees from a tree trimming/removal service.
Trees should be part of a landscape for generations. Plant a tree that will outlive your great great grandchildren. Good things are worth waiting for. If you need a barrier planting, take photos to a garden center and ask for advice.
I am thinking about getting a juvenile Giant green pink toe and was wondering what housing would be suitable. I' ve seen people using Faunariums on their side but i'm not a big fan of that. I was thinking about getting an Exo terra 30x30x45 terrarium. Do you think this would be suitable for it? Any help is appreciated.
An exo terra enclosure would be fine, as would any aquariam that is set on end so it creates a vertical enclosure. Pink Toe's are arboreal so height is more important than floor space. I'm not sure what a Giant Green Pink Toe is - never heard of it - but you should be able to care for it the same as any other species in the Avicularia genus. Here is a caresheet my husband and I wrote on caring for them:
Trumpet Seeds Night I want to know what this flower is.?
Can anyone tell me what kind of flower this is? I was told it is a moonflower but it isn't a vine. It gets to 8 to 12 inches tall. It looks similar to the devils trumpet but the leaves are different. It blooms at night then 2 or 3 days later dies and leaves a spikey seed pod. HELP!!!! I have pictures if that would help anyone. Thank you!!!!!!!! Here is the link to the picture. I have more somewhere but can't seem to find them right now. http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq16/ijkmjk29/pics2008094.jpg
Can anyone help me identify what these lovely yellow flowers are?
Hi, these have turned up in my garden a few years ago (not sure if one or two were planted by previous tenant), but now I have large clumps of them, they seem to seed like mad. Have tried to find a picture of them on the net but have unsuccessful so far.
They are very long and are on stalks like a gladioli, half way up the stalk lots of little yellow flowers appear, they are about the size of a 1p coin they are a very pale yellow and have approx 6 little petals they get slightly darker to the middle of the flower where there appears to be a bright yellow stamen. They close at night into a trumpet shape and open in the morning. At the moment they are full of seeds and you just have to brush by and the seeds fall off.
Many thanks
Jane

Brillant Dotted grade 8 guitar ?? any help would be brillant?
hi i have been playing guitar for around 6months,(self taught) i seem to find it easy but i do play pretty much all day when ever im siting at home i have my guitar in my hand, i have just finished learning classical gas. i met a person the other day who was going for his grade 8 exam. im learning andy mckee rylnn at the moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsD6uEZsIsU i played him the first bit and he said it could be a grade 6/7piecee
so i started to wonder what a grade 8piecee was ??
can i skip all the grades and just take a grade 8 test ??
do i have to dot theoryy test with it ( knackered if i do because i carnt even read tabs properly)
any information would be greatly receivedd as im off to a music college in september and it would be nice to go with some qualificationn on the guitarr
thanks
ok, to do any grade above grade 5 you need grade 5 theory, also, grade 8 isn't just about being able to play the notes, you also need to be able to interpret the music and play it with a sense of style that is developed over years of practise. i would suggest doing your grade 5 and working upwards, because other elements required (such as scales, aural tests and sightreading) you may find difficult with the higher grades if you have not done any others before.
hope that helps

Fresh Seed I want to convert my parakeets to mainly pellets (and fresh foods) but how?
Okay so right now they are young and I offer a couple types of seed, some pellets, millet, and fresh foods. They eat mostly seed, no fresh foods, and a tiny portion of pellets. What is the best way to convert them to mainly pellets and fresh foods, and occasional seeds?
i orignally was going to use kaytee diet pellets but the place that bred the keets said they cause cancer and they gave me a seed variety, and these little colored pellets. so are these pellets okay? how would i know if they are non brand?
how bad are seeds?
There are many methods to conversion, and some work better than others. The most commonly used one is mixing pellets gradually into the dish with the seeds. This has worked for some, but the problem is that the bird can still completely avoid the pellets and continue to eat the seed.
Another method is to serve pellets in a different form. For example, soaking it in water and creating a mash out of it. (Duddles' note: when pellets or mash are mixed with water, they cannot be left all day, since they start to spoil quickly. Maximum: 1 hour.) Many birds might try this, but here's the catch: not all pellets are in a mashed form. Harrison's brand, however, does have a mashed form made primarily for finches that is also good for converting picky birds if you find this is the only way to get your bird to try pellets.
Another very common method is to put a seed dish in the cage in the morning (with a separate dish for pellets), then take the seed dish out in the afternoon leaving just the pellet dish, then put the seed dish back in the cage for the evening and night. Since birds primarily eat in the morning and night, they are able to eat their normal diet, but if they want an afternoon snack their only choice is to eat pellets. This is my favorite method and has worked for many.
During the conversion period, keep a very close eye on your bird's weight. (Duddles' note: It is best to use a gram scale and a good one at that. An old, out of calibre kitchen scale may not be good enough to detect a couple of grams, which is actually a huge amount of weight, for example, to a budgie that only weighs 25-35 grams to begin with.) Weigh your bird before you begin conversion and continue to weigh your bird twice or more a week during the conversion period (you may want to weigh him every day if you feel its necessary). If you bird appears to be losing weight, make sure you aren't limiting his normal seed intake. This is sometimes a problem if you are using the gradual mix-in method.
Even after your bird appears to be converted, continue to watch his weight for at least a month after the apparent conversion. In most birds, the color of his dropping may change (typically from green to a brown) once he has been converted to a pelleted diet.
Conversion will without a doubt be the most difficult part of feeding your bird pellets, but fitting pellets into your bird's diet properly and healthily is just as important. Just as an all-seed diet isn't good for your bird, neither is an all-pellet diet. Seeds are a natural part of your bird's diet in the wild, and should continue to be a small part of your bird's domesticated diet as well.
With your pellets there should be a chart saying how much pellets you should feed your bird daily. For the Harrison's brand, this can be found on their website. For each breed of bird, there are directions as to how much pellets to give them.
According the chart at Harrison's website for the Adult Lifetime Fine pellets (http://harrisonsbirdfoods.com/al.cfm), one should feed a budgie 1-2 tsp of pellets, and then feed him approximately 1 tsp of fruits or vegetables. It also says on the list that such feeding of fruits and vegetables isn't required, but it is certainly best for your bird. Without fresh foods in his diet, a bird lacks a vital part of his varied diet.
Then, in addition to this amount of pellets and fruits, a bird would require a small amount of seed, keeping with his natural diet. Allowing him a small amount of seed early in the day will keep him in tune with his natural system.

When can fresh vegetable seeds be planted?
In the last week I have collected seeds from some fresh peppers and cantaloupe that I would like to plant indoors for transplanting when the weather allows. I assume they have to dry out some before I plant them. How long do I have to keep these seeds before I can actually plant them in pots? Any idea how soon I should plant them so they would be ready for transplant in Early May?
Seeds should be completely dry before planting. I would then place them in the freezer for a few weeks. Check out the time to maturity for each of the seeds in your area. If it says 85 days to maturity you want to remember that this is a full fruit bearing plant and transplanting at that stage of the game is not very successful. Most vegetable plants and melons do well if they aren't taller than 12" high/wide when transplanting them out of doors.So if it says 85 days to full maturity, then starting them indoors you would seed them about 44 days before your frost free date by then you will have a healthy plant to plant outdoors that will transplant well. Hope this helps
White Medium i have ugly white tiles, white appliances,medium oak cabinets, how can I warm my kitchen?
I want to paint the walls to make my kitchen warm. I am not sure what I can do with the ceramic tile floors. I am hoping I can paint the walls and add rugs. I want to make sure the wall color is a warm color. The rest of my house is painted in earth tones.
Yup, painting your walls will warm your kitchen. I think something like orange color (not bright orange) is great and can go with your brown cabinets. Try to also have ceiling lights with warm yellow lights.

Is a medium blue on the walls and a white on the borders okay for a small bedroom?
I know dark colors on the walls can make a small bedroom appear even smaller, but I really like a darker ocean blue and a white together. It's a sunny room so I figure that plus the light colored accents and furniture will open it up. Thoughts?
Oh yes that would be a calm feeling room if you did that because you will have enough white on the borders to even out the dominant color.
