We requested no standard hardware so we can install our own nickel cup pulls and hexagonal glass knobs.

(That last made me ridiculously happy!) We're doing a white subway tile backsplash with a decorative strip of mosaic tile of white marble, frosted and white glass (in a linear shape rather than square) with black impala granite counters.

We did upgrade to white cabinets with crown molding, a big bank of drawers and a pull out for pots and pans as well as a pull out by the sink for the trash/recycling bins. We have an open U shaped kitchen (with an island) which flows into a eating area and great room. We weren't ready to leave our military 'family' completely! Chicagoans: Our floorplan is set (since we are using a production builder) after A LOT of looking we were lucky enough to find a floorplan that is perfect for us. (Someday, when it's just us, we may get to live in Monument.) One of the reasons we chose COS was the strong military presence. We still get the beautiful views of the mountains and the AF Academy and a great school for the kids. joyce_6333: We are indeed in Colorado Springs! We actually looked at building in Monument but it would have been at least $30,000 more and meant a longer commute to the airport for my husband so we decided to build in Northgate. Of course, I still have to deliver another deposit to the builder (since we did so many upgrades and my finishes are anything but neutral). Thanks so much for all the support! I didn't sleep much Wednesday night but I'm doing much better now. Still, don't be afraid to do what you want, and see what happens, it's the best way to learn. Carrots need sandy soil to do well, and radishes in the home garden usually wind up too hot to eat, but they're fun to grow. Beets, chard, potatoes, onions, garlic and lettuce tend to be easy. Do you like snap or sugar peas? they get planted about mid September, after the last hot spell of summer, and are foolproof once they get a few inches tall, so snails cant eat them in one gulp. Supposedly you can buy lightweight floating row cover fabric from nurseries to protect the plants from insects, but I wonder it the cost is worth it for as little as you plant, you don't want to wind up with 5 dollar a head cabbage! To be honest, I gave up on trying to grow them long ago, it was too much trouble. Still, you will need to be hyper-vigilant to keep cabbage butterflies from laying eggs on the plants. Or you can buy plants in about a month to set out. As to the brassica's, it's actually close to the time to start them from seed- around August 1, to get a late fall crop. I've read it's best to pollinate squash early in the morning, soon after the flowers open. If I'm remembering right from my veg crops class (from thirty years ago), you can refrigerate the pollen flower, and use it the next day on another open female flower.
