I just had to do this yesterday! It was only an inch tall which made it easier. I'm glad I didn't wait until it was taller. IÂve been trying to get it to grow for years and finally last year it took off. But not in the right direction! Instead of growing where there was empty space to the west, it advanced east into some favorite daylilies. I didnÂt want to just tear it out as I had promised some to a friend. The soil was just a little moist: 2 days after a little rain. If it had been dry it would not have worked so well. I used just the tip of a very pointy trowel to tease it out. Since the plants were connected by stolons (I think?) just under the soil, once I got a section up all I needed to do was gently tug and wiggle out from in between the other plants. It wilted right away but I heeled it into a holding bed until my friend can come for it; and after watering it perked right up. Much easier than I expected.

hmmm, some confusion to say the least. #1 confusion - who my pal was. boy was i off. and i have to admit you did the greatest job of keeping me off track. i have to thank you ever so much for all you have shared with me throughout the year. my gardens will forever remain gorgeous because of you and my heart will forever be filled with smiles at your kindness and geneorsity. #2 confusion - ruth/lil -- i didn't send that. i had ordered something for you back when it was your birthday that never was shipped but it wasn't from maine. i mailed your package out yesterday. i can't be that out of it that i don't remember ordering you a wreath LOL but then again! someone else deserves that credit and it sounds like a great gift. sure hope you enjoy the one i really sent! yaya, you will be missed. you really ran a tight ship and i so appreciated being a part of this group. i must admit, for a while there, i thought you were my pal. now i see how wrong i was. go figure. since i have been full of doom and gloom this year, a year i can't wait to end, i have some happy news. we got a new pup. he's a total freak, into everything, so mischeieveous, a pain in the butt, but so playful and sweet. i do think he's missing something upstairs, unless i just don't remember "puppy". already he's so spoiled. but it's just wonderful to have an animal in the house again. it was only a short period of time, but i certain missed having that special something! now the better news -- even though i am a youngster myself (LOL), i'm going to be a granny! i can't wait. things weren't done the "conventional" way, but what the heck...it's going to happen anyway! it was truly a good thanksgiving! it's been my pleasure belonging to this group. i'd love to stay in, but with the way things have been, i feel it would be unfair of me to commit for another full year. rose - i wish you as much success in running the group as yaya had. i'll even come around and sneak a peek and chat a bit. be well all, talk to you soon :) happy holidays earthly

Hi, Roman. Came across your post in a search for unanswered pots. Is the tree still pushing out O2 (still alive)? How's it doing? Al

You sell "wholesale", unless you are lucky enough to find a collector who is looking for that very piece....and you b uy retail, after a shop owner has taken their mark up. There are 2 types of appraisals for antiques...one is an estate appraisal for a quick sale, and the other is a replacement appraisal, what it would cost to go out and buy that thing tomorrow. I had a long time dispute with my insurance carrier, about appraising my sterling silver. They wanted me to pay the premium on the cost of replacing it at a jewelry store, and I knew I could replace it for less than half that at other places.AND....they wanted me to pay a "certified appraiser" to figure out the price!! I won!
