Thanks, Marlene...lots of good 'weeds' this early Spring in March, still doing strong, too! For the 1st time ever, our March weather average is warmer than April! Weird, uh! I do love container gardening...hope some other GJers will share ideas! Jeanne S.

Yes, I remember. She had a way to make a lot of things in the garden work. I didn't agree with all of it, but that's design.....a lot of latitude. Whatever floats your boat and all that. General principles still prevail though. The Design Forum can be tough on people, but if I've got the courage to call most garden junk 'contrived clutter' in the Garden Junk Forum, then I have enough to see how it stands up to the design folks. You're right, it has 'dumbed down'. I'm on an extended road trip and don't know what Internet availability I will have as I go. Colorado mountains now, Salina, Kansas tomorrow, and then on to Oklahoma City. I should be home in three weeks. My adult son is holding down the fort while we are gone. Last long road trip due to gas prices......and old age. ;-) Is this garden junk?
