I'm not a beader, but there are a lot of bead lots and other misc craft stuff. I made my first bid today for some angle trumpet seeds. There's a lot of really neat stuff on the site. I appreciate those of you who signed up!

interduction is introduction! One suggestion if you are sincere is to give specific information for your area. There is much generic advice covering the U.S. but little specific for any given area. When I started my website years ago I tried to give advice for zone 5a growers as thee was little available elsewhere. Since then many books have been written and thanks to sites like the Rose Forum much more cold climate rose growing advice is available. Join a local rose society to get as much local information you can. Grow lots of different varieties to improve your knowledge and test/try various methods so your readers beneft from your mistakes. Don't copy others. Make it personal. A simple Google search can get most of the information people need so having well rounded local information in one spot would help. Visit rose gardens across the state and country for hands on experience. Put some authority behind your site. By joining the American Rose Society and becoming a Consulting/Master Rosarian you let people know you know what you're talking about. Check out my site. I get lots of e-mail thanking me for the information there, most from zone 5a rose enthusiasts. Here is a link that might be useful: Rosenut's website

Thanks for sharing the link! This was my 2nd summer/fall raising butterflies.There seems to be lots of great info there. I raised Monarchs, Eastern Black Swallowtails, Cloudless Sulphurs, and Sleepy Oranges this year.

Karen - good idea, I never would have thought of that. Personally, I am used to doing cut-and-paste all the time so I don't give it a second thought. And on the topic of tomatoes in pots, I have finally finished the... Container Growing page. Just got it done today. All you container gurus, let me know if I've left out anything important. Steve - I thought I posted a reply to your offer, but apparently I didn't. I thought I would need more pics than I actually did...maybe later this summer, I can put up a photo or two of my own fully-grown container tomato. Thanks!
