mmqchdygg, I should take a look at that but have already bought too many seeds. That is one I really like though. I could try to save seeds from the one I have going now, don't know how w/foxglove, and am a little wary that maybe the plant may have lost its vigor and not produce the best seeds. I will give that plant some bloom booster if it comes back or if I get any more seedlings. My darn white foxglove, I went out with my camera this am, and the thing's blooms are facing the foundation of the house which is white! It must be confused and gets more reflected light than from the actual sun which is a scant 6 hours there. I was looking forward to seeing that one bloom, well it doesn't look normal. The partial good news today is that some seeds are starting to sprout in my milk jugs. I had them all taped up, ventilated and labelled, but you should not try that in spring. They were rapidly getting moldy plus I was in a hurry and usually run my things through a bucket of bleach water & rinse well. There were some milk rings in a couple jugs, always rinse but there it was, maybe that didn't help. So I frantically looked for what to do, sprayed with dilute H2O2, ripped off all the tape (packing tape this time, much easier), opened up the jugs, had to leave top hinged part on and pegged to ground because I taped my labels on the handles. THEN I had to cover it all with chicken wire and peg THAT to the ground as best I could because of chipmunks and squirrels.

""Since I only had enough bark for basically 10 plants total, I am going to try another mix using MG Organic Coice with some MGMC."" Make sure you add additional perlite as the MG organic choice contains none. Why would you choose the MGMC soil many say its not good for pepper use? Holds too much moisture. The Organic choice is very gritty and compacts hard if no perlite is introduced, if it was me I would also throw in some of that extra, smaller bark into that mix. Mark

The furnace model number with the XR16 is an XC80. Very similar to the XV80 but communicating. Must be a mistake. TCONT803 is a fine thermostat to use with the XR16 air conditioner and furnace. Overall, I do not agree with the equipment matchups proposed with the furnaces and air conditioners. Oversized furnace on both systems, and oversized coil to achieve marginal efficiency gains on the XR16 system. I realize you may not understand all the implications of oversized equipment, but it is a big deal for comfort, efficiency and reliability. All things considered I still recommend the heat pump system. This post was edited by ryanhughes on Wed, Apr 24, 13 at 13:54

Got a question. My shower has 3 body sprays that never worked right because they were hooked up with the other shower heads and therefore had no pressure. I opened up a part of the wall on the outside to see what I could do. The body sprays have a 1/2" presure balance system hooked up to a regular valve coming from the shower heads. I bought a Moen 1/2" posi valve to hook up to the body sprays and separate from the shower heads. My main is 3/4" branching off to the 1/2" balance system. My question is the 1/2" posi valve has small holes inside for the water, would it benefit me to use a 3/4" posi valve to mix more water or would that just turn down the pressure. I hoped I explained this right. I cannot redo the 1/2" balancing system without taking all the tile and cement board off and really creating a mess. Thanks in advance.
