I saw someone here with large squarish water jugs they were laying on the side so that is how I got the kitty litter container idea. the plastic one I was talking about is like the ones on the link I attached http://www.tidycats.com/Products/Scoop/ I think it has enough room. I planed to cut a flap and leave the lid/cap on since I would have a hole on the top for air and water. I could also remove the lid later for more air. I think it would work well but I am a newbie. bakemom, one other WSer is sending me seeds, thanks so much. Karen Here is a link that might be useful: Kitty Litter container recycle idea link....

Not sure what zone Tampa fall into, but Edith Malek the President of the American Clematis Society grows them quite successfully in southern California. I would stick with the type III clematis and especially the viticellas since they tend to hold up better in the hot sun than other types. As Jeanne suggested, plant them where they get morning sun and afternoon shade, keep them well watered, and mulch them very well. Avant Garde does very well for me in zone 7a planted in full blazing sun all day so that will be a good one to try. Give us ideas on the others you are thinking about. I agree with the others that Silver Star Vinery sends the biggest plants available. Dan at Brushwood also sends quart sized pots that do well. Although I have never ordered from them, Klehms Song Sparrow Nursery also is supposed to send clematis with very large rootballs. Just remember that the more you order at any one time, the cheaper the overall shipping per plant cost will be.

I've been around this forum for many years, and if there's one thing I've learned, it is that NOBODY is likely to use an FAQ!! With the possible exception of yourself, that is. I think there are several reasons for this. First, there are just SO MANY different herbs to learn about. It's possible to write volumes about each one, and why do it when there are literally millions of websites and books out there with the information? I think an FAQ on this forum would be so long and so cumbersome, it would be overwhelming for most people to read, let alone set up! Second, people LIKE to have their individual questions answered. It's the personal touch they're after. Even if they did read a FAQ, they'd still post what they believe is their unique question! Third, although the search facility here is not so great, if you type in 'parsley', then click on the 'this forum' button, you're guaranteed to get a lot of threads to investigate, which you can browse through, and from which you'll learn a great deal. Heck, given the countless times I (and others) have answered the same question over and over, it seems that not only would people NOT use an FAQ - they seem allergic to the search function as well! As Ksrogers has said, an FAQ about herbs would need to contain an enormous amount of information - not only about climate required, whether they're in pots or in garden, but also a thousand other questions, including myriad uses of each herb, its mature size, the soil conditions it prefers, the bugs that can attack it; how, when and which parts to harvest; how to store the harvest; even recipes - and much more. All that information is here - all you have to do is search for it. Here's an experiment. I've searched for 'parsley' and this is the result - 19 pages of threads! Now you do the same, using 'entire site' and see what you come up with! Better than any FAQ, I'll wager! Here is a link that might be useful: forum search results for 'parsley'

First, does anyone know who is in charge of the FAQ, and if that person is long gone, who wants to take over, if my idea flies? I propose the following, rough draft (and lets edit/add to it), to be a FAQ topic for folks who stumble into this forum looking for advice from us laundryholics. Any one of us can cut/paste the final questionnaire into the new thread asking 'Whats the best washing machine' and the OP can answer as many questions as he/she can to help us narrow down choices. Whaddaya all say - has this been done before? Washing Machine Questionnaire Do you want a front loader (FL) or top loader (TL)? If you want a front loader, do you want an internal heater? If you donÂt know, please read the Laundry Room FAQ (insert link here). Where in the house will the washer be set up  second floor, basement, closet? What is the floor made of? What are your space configurations/confinements? Are you looking for undercounter units? How big a machine do you want? How many loads a week do you do or want to do? Do you have special laundry considerations like shedding pets, or young children in diapers? Do you have any problems now that you are hoping to solve with a new machine? How important to you is the loudness of the machine? Do you want controls on the top rear or front of the machine? Where are your hook-ups  washer on left/right, stackable? Are you looking for just a washer, and if not, do you need/want a matching dryer? What factors are most important to you: cost, reliability, performance, speed, water/electricity savings, controls (specify things like: water temp, type and amount of cycles, cycle times, spin speed, ability to open the machine and add chemicals or clothes)? How much do you want to spend? Do you have a preferred vendor  Sears, Best Buy, Independent retailer, Lowes/Home Depot (some may have deals going)? Have you called a few of the extended warranty companies to ensure they are within servicing distance?
