Annie Lovely. How do those dix droight di Napoli taste? Never heard of that tomato variety before. John

Hello and Good Morning, I'm home but have to return to work Monday for a meeting but then will be off again until next Friday. I've been struggling with this cold/virus since last Friday and it has really knocked me down. I'm on my 2nd round of antibiotics for it. Tony, yes like Susie mentioned, with the economy being like it is, and with the many, many nice swaps there are. We just threw it out to get some ideas on what everyone thought about it, and if we would have enough participants for new swap. Carol, thank you for the input. Yes, to be honest I've not traded for much for hosta due to the hosta virus. I should have mentioned we can trade hosta as long as we are sure they are virus free. Sue G, we would love to have you! Susie, I hope to catch you on line this morning. I will be back later; I smell coffee, LIFE IS GOOD, Annie

My 6 year old DGD is in a theater group, they did Annie at the beginning of December. The moms took all of the girls to see the movie a few weeks afterwards~the girls of course loved it and had to act their parts out as they came on screen~~I wish I could have seen that ;)

That was a great interview with Dale Martens and interesting info on those "other" gesneriads, esp. her explanation on how variegation came to be in streps - and the tip on leaf propagation of a variegated strep was something I had never thought about. That was such a valuable tip. The podcast is a little over half an hour - well worth your time!
