If we can't, my apologies. (Admins, please remove if this is not permitted.) I have no relationship/ties to the co-op organizer. I am just ordering plants, can see that it is a great deal and want to share. I have been on the GardenWeb for ten years (wow, that long?!), am a very active member (pretty much daily) and have never heard that we can't share sources. In the past ten years, I have posted links to Lowes, Home Depot, local nurseries, eBay sellers, Craigslist sellers, online retailers and even friends who want to swap! But that doesn't mean I'm not wrong. This would be a new one on me. The co-op prices are excellent for anyone who is interested. Carol in Jacksonville

prairiemoon, Thai basil has a different flavor, almost completely different, more cinnamon/licorice-like. Darn it's been so long, I can't remember the taste. Unless they are trying Asian recipes, they probably wouldn't enjoy it. Our garage is semi-heated so I have the Confection squash there. Last year it was kept under my husband's workbench in the cellar. The Pennsylvania Crook Necks are sitting on a bench in another part of the cellar where it is cooler. The cellar used to be very damp (old fieldstone foundation) but a few years ago the walls were sprayed to keep out moisture. So far so good. Those are also supposed to keep for 6 mos. I wasn't going to grow them again since like many butterNut types, they are watery but a recipe for caramelized squash was fantastic (roasted with brown sugar). Confection is very dry so I have used it mashed or cubed for Thai curries or other casseroles. I use either squash in recipes for baked goods esp my favorite pumpkin ale bread. I usually add either lime or wood ashes to the garden. We burn wood so there's always plenty of ashes available. I found a source of nicely composted horse manure on Craigslist. The owner mixes manure, kitchen scaps, ashes, etc and turns the pile with his tractor bucket all winter. In the spring it is beautiful and he only charges a nominal fee to load our utility trailer. When I build a lasagna style bed, I give some of the layers a good sprinkle of ashes. I need to re-check suggested application amounts. I love Alaska nasturtiums because the leaves are so pretty. Two years ago I had a lovely yellow climbing nasturtium that did great. Last year it was a bust and didn't climb the ladder I have leaning against the wall. I might not have watered it enough since water priority went to the veggies beds last year because it was so dry. I have cooked with flowers in the past but I'm not a big fan. I grew borage last year specifically for the pretty blue flowers that taste of cucumber but never used it. I have started file folders for recipes to use during different times in the garden year when there's a lot of sugar snaps, spinach or zukes. I started digging out my old herb recipes that I put aside when I didn't have fresh herbs to use. i.e. Rosemary jelly is very nice and good in thumbprint cookies. Opened up pickled tarragon sugar snaps this weekend. Some people liked them, others didn't because of the tarragon flavor and red peppers. The bizarre cucumber from Baker Creek was Poona Kheara. Very nice eaten fresh. You don't have to peel but the skin turns brown as it gets bigger. Starts off almost white. Seemed ok in pickles but I just did easy recipes like freezer dills.

Maternut..Wish we were neighbors. I have more COT's than I know what to do with. Can't toss them, but they sure take a LOT of room. When they were purchased, all were babies..Guess I didn't think they'd someday grow larger. lol. Larry. Cold shouldn't harm COT's, but those I recently brought indoors, 'after several nights @ 35F/1.7C, a couple nights dipped 32F/0C, a good number of leaves dropped..Some leaves had frost-bite. But like you said, Euphorbias are tough. Unfortunately, not tough enough to be outdoors for long periods at 32/0. Wonder how OP's COT is doing.

Thanks, All. E. Milliis and Thais are The prettiest and most colorful Euphorbia flowers around..not to mention all the new colors!! Makes one want to shop..lol.. Karen, I'd appreciate if you'd ask someone at the Plant Society. Rare or not, I was curious why colors differed. Thanks. Pug, I feel 'good inside' when you compliment my plants, especially after viewing all your beautys. When I see or think Adenium, the first thing that comes to mind is your huge, flower-filled Adenium..It's the best!!! Honest to God, yours is the prettiest I'd ever seen. Please post it again.. :) Now Stephania..Your Euphorbias are beautiful, much nicer than mine will ever be, but the difference is, I don't live in Thailand, let alone able to keep tropicals/succulents outdoors 365 days per year, and 366 on Leap Year. :) Even your Aglaonema, in Pic 4 is doing great. Again, much nicer than mine will ever look. Have you ever visited the US? I live in the Midwest. The center of United States. We endure gray/freezing/dry winters. Sunless and succulents don't mix. Even our summers are short, and seem to be getting shorter each year. So, yes, your Euphorbias are beautiful, and I'm sure you're proud showing them off..please don't take this the wrong way, but I don't post pics to compete. I too am proud when a plant flowers or variegation remains on leaves after several months of darkness. I also enjoy viewing others' plant pics..wish there were more.. BTW, I adore your E. Thai, last picture. I would love to find one...guess I'll start hunting..lol.. Would you happen to know its name? Again I want to thank everyone for your help..hugs, Toni
