Hi Mike!!! I agree with Butterfly.. Put her outside and pot her up into a bigger container!! You know the mix that I used and you of all people can make it well!! ;-). I used the 5-1-1 on yours!!! Acclimate to full sun and it will love it!! The others that i sent out to Robert and Mike have done well, so I know yours will be fine too!!! Working hard and taking care of all of my plumeria!! I think I have to many! Never.... ;-) Grand baby takes up my time as well, but its a good thing!!! I love it!!! Hope you are well and you all are warming up finally! What an awful winter we have had!! I did lose one palm , but the ones in the backyard are all doing well. I had to hurricane cut the Butias , but they are pushing fronds!! Thank goodness.. I was so worried!!! Give mom a big hug for me and sending more to you as well!!!! Take good care, Xo Laura

Rhonda, thank you so much for being our new director! You did an awesome job and gave us a wonderful swap. :) I'm having a great time today planting all the wonderful stuff I came home with! (Well, not ALL of it...it's going to take a while to get all that monkey grass in!) I really hated that we missed Kathy's presentation...if there was ever one I'd have liked to hear, that was it. :( But Mom was needed to help set up a master gardener event yesterday afternoon, and I admit the cold got the best of me. I'm excited about the pavilion next time! I must have also missed the request for donations. Let me know if you need some $$. BTW, my email at home seems to be working again :)

Earthly, do you think you could paste my messages on the other thread? I have not been able to post over there for awhile. I can read it, but the posts don't take. MAN! Do y'all wanna hear a bummer? I've had Dawn's stuff together, but can't mail it 'til Monday. It's been chosen just for her and her interests. So, it's not really stuff I could save and just give to someone else. Well, I was out shopping today for some items we needed, and guess what, of all things, in a totally unexpected place, happened to run across. A big ole, heavy, cast metal, hand-cranked, COFFEE GRINDER, that's what! I guess it was sort of fortunate that my dh was there w/me because it was over $50 just knowing he was there was enough to make me keep my sanity and not grab that thing. Sorry, Dawn, it was a bit (quite a bit) over my budget for buying and mailing, but it HAS made me think of you all day. I'm glad for my pocketbook and me that I had already done my shopping for you. You're going to like what I DO have for you, though. At least, I hope so. Debbie, once upon a time I told you that your gift would arrive when you least expect it. This is true. It is also going to be when I least expect it. I was away on vacation during your month and purchased things for you then. I have not been able to find where I hid them from myself. It's driving me nuts. I know that they made it home because I saw them as I unpacked, but I have not been able to find the bulk of the "souveniers" from that trip. Debbie, dear, you've never been forgotten, but you HAVE been misplaced. Also, mamabird's turn MUST come before mine because I have special plans for that package. I owe her big time from something else.

wow, i just realized i have been spelling jenell's name wrong all along too. dawn, i am impressed with how observant you are. what made that jump out at you?. shame on me. all this time and i was Aing you, when i should have been Eing you. how are you feeling in this heat Luna (playing it safe now). you don't have much longer to go but this heat has to be so uncomfortable being pregnant. i had the bulk of my pregnancy during the winter. i don't handle summer heat well and i couldn't imagine it carrying around another life. alison, so where did you travel this go around? anywhere exciting? really stinks that hostess dawn can't be on this board. i wonder if she would have better luck now that the forum was sold. where the heck is mudmonm? i haven't heard hide nor tail from her in quite a bit. how are you debbie? carol, how are all the pups? okay, if i left anyone out, it wasn't intentional, but i think i have us all covered. anyone still have anything blooming? i have asters (i think that's what they are), a few easter lilies that are in their second bloom and hibiscus that i great from seed. i am so proud of myself. they are light in color with some pink. i am going to try to get some other colors in some seed swaps this year, although i am debating if i want to do see rr's, as i have so many and hate to have more. i really want to use what i have. is that possible? the people next door should be ashamed of themselves, their poor dog cries and barks and whines to get inside and they ignore it. tsk tsk tsk. they have no business having this dog. happy blooms, earthly
