Ok, I want to make one thing very clear, and I hope I don't get booted from GW for doing this, but the person who is responsible for the current condition of our RR is lilyroseviolet. Oh my gosh Skohler (Susie), I can't imagine anyone ever thinking you could do something like this! I really, really enjoy being a part of gardenweb. I have met some wonderful people here (met my best friend here!)I have learned (sp?) so much from some really versesd gardeners. I have received some beautiful plants that I didn't even know existed. I have just been opened up to a whole new world here. I honestly would be very, very heartbroken if I wasn't allowed to be apart of this place. I hope lilyroseviolet doesn't become vindictive, and get me kicked. I've not even seen what was in the box yet, but from the description of everything, it was basically junk. In my opinion, that is ust not acceptable. If someone doesn't have much to put in, then just put in what you can, and pass it on. I have been bashed, and called a dime stare and dollar store junkie, that I go on dime store binges. I have been accused of promoting the way society is becusse I shop at department stores. She speaks of my mentallity because some things in the box was make in China. It just went on and on. Then she procedes to bash me on another thread, after she has told me to refrain from contacting her ever again!!! THis IS NOT my way of getting back at her. I am simply letting all of you know what happened to your things in this robin...the truth. Honestly, I have no intentions of "getting back" at her. I have not contacted her since she told me not to. I don't plan to. I am just disappointed and hurt. But, I will get over it, smiles. It's not a life threatening situation, LoL. Susie, I am so sorry that you thought that I was insinuating that it was you. Tina

Hi Diane, I have been building a couple of new raised beds, since the weather has been so nice lately. I had thought of making one of those new beds into a nursery bed for things that need a little more time before putting into their permanant spot, and also for things that I'm not real sure I'll like. I was thinking that maybe I should put these bulbs there until we hear from Ara or figure something else out. I agree that they need planting, but I didn't want to seem greedy. Janet
