HEHE!! OK, so everything is unpacked and I'm happy as a pig in you know what, lol. Dweeby Baby!! Those aren't cuttings, they're trees! LMAO They are huge! Thank you so much! (((hugs))) They all arrived in perfect condition! And now I have your address, na-na-na-na-naa-na-..OK not as good as your Tarzan yell, but hey, lol. Kristy, Thank you! What kind of canna is that? I love canna! How in the world did you know that Vanilla Lace is my fav?? Very good choice there! Love the seeds :) (((hugs))) Thank you! Karyn..all I can say about your package is Holy Moses Mother Of Pearl! Was that a box load of goodies or what?!? I have been wanting Passis!! I don't even think I got to put that on my wish list yet, lol. Pencil catus yay! He's in a pot already :) So many seeds I can't even begin to list them! Some I've never even heard of, got lotsa research to do :) The one package didn't look too well, everything had grey mold on it. The cactus, and other cuttings that I don't even know what they are, lol. I need your help! I wiped everything down to try n get off the mold, the cactus was the least affected. I think the ones labeled NOID may be plumeria? Those were the ones most affected by the mold. Also the bottoms are moldy. On the one, the whole top half is very rubbery. What can I do to save these? The other ones I am clueless..one says "HI DBL L'A" something, but theres a sprout in the way and i dont dare push it aside to read..better to ask than by accident knock that lil guy off. I dont know what the others are either.. Can you please tell me what they are, what to do and how these plants should be planted..go in water? str8 to soil? what kind? New plants yay!! And Marian..Top Elf...thank YOU for starting the whole SS. Even though I didn't join because I am a newbie and didn't know it went beyond brugs, I still got wonderful gifts. You ladies are amazing, thoughtful, generous, and O so kind. This whole group is amazing. OK by now you all know how I can go on and on about this..so..shutting up, lol. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for everything. ((((HUGS))))) Daniella

I never bump up my pots, unless it is a tree or shrub, but yes some have tried baby blue eyes. One thing about wsing is that the seeds will germinate when they are ready. So it isn't like they will be huge before you plant them out. This plant here is a cool season annual. So that blooms pretty much all year but it loves cool weather the best. I do not mess with green houses either, this system we do not have to harden off and we don't have to worry about damp off. If you were to plant in a green house you have both of those that you will need to plan for. My tulips are already coming up, so it won't be long and I will be ready to plant!!

I'll have to look for that olive oil - maybe they will have it at Surfas. I'll bet it's quite tasty! Diana did a great job researching on you - congratulations on having her as a partner! I'll have to check out Lucques Restaurant some time when I'm on Melrose - they're having "dia de los muertos" this Sunday. I'll be interested to see what recipe you try first. The print goes really well in your house--the framing looks very elegant. Lars

That IS a bargain! It's hard to beat F-R-E-E. I got two recently. One was Saturday when I went online to Penneys web site to order a set of dishes. It was a service for 12 that was regularly $199 -- and in the sale bill they were just $99. When I went online to order them, they were just $79! :-) Another was a bumper we had replaced on my truck recently. DH got estimates in the spring, and one body shop was nearly the same cost for a new one as to repair the hole in the old one (about $450). A few months later, DH calls the one and asks if the estimate is still good. Body shop says yes, so husband made appointment. We took the truck in. Body shop calls husband to tell him the truck is nearly done---and there was a mistake with the esimate. Bumper cost $1200 but they will "eat" part of their mistake and it will only cost us $900. When the dust settled, body shop stood by their estimate and we did, in fact, get a $1200 bumper for $450. We didn't know their estimate was wrong...just knew that for about the same price as fixing the old one, we could have a brand new one.
