Well first off, I live in Massachusetts, Zone 6 and winters tend to get pretty cold sometimes but not anything to drastic. I can over winter it in my cellar but that's down 3 flights of stairs and depending on how big a container I plant it in, carrying it down there could be a problem. I will probably just leave it on my balcony, there's a roof that covers it, which will protect it from the snow and I can place it up again the wall of the house; that should help some. The largest container I have is 12" plastic and I'm hoping this will surfice. I purchased "The President" this past spring at Home Depot and it wasn't even 6" high. I transplanted it to a 12" plastic container, using soil, compost, bone meal and spaghum peat moss and to my surprise, it actually bloomed, 4 times for me. The first blossom was beautiful but the other 3 were on the small side. I didn't even expect it to bloom this year, so I can't complain. I'm hoping that my Bluebird will do just as well in the same size container with the same type of soil mixture.

Please do let us know of your successes and (I hope very few) failures. I have my regular parsley in a place that's shaded during part of the day and it's doing fine. I've got the opposite problem -- almost no shade at all!

Hi y'all, ::smile:: I found my notes from last year and I had also posted this info for GA folks: Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The person who posted this says "When you call this number you will get a live person that will tell you where you can take the injured/abandoned bird, raptor, turtle, snake, beaver, etc.. The list the DNR has has licensed rehabber's by county and what each rehabber specializes in. Rehabber's do not charge a fee, though an in kind donation is always welcomed. Here is the phone number: 1-800-241-4113." Here's another resource, a website to check: http://www.awareone.org/ Which is Atlanta Wild Animal Rescue Effort they're headquartered in Lithonia but I'm sure they can assist those of us who aren't close to them (that'd be me). This organization looks very interesting to me. They believe in peaceful co-existence with urban wildlife. Here's a quote I found on their site which REALLY flipped me out: About the domestic cat: http://www.awareone.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=56&Itemid=9 "If your neighborÂs pet came into your yard and killed one of your animals, you would justifiably be upset. Well believe it or not this happens every day and probably in your yard. Each free roaming cat kills between 200 and 400 wild animals every year and these wild animals are yours to protect and enjoy. Many of these cats belong to you or your neighbor. Others are feral cats being trapped/neutered and released by well-meaning but uninformed cat lovers. All of these unleashed free roaming cats are killers and we are allowing them to devastate our wildlife. This is not acceptable. " I love cats, I have them but indoors. The cats are so much healthier if kept inside, for one thing. I see the cats roaming free in my yard and find feathers in places knowing full well what happened. Linda...

Hi Maggie, I'm in Sandy Springs. We found our Super White at A&S Marble and Granite Imports in Atlanta (North Buckhead-Chattahoochee Ave area) www.asmarble.com. They also have a location in Tucker. You may also try AGM in Lawrenceville www.agmimporters.com We also visited Marmi a couple of times www.marmistone.com. They have amazing slabs and are very helpful. For fabrication, we used Granite and Marble Solutions www.graniteandmarblesolutions.com out of Alpharetta. We really wanted to use them and they matched our best price from another fabricator. Good luck!
