Hi all. I've ordered some native pitcher plants (Sarracenia) and am looking at sources for native orchids that would do well along with some Droseras that are native to the area as the little tropical ones wouldn't survivie the winters here. My family has a tradition of putting "large" basically impossible items on our holiday gift lists every year and posting them in the kitchen. (two years ago my daughter had Johnny Depp on her list) This past year I had written a bog. What a surprise to actually get one. Judy

This spring I purchased an arbor and a trellis. They are both white vinyl and I am happy with how they look, I just wish the roses would mature a bit faster to cover them up a bit. The corner trellis is next to a crucifix/holder for upside down tomato grower from the infomercials:) The arbor has don juan roses on each side but they are still babies.. Maude

25 quarts a *day*???? I am green with envy! (Please, somebody, toss some autumn leaves on me to restore my balance...) Congratulations on your wonderful, & reliable, & constant, source of nitrogen!

Hi Janie... I remember you from my early years on this forum. It's been a long time but I've recently been coming back and reading posts and getting reacquainted again. I remember Bluebars too and Vonda (and a few others)...and does Malinda still post here? Anyway, I miss my blues so much (my ex-husband is holding them "hostage" at my previous residence...I did one thing right and that was teach him how to take care of them.) I guess they come back every year and for that I'm grateful because I left that legacy to the neighborhood. I taught everyone about the blues and they keep coming back every year. Now I if could only get so lucky and get some at my current house.
