Thanks for the info. I buy my mealworms at Southeast Insectaries for $38 and change (includes shipping) for 5,000 large and they do a great job shipping. They include an icepack in the shipping container when the weather turns hot. I keep the worms in a 2" high 6X10 platic container with several holes in the lid. I also tie a small sponge under the lid and keep it damp. I use wheat or oat bran I buy at the Feed Store as bedding for the worms. I only take them out at about 3 weeks and place several slices of apple or potatoe on the top and leave them out of the frig for the day (I'm always sure to remove any apple or potatoe pieces before I return them to the frig so they will not rot). That is the only extra feeding I do and they last until gone.

I know we have had some raccoon's get into our suet in the past. There's no sign of any kind of struggle, but now the female has not been sitting on the lone egg. I have seen the Male, but not Mom. I saw a female but not too sure if it's her. It sounds like a snake to me, I don't think a Raccoon would be able to climb the pole, but I slicked it up with grease until i can get a baffle up. I don't know if I should take the spooker down yet or not. I'll probably wait another day or two and if I don't see any activity then I'll take it down, or set up my other box.

A very quick reply I only have two plants to plant and will be finished in 3-4 days. I can guarantee a photo then. In the mean time a very detailed Topic on. http://glassboxgardeners.com/members-journals/309-starting-a-terrascape.html I am in the process of writing an Article as well. Keith

Yes, you can mix and match chairs. However, we recommend you get the same style chair just in a different color. Here is an example from a design we did for a client:
