Catching up with everyone here. If anyone has any Iris left would they throw a bulb or two my way please. For seeds I have: dirtdiggin offering hollyhocks a mix and sassybutterfly offering hollyhocks,jackmanii,datura and brugs,and red honeysuckle. Thank-you both very much Also looking for ornamental grasses and japanese morning glory's. These are the seeds offered too: Mark:cotton tree and loofah gardenmom:loofah dan: loofah plant-one-on-me:loofah sassybutterfly:yellow pea vine lots of loofah seed left. greenthumbgrow have you down for the cherry jubilee cuttings Dan.....I pick my loofah's when they are still green on the vine ,but the stem has turned brown. I peel them when they are green as well, much easier. I give them the squeeze test .....if they give some and you can hear the fibers in the skin breaking then I peel them by pulling off the end first, then running my thump up under the skin. I make a tear all the way to the stem end and then peel it off in one big piece, running my thump under the skin to loosen it as I go if needed. If it does'nt give easily then it's too soon.Give them another day or two. Don't lay them on their sides either,as the moisture can cause them to start rotting.Lean them up on their ends. Once peeled I then lay it in the greenhouse and let it dry, I sometimes have to turn it over the next day, depends on how hot it gets as my gh is not regulated temp wise. Once completely dried, I shake the seeds out into a bag. I find by doing it this way I end up with a very nice white sponge. Letting it dry out and turning brown before peeling makes for hard peeling and a darker sponge that has to be bleached. You can then cut them and use as you wish. I cut out the center membrane(grind that up)and use both in soaps all the time. That's just one of the many uses I get out of them. Not to mention the number of people that stop by wanting to know what those things are growing on the fence......real conversation starter! One other interesting thing about the plant. They have a male and female flower(yellow). Male flowers show up first, followed by the female, both look identical, but the female bears the fruit. I will leave it up to your imagination as to what that looks like. Ants also love the plant and may act as pollinators, so don't be alarmed by what appears to be a take over by ants. Thats my lesson on loofahs.....hope all that helped. Night everyone Regina

vala55, I second what chi83 suggested--Ever Clean is the best litter at eliminating odors (that I've used for our cats). We use the ES (extra strength) since it is made for multi-cat households (have/have had 2 cats). Other litters we'd tried; Pet Gold (sold at Petco), Tidy Cat (w/ w/out crystals), and prob a few others, just did not do a good job at eliminating odors. We NEVER smell cat pee with the Ever Clean. If one of the cats has just pooped, you will prob smell that (if you walk into the room with the litter box, not throughout the house), but the Ever Clean usually eliminates that smell fairly quickly. We scoop twice a day (though sometimes once a day), so the box might not smell clean if it's "full" but again, that's only if you lift off the lid and stand right over the box (we use a covered Booda dome, which might help with containing any unabsorbed odor). Even our non-cat owning/loving friends have commented on the fact that our house NEVER smells like cat, that you wouldn't know we had cats if you didn't see them. The only gripe I have, is that boxes of the unscented version are sometimes plenty scented/perfumed, and our cats then smell like perfume after using the litter box.

Thanks aprilneverends, I appreciate you looking into it! On another note, I was thinking that the technical specs must exist and found them on the Encore online catalogue, which states "Our tile is vitreous and frost resistant. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications , areas that experience freeze/thaw conditions, water applications (baths, pools, saunas, steam rooms, fountains, showers), fireplaces and light traffic floors......." Regarding sealing, they suggest the tile needs to be sealed before install (and then after so grout is sealed) and that you should then follow sealing manufacturer suggestions on any future sealing. I need to ask my tile guy about that. The good news is that they are safe for wet applications! And I would still love to see a post/pic from anyone who has installed these tiles :) https://issuu.com/encoreceramics/docs/2017_catalog/54
