I got lucky this time, all fit and some are even keepers. One is deadly poisonous, Black Nightshade, wonder if it repels the squash bugs? LOL! Thanks, now I can quit pestering everyone! I spent this morning weeding, maybe near 2 hours and I found my garden lines again! I'll go back out and get rid of the Burnweed, some of the nightshade or most of them, I can see why they seed so much, the berries. This one is definitely going! My beets are so small, maybe this is why! "Data on the effects of Canada Fleabane on crop yield and quality are scarce. A Michigan study estimated soybean yield losses of 83% from 150 Canada Fleabane plants per metre squared in a no-till cropping system. There are also reports that dense populations of Canada Fleabane reduced sugar beet yields in Germany by 64% and the growth of new spring buds of grapes in Italy by 28%. In these crops it occurred as a winter annual. On the other hand, in carrots and onions on organic soils in Quebec, where it grows as a summer annual after spring tillage, its effects on harvesting efficiency are more detrimental than its effects on crop yield. Plants that emerge in autumn generally attain a larger size, produce more seeds, and are more competitive with crops than spring emerging plants. Canada Fleabane is a wild host of the tarnished plant bug, which causes injury to many crops. It is also an alternate host for the alfalfa plant bug, and for aster yellows, a disease transmitted to a wide range of host plants by the aster leafhopper." It's probably not the cause, but doesn't need to be there anyways! I'll know if the plants should start growing correctly. Thanks everyone!

Hopefully for you guys where posting pictures is not something you understand, this explanation may help a little. HTML is something called a "tag language", recognized by browsers - Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc. Commands in this "tag language start and end with brackets: Where SBR (start bracket) equals the single character symbol: And EBR (end bracket) equals the single character symbol: > I'm going to use SBR and EBR because if I put in the real brackets the browser will get confused. The most important part of the command to allow you to post photos in a forum like this is: SBRimg src="http://some url address"EBR If the URL is the real URL of your photo, putting the SBRimg src = in front of it, then the EBR at the end tells the browser that what is between the tag is a photo, and it resides at that "http" url address. Simple as that. Most online photo holders have a button you can press to get the "html" code for your photo. I use flickr, and the button is "share". For the most part you should just be able to cut and paste the entire thing right into your text here, and it'll display the photo. Most often there are additional tags like:SBRa href = "xxx"EBR, which means - allow clicking on the link. Or height = "XXX", width = "YYY" which sizes your photo in "pixels" on the screen. But mostly, finding the place to get the "html" code for your photo and just putting it in here with your text, exactly as it is shown to you, should work. Good luck!

John, the area around the perimeter of the land is probably six feet higher than the middle. That's where I put the new plant. Like I mentioned earlier...I was in the process of purchasing several plants to ship back. Just didn't follow thru. Wasn't anything really new that I "needed" or had to have. Durian, longan, and lychee cannot be exported. Ch3rri...santol was okay but certainly nothing to get exicted about. There is all that flesh but there seems to only be a small portion that has any decent flavor. The flesh clings to the seed like no other I've ever experienced. You would probably either wear your teeth down or just pass out thru exhaustion trying to clean off the seed. That nursery gave us a bagful to take with us. The bite you saw me holding in the pic was the ONLY piece of santol I took in the whole trip. Just wasn't worth it when we had so many other delicious fruit to choose from. Beautiful tree though.

VF is always almost perfect in opening and perfect blooms. Mantis is correct in that it blooms on shorter scapes. Mine is usually just above the foliage. And the blooms are very large so it seems well out of perspective. But it is gorgeous. And up until this year was a late bloomer so was quite welcome no matter the height. Mineral Springs has been slow to multiply. Hopefully, it will improve. Kate
