Welcome! Stick a chopstick in the soil. Pull it out every once in a while. If the end of it is moist, don't water. If it's dry, water. You don't want to water on a schedule, only when the tree needs it. Hope you're keeping it outdoors!

Cathy - Thank you for your nice words, I hope to meet you one day since we are almost neighbors. Annie - Thanks. You still have time to get yours done, I am looking forward to see everyone's surprises. Sue - Thank you. It is good to know that we all like the Polish pottery. I think the design and colors are winners. Thank you Nancy for letting me know that I am not the first one with broken pieces...next time, I will be super careful. Thank you Riverrat for all your nice comments. The first picture is all the items wrapped in Valentine's wrapping paper. Collenoz - No, it was not insured since the UPS man told me it was safe I didn't think necessary. GWlolo - Thanks. I am relieved that the other items survived the shipping. Thanks Compumom. Lars - Thank you. You do have the right idea about the cake plate, now that you said I remember seeing them with petit fours. It will also look good with cookies, brownies or bars. I think the Polish plate is the size of a pie plate. I thought the red knife look different and was good with the Valentine's theme. Silvia

What a thoughtful gift! I love the apron - it is so cute! ANd I will admit to being language challenged - how does one pronounce the name of those tasty looking little treats???? I can't wait to see the recipe too... they sound awesome! Alexa

"I am not sure how to directly answer someone who responded to my first question. I guess you can call me a baby blogger. LOL" You just go back to the original post and respond in the "Comments" section.....exactly as I am doing here! And to get techie on you, a forum is not the same as a blog. A blog is your very own website where you write articles/musings and readers can respond. Right now you are a newbie forum participant :-) For specifics on your spider lily care, you can Google 'hymenocallis care' and various websites will appear that will provide guidance. Or with luck, someone who actually grows these as containerized plants will chime in. I have no personal experience with them myself.
