Oh, you are very welcome! Sorry, I did not mean to be rude, it is just my poor English. I struggle every time I write in English, but since nobody else answered, I tried to be helpful. What I meant: you have all info you need to know more about your plants. It is just really easy to do: First, go to the google site (google.com) or any other site with a search engine (yahoo.com is another one). Then enter you key words into search textbox and press 'Search' button. You will get tons of info about your subject. Also, you can choose 'Image' option. You will get pictures that have your key words in their names or descriptions. In your case the key words are either common names (blackberry lily) or scientific names (Belamcanda chinensis). Scientific names are better for searching because they are unique. Did people from the Perrenials forum identify your plants correctly?

Mari, I don't really overwinter anything indoors, so don't have any idea what will or will not survive inside. I do put my potted daturas and brugs in the tornado shelter once they're dormant and overwinter them there in a dormant state with no light and only a tiny bit of moisture to keep the soil and roots from totally drying out. My borage tends to reseed, and if I start some indoors from seed and set it out "too early", it doesn't take off until the air temps and soil temps are "just right", so I don't know if overwintering it indoors will make it take off any more quickly. As for those people who say certain things won't grow here, so don't bother trying....I wonder how hard they tried? Here's my experience with many (not ALL!) new veggie gardeners who give it only a half-hearted try: In early to mid March, they till up a piece of land that has either native pasture grass or bermuda grass with lots of crabgrass and other weeds. They don't bother raking out the roots at all, or just make a half-hearted effort. They don't add anything to the soil at all. Usually they have clay soil (in our part of the county). Sometimes they add sand. Unfortunately, sand + clay = adobe, more or less. They plant onion plants and seed potatoes (late for our part of Oklahoma, but better late than never). They sow all their seeds in rows on the same day, planting cool season crops mostly too late, and warm season crops mostly too early. They plant one lone row of corn on either the north or south side of the garden, ensuring poor germination since corn needs to be planted in blocks. They plant squash seeds too close together so the plants that do sprout severly crowd one another. They get poor germination, so they water....and water and water and water, thereby drowning what they do have. They don't hoe or pull weeds either, but might spray the weeds with Round-Up (so, of course, it drifts onto nearby veggies and kills or damages them). They decide in late April that their garden is basically a weed-filled failure, so they run to the store and buy tomato and pepper transplants--way too many of them--and plant them way too close together. Then they overwater them because they think water is all it takes. By late June the entire mess is buried under knee-tall bermuda grass, crab grass and Johnson grass, and often that Johnson grass is already several feet tall. And these are the people who tell me that "you can't garden here, stuff doesn't grow here, the weather is too bad, the bugs are too bad", etc. etc. etc. Well, gardening as they practice it does not seem very successful. And, some of them do exactly the same thing time after time, maybe 3 or 4 years in a row, before they give up. I always wonder why they don't do a little research and try to figure out what they are doing wrong, and then correct their practices. All I can think is that they've never read a book about vegetable gardening. If they stop by our garden and ask how I do it, I tell them but then they tend to tell me "that's too much work", so that's their choice, isn't it? If I had a nickle for every "new" garden that I've seen started and abandoned here as I described above, I'd have a few dollars. And, during that bad wildfire year in 2005-2006, our guys went to a fire or two that was essentially dried-out Johnson grass and corn stalks left in an abandoned vegetable garden plot. I'm not poking fun at wannabe-gardeners, by the way, just pointing out the half-hearted efforts I've seen and making the point that they are doomed to fail based on the little amount of effort that's gone into them. You get out of gardening what you put into it, and that is only if Mother Nature cooperates and gives you some assistance. I love the entire gardening process, so I do the whole thing starting with soil improvement, composting, mulching, etc. and I expect good results, whether from trees, shrubs, flowers, herbs, veggies or fruit. I don't always get them, but when I don't get good results, I figure out why and try to correct the situation. The ones who say it can't be done, well, IMHO, they're quitters. That's their choice, of course, but I don't want to listen to them whining and telling me it cannot be done, because I know that it CAN! Dawn

I got past 35! But now stuck of 56 which is the split screen with the chocolates and black screened jellys. I can't seem to get to the bottom level and when I do miraculously I can't keep back the growing chocolates. It makes me crazy how slow the game is to clear so I can click on something, but meanwhile the chocolates keep invadingâ¦. I think I need a striped one and a dotted chocolate, but those are so hard to get in the small upper area! Hate this gameâ¦..

Thank you all so much for your suggestions. I came home tonight and was excited to drop the feeddogs and quilt away, but thankfully some of your comments prepared me for what happened next...the needle broke again! I decided that enough was enough and I should change tactics and I got out my walking foot. I'm happy to report that I have not broken a needle since changing to the walking foot. The thread has broken a few times, but I've been adjusting my tension and I'm going very slowly and I've just managed several lines with no thread breakage, so I'm definitely on the right track. I really appreciate the comments that FMQ just might not work, because I felt like it was something that I was doing wrong and if I could just figure it out I'd be able to FMQ. I'm happy to finish this quilt with the walking foot. But I thought I'd answer the questions that some of you asked below... I read Angela Walter's blog and she often quilts with 2 layers of batting to add extra poof and show off the quilting. (She also is a professional and long arm quilter.) Anyway, I just wanted to try it to see what it would do to the quilting. I had planned to quilt a feather with lots of swirls and other filler around and I thought a double batting would be interesting. I didn't buy a denim needle, but the next time I'm in a quilt store I'll pick up some and then I can try this again sometime. The needle breaks above the eye. The thread is still in the eye after it's broken. The plate around the feeddogs is not moving or getting in the way - but that was a good thought. Meldy, I wish you were my neighbor because it sounds like you are able to FMQ through a LOT of layers! I'm using a Juki TL 98E, which I think is pretty tough. Thanks again for all of your help. I'm feeling so much better than I was last night!
