Depends on what your soil temps are. Soil temps, not air temps, is what is important to germinating seeds. And even for transplants, short of freezing air temps, it is the soil temperature at root level that will determine if they will survive or not. There are many charts available both on the web and in previous discussions her on what soil temps are required for planting each different crop. Dave

Thanks for thinking about her. The results of her blood test were that her white blood cell count was very high (around 7000) and they think she has lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis. The first person I spoke to said they wanted to send her to the clinic for the biopsy and then I spoke to a different vet and he said he wants to try worming (panacure) and an elimination diet. I ordered the Natural Balance online and per the vet, I have been slowly introducing it to her. I give her a can of that a day and a can of her old food. I tried feeding her just the Natural Balance but she went on a two day hunger strike and refused to eat the natural balance (wouldn't eat more than two or three bites a day) so the vet said to introduce it gradually. I also have the dry natural balance and none of my cats will eat it. My oldest female seems to love the Natural balance soft food (duck and green pea) but my kitten will only eat a few bites of it. She is used to eating chunky food in gravy so it may just be the texture she doesn't like. Her weight is stable though and she hasn't had any diarrhea for about two weeks! (and for the two weeks prior to that she only had diarrhea maybe 3 times). She is running around and playing as though she feels fine. I also stopped giving her the bene bac gel about a week ago. And she still hasn't had diarrhea. Since the diarrhea has cleared up even before I started changing her food, the vet does not think it was her food that was causing the diarrhea. One think I've noticed is she eats less than she used to (used to eat 3-4 small cans a day and now she eats maybe one can total as she has to share with my other cats) She hasn't been wormed yet either (I stopped at the vet's to get the meds and they were out and were supposed to call me when they got it in but haven't yet suprise,suprise. I will stop there in the next few days to try again. Thanks for asking.

nutbunch- I was also interested in design ideas and features that would make our pool more maintenance friendly. I travel a lot and wanted the pool to be as maintenance free as possible when I'm away. We decided to go with an in-floor system combined with a negative edge. Both are expensive options, but the ease of maintenance was important to us. The negative edge acts as a big skimmer for the army of leaves we have in the fall and winter. This keeps most of the leaves out of the bottom of the pool so they do not need to be removed. The few leaves and debris that make it to the bottom of the pool are removed by the floor cleaning system. The negative edge pit holds lots of leaves and is easy to clean periodically with a leaf net as it is only 3 feet deep and 3 feet wide. It takes about 2 minutes each day to manually remove the leaves with the net. If the pit goes unattended for a week or so, it takes about 10 minutes to manually clean it....that's it...no cleaning of the main pool at all. Hope this helps!

woodrose Yes. but that is a biblical Christian viewpoint. The OP asked when/if meet your creator, not when you get to heaven. It is possible to believe in a creator without being Christian. There are also other religions that believe heaven is for all who have lived a good life, not just a chosen few. So I think in the context of the OP we have to look at his more broadly.
