25 looks like a "sparce" The Fairy rose to me. It looks like a baby plant but the form of the bush with the leaves is so classical. Of course, more opinions would help. 24 looks like Flower Carpet rose. I guess I cannot do two links on one post, but you will see it in HMF. ............Ooooh, I would love to be right for you, heehee! Good Luck and a big congratulations on the birth of your new baby girl - Fantastic news. Have fun! Pauline, Vancouver Island Here is a link that might be useful: The Fairy

Glad to hear from you kathi!Winter sowing can keep you busy, I did winter sow last year but nothing this year.Well tell your brug babies to hold on a little bit more cause spring is almost here. With my brug seeds I have noticed that after they come up and on any given day that we have had warm temps I put them outside for the days that it is warm and this helps them so much more than just light from inside the house. Good Luck with the rest of your seeds. Hi dweeb!Good to see you around, hope all is well in your neck of the woods:0) Rigo

I never quite thought of it that way but my "fear of salty foods in worm bins" is not for the sake of the worms but for the plants the vermicompost may help to grow. Typically salt is kept out of plant growning mediums. Worms may do fine with what bit if salt may find them. If fed BSFL castings they may have even saltier kibbles and bits. I would still endever to obey my fear of salt in additoins to the bin. Although I may of given up a bit of ground while laughing heartly over my fear of salty foods in worm bins I find it much harder to conceed over the need for air. I do not find the need for air/ventilation at all exaggerated. If anything I dream of a worm bin with sides as air condeming as chicken wire. I wonder if the drainage holes in bins are actually more useful as air holes. I have no explination for the kept fishing worms in small tight lidded Styrofoam containers for weeks without ill effects. But would agree that worms kept cool need less air due to their bedding needing less air due to microbes needing less air. hhiii, any interest in making a few more nicks in the rim/molding/insulation of the bin and putting the cover firmly back on to see if the worms would also congrigate along the air free flow areas? A balance between keeping warm and keeping airated is what I guess you are looking for.

Well, I ditto what everyone else has said! I am glad you feel like helping to revive this forum, I shall endeavor to also!
