Here's all I can find: http://www.kadel.cz/flora/e/kvCard.asp-Id=5387.htm Maybe get in touch with Lloyd Traven of Peace Tree Farm (according to this, he gave one to Martha Stewart): http://www.greenhousegrower.com/news/?storyid=3100 What a cute little plant!

I suppose by "soil-less mix" they mean perlite or vermiculite. You will find there are many ways people start seeds here. At first I tried sowing them directly into the garden, but our Texas sun just cooked the seeds. Then I tried the plastic cup method without much success, maybe I over/under watered them. I've had great success starting seeds in plastic containers with lids. I bought a plastic shoe box(Dollar Store)and punched some holes in the bottom(using an old screwdriver that was heated on my gas stove). Then I filled it about half full of good potting soil which I watered well. Then I laid the seeds on top and covered then with potting soil, about a 1/2 inch layer and again watered well. Then put the lid on, placed it outside in a shady place and then came the hard part...waiting. In about a week, or less they started poking through the soil. I left the lid on till they were touching it. Do not water during this time, but you can begin watering after the lid is removed. I left them in the shoe box until they were about 6 inches tall before transplanting to their new home, but I have left them much longer. I have milder winters and a very long growing season, so I usually start seeds this time of year for Fall planting. People in colder climates who have fresh seeds usually start their seeds indoors in late winter for Spring planting. They store their dried seeds in containers in the fridge. Perhaps someone from a more similar climate can tell you something about storing seeds.

I also have been talking to window people trying to decide if I want to replace my windows myself or have it done. The removal method that seems to be the most commom is to remove the glass from the frame, and then cut and colapse the frame to remove. They are probally nailed in with flanges and you could remove the nails but most say you can pull the aluminum frame out from the nails with pry bar after colapsing. They basicly destroy the old windows to remove. Hope this helps. Tom

How bright do you want the bulbs? Clear glass or white? G40 and A15 bulbs are smaller--make sure you buy them with the base size you are looking for. PartyLights.com has some lovely LED bulbs for string lights--which I have also started using in other fixtures when I want warm, low light. If you want utility lighting over your kitchen table, you will want brighter. If you want soft, dining light, 5 of these bulbs will be more than adequate. 40W appliance bulbs may also be something to check out.
