Hello Malmason, You can't order from Logees as they can't ship citrus to Texas. Also, you will probably want to purchase from a reputable nursery in Texas that can match you with the right rootstock-grafted trees for your area. Rootstocks make a big difference in cold hardiness and resistance to things like root nematodes for folks who grow citrus in the ground. I suspect, in Houston, you should be able to find a nursery that could help you get the right stock. Good luck! Don

Hello, I've used watertropicals.com several times this season, and have had terrific results with them. The lilies were huge, and they give you the pot and some fertilizer for FREE! I was shocked! (If you fill out their "comment" form, you also get a free plant, along with your other stuff) The catch to the free plant though is that it's only with your first plant order. I ordered some aquatic potting soil and did the form, but no plant. I called them and the lady said it was only with your first plant order. I found Lilypon's also and lot's of other plants REALLY cheap on there. Sorry, I can't stop gushing about these guys!

Judy, it's not so much the higher wattage on the medium burners that you need as on the big one. You should be able to use a flat bottomed wok on that and get plenty of power. I understand shy, but they really are there to help you. The Miele showroom in Beverly Hills is an especially friendly space, and considering its location I have to think that that's corporate policy! Hm... above statement was made without thinking through your way of cooking. The wattage on the mediums is important if you have a really big pan that you're transferring from the wok into, so want to wok on one of the smaller burners. If you're not ready to cook something yourself in the showroom, ask for a personal demonstration. Even boiling water should give you a good idea about the heat and responsiveness. Could you work up the courage to make an appointment and go watch the salesman or chef use the unit? Or get a pushy friend to come along and speak for you? It's important for you to be happy with your choices, and one of the best ways to do that is to actually see the appliances in action. Re gas, yes, you can use the wok burner with a grill plate, but there are single sided ones that you can easily use on induction. Also, some of the double sided ones with shallower edges work okay as well, at least on some cooktops. I have always roasted eggplants and peppers on the gas flame to get them charred on the outside and not overcooked on the inside (a distinction which may just show up my lacks as a cook in not being able to do this in an oven). I have a little barbecue grate that's made for the purpose. It's a trick that's not for the faint of cleaning, however. Nolamom, the magnet test is a great way to assess whether the pots you have will work with induction, but if you're buying new it's probably worth your while to get pots that are known to work particularly well. Since I already have a lot of Le Creuset (works great with '60's coils, gas and induction all and I love the enamel), I don't know the specifics. Do a search here and you'll find recommendations. Some steel cookware has different amounts of steel in the sides of the pan and the bottom, so it cooks a little differently than one that's all the same. Some have more steel than others. Etc. Cast iron is pretty much cast iron, though weight and thickness will effect the way a particular pan works in comparison to another. Enamel shouldn't matter (it's an insulator but I haven't heard that it impedes magnetism). I have a little Turkish coffee pot which is stainless but doesn't attract a magnet at all. I can't remember if I tested it on Mr. Induction (all this stuff is packed for demo), but I'm pretty sure it won't work. :) Anyway, what I'm trying to say is if you're buying something new, make sure it will work well rather than just work.

Hi! This is a very old thread, but I was wondering what pulls you ended up using in your kitchen? I saw a picture that you posted of your finished kitchen and it was beautiful!! I would love to get that look. Did you use 3" wide pulls on all drawers? I wasn't sure and was guessing. I also wondered how much clearance there was between your drawer faces? Did you have to do anything special to the drawers to accommodate the edge pulls that you used? I don't want to have to route out a notch for the pulls, so wanted to make sure that the cabinet maker allowed enough space. Thanks so much!!
