Knowing which plugs are hotter or colder than the ones you presently have in your engine is easy if you're content to stay with the same brand. Nearly all of the world's plug makers use a number-based code to designate heat range: foreign firms follow a system in which higher numbers mean colder plugs; American companies do just the opposite, assigning hotter plugs higher numbers. Unfortunately, there is no semblance of order beyond this point. One company, Champion, is in a state of nomenclature transition that makes its product line inordinately confusing. The American Rule applies at Champion, but in an odd way, spread across three series of heat ranges that encompass touring and racing spark plugs, old and new, with double-digit numbers assigned to some and single digits for others.

Luke & Shari, your wonderful, fun swap package arrived here a few days ago! I know,...I should actually have posted long before now, and please forgive me, but we've had kind of lot on our plate lately. - So, anyway, WOW! What a great bunch of seeds! "Isodon excisus"? Whoa! Apparently it's a Chinese medicinal herb with pretty little flowers that can also produce frozen ice ribbons which also look like flowers. There are also indications of anti-carcinogenic properties. Gonna be further researching this puppy for a while. Then there's "Edible Chrysanthemum". Shungiku? Sounds like fun! Oh, and all the other totally fab-splendid seeds...! Mammoth Sunflower sized thanks to all who so generously participated! GardenWeb totally rocks the Houzz!! :)
