Thanks for answering Dan. Yeah I kind of know what they mean calling them weeds lol. I have ONE amaryllis that looks good when not in bloom - Papillio. It has a lot of nice strong green leaves year round. Being in the North, I have to bring my pots in and on the sill in the winter so I'm guessing the low light is what causes the other leaves to not look their best. I'm also trying to figure out if using a different fertilizer (I just use Schultz houseplant fertilizer in the winter and Miracle Gro in the summer) will help get healthier and more abundant leaves. I have a friend in Louisiana who has a wonderful collection of gingers. I agree that they're beautiful and I'd love to smell their fragrance too. I've only got so much room to zone push though! Good luck with your seeds.

They should all do very well after this hard prune. Give them some alfalfa pellets.

Butterfly4u! I is always great to see you. I hope you have been fine. Thank you for the nice comments.

Well it's 8:00pm and my replacements haven't arrived. I called and the truck that was suppose to contain my replacements hadn't arrived. Have to wait until tomorrow to find out when they will arrive. You know, I'm not even upset anymore, I'm so beaten up over this whole process that when they get here, they get here. I'm using my kitchen with a few minor inconviences like some pulls missing on the replacements and some missing crown moulding. I guess in the scope of things it's not that big a deal. Lukki... I haven't been posting much but I've been lurking. How's your kitchen coming along? Paigeysmom posted the other day, she's winding down too.
