seedsvr - the Pondmaster 190gph pump/filter/filters pads and sponges, and bell fountain kit cost about $50 to $60 (today). Don't remember what it cost in 2002/2003 when I bought that one. All plants are in small pots except the floaters. No soil, only aquarium gravel. I am in MD and I throw my WH on the compost pile at the end of the season where it continues to bloom and then dies either from drying out or if cold weather comes. I haven't had any WH for 3 or so years now. I'd actually like to get some more but I refuse to pay the high prices people ask for that weed. I have two other ponds now and the Pop-up sits in my garage as I don't feel like fooling with it (or my ponds for that matter:-) It was fun and I enjoyed it while I had it up and running for two seasons. I'd get a big tub if I had it to do over again (like suggested by another poster). I've never seen a clear pop-up before. When they first came out they were copper or dark like mine. Clear I would think would encourage algae with the light which means you probably won't see the plant roots or fish for long unfortunately.

I am a huge fan of thyme; I must have 20 different kinds around, at least. There are two basic types. Some (e.g. Thymus vulgaris, T. mastichinus, T. capitatus) tend to form discreet little shrubs and don't run around. I get seedlings only rarely from those. Others are rhizomatous, creeping ground covers that will wander far and wide, as far as you let them, even to the point of climbing up shrubs (e.g., T. pseudolanuginosus varieties, T. thracicus, T. serpyllum). I also find seedlings of those from time to time. I also grow lots of kinds of oregano. Greek oregano does seed around and run a bit at the root, but not too badly. O. rotundifolium 'Kent Beauty' expands very slowly and I've never seen a seedling. The rest are somewhere in between these two. The only one I have banished because of over-the-top number of seedings and root-aggressiveness is Hopley's (Origanum laevigatum). The nice thing about oregano is that it is very drought tolerant and happy with whatever incidental water it happens to get and growing it on the dry side keeps it both healthy and less aggressive, I think.

I use Firefox and this darn Pepperidge Farm has prevented me from posting for hours tonight. I finally went to bed, got up and came back here to see if I could post just to say happy birthday to Carla. I have adblock and Firefox, and another thing I bought from Norton to block the ads but that Pepperidge FArm is the worst I have ever encountered. I would never, never, never buy a product from anyone with so annoying ads, not meant to entice obviously but to irritate the hello out of everyone.

If you use the Firefox browser (free) from Mozilla, and download the adblocker feature, you can right click on any image, and there's a function included in the box that opens, to permanently delete the image you're clicking on. And it also keeps all the other ivillage ads away as well. I never see a thing. There's also a neat feature that works as a spell check for what you type in message boards like this one, in the list of available features for the browser you can download. I've read Firefox is also much safer, virus-wise than Rxplorer. I never use Explorer anymore. Here is a link that might be useful: free firefox browser

No pop-up's with FireFox. If you want to eliminate those annoying flash ad's, FireFox has a add-on called Flashblock (http://flashblock.mozdev.org/). Keep in mind that the blocker works too well, by eliminating all Flash animations (including those that you might actually want to see)

I almost never get pop ups, either. I am getting this one, though. I don't like it at all.

I can not stand it. It takes that much more longer to get to the point where you wanna go, every moment is precious when you have 3 little kids running around.....

qdognj, what operating system are you running? Do me a favor, go to the control panel, then click system, the 1st page you will see will tell you the version of XP you are running. Be sure to include what sp (1/2) you have.

I would tell you to go to the Panda Scan link below. Run a scan, see what happens.

With Firefox, you need to install the Adblock Plus add on. Some days it doesn't get all of them on my Vista computer, but it worked great on my XP machine. The one ad I see is opinion mart. If I leave it alone, it goes away.

I usually don't have to deal with pop-ups but this one is breaking through. I have popup blocker - and it works too good - but this ad is obviously written with some code that my popup blocker has not caught.

I run Windows XP Media Edition & use PC-cillin. I haven't seen the popup until this morning. For some reason, GardenWeb spontaneously logged me out & my screen went wild. I logged back in & the popup is gone along with the screwy page positioning. Gremlins in GardenWeb?

Yes, for some reason my pop up filter is not working with this ad. It wouldn't be so bad if I could watch it once not seeing it again but even if I watch it, it shows up again and again. It does NOT make me want to buy the product, just the opposite.

The reason I asked for the OS and sp is because there is a Java VM problem from a few years ago that used to open the PC up to malaware.

If you go to the link below, you can read about it. Look at where it says
How can I tell what version of the Microsoft VM I'm using?
Here's how to determine the build number you're using:

1. Select Start, then Run.

2. On Windows 95, 98, or Me, type "command" (without the quotes). On Windows NT 4.0, 2000, or XP, type "cmd" (again, without the quotes). Hit the enter key.

3. In the result command box, type "Jview" (without the quotes) and hit the enter key.

4. In the topmost line of the resulting listing, you should see a version number of the form x.yy.zzzz. The final four digits are the version number.

My other computer that was down was affected by this at one time. I learned about this after working on a friends son's computer. I reformatted the drive, then started patching by going to google. Before I knew it, the system was already infected. Once I did the fix, all was fine.
