Hi Howard! Great to see you again. Your seedlings look just fine to me and its good that you have some of plants from your home grown pod. It is surprising how much water seedlings can use so they will need to be kept fairly moist, they don't like to dry out. I would imagine they won't go dormant this winter, or even the following one either, as DR's often don't when young. I hope your temps are good as here in the UK its diabolical, we have been struggling to even reach daytime double C digits!! It was 2c when I went to work on Thursday at 9am! Your plants look green and healthy so I am sure they will continue to do well for you, are you feeding them, they will need it now. Best wishes ;) Gill UK

I've got somewhat of a split personality when it comes to wishing wells. Most of the time I don't like them, but for some reason, usually at first glance they *always* catch my attention and make me catch my breath. Especially when they are on the grounds of an old house (100+ years). But once that initial "Oooh!" is over, I tend to think that I don't really like them after all. Weird, I guess. I also seem to like them - and this I guess ties into my liking them at old houses - I really like them when they are *real*. When you see a 200 year old house and there's a well in the front yard, you know it was once a working well. I looked at a house for sale recently, built in the early 1800's, and there was a well there, complete with the roof and all. Obviously it was sealed up, but had the pail hanging there, which was used as a planter. Looked really nice. Believe it or not, the well, like the house, was not in the best of shape, but that only added to the charm. Another thing that looks nice is when the open area between the wall of the well and the roof is filled in with lattice. There is an old farmhouse down the street, with its original well, that is like this, and they have annual vines grow up through it in the summers. I think since you have an old house, your well will look charming. I would definitely paint it to match the house, and personally think either the pail/planter thing or the lattice would look nice. Good luck, and let us know what you decide - and show us some "after" pictures! :) Dee

Maybe something like please help us fill the bassinet(crib or baby bed) up with all the baby things she will need. Not sure!!! Good Luck!!!

Got mine last year. Haven't taken pics of it yet as one of the two pips this year got a little frost bit and now half of it looks like carp. the other other half looks proper but the damaged half looks sick (plz don't be sick)
