It's still looking like I may be able to make it but not 100% sure. I've also got a few Curry Leaf Tree (Murraya koenigii) seedlings that I can dig up and I can try to root cuttings of Mexican Oregano if anyone is interested (if all else fails, I can bring cuttings for someone to root). I've found three Dwarf Powderpuff seedlings that should be small enough to transplant. Tom, I've been accused of being willing to try most anything, although vines have become one thing that I've said no to (I'm fighting to remove a number of vines from the yard, some invited - most not). Sterile is a selling point. I can add the lime to my citrus collection. keiki, everything you mention sounds good. I've had a "banana" for the past 10 years which has bloomed twice and produced fruit once just in time to freeze before it could ripen. I believe it's a plantain and would much prefer a more palatable fruit. My wife has been searching for some old angle wing begonias that she used to have so I'll always take them. I tried to collect heliconias a couple of years ago but only have a couple of the common varieties left. I've acquired a number of bromiliads over the past few years as well. Necklace pod is a hummingbird plant. Not sure where I have room for one now but (with a little work) "there's always room for one more". Steve in Valrico

Sounds like fun!

By the way, have any of you used SuperThrive (vitamins & hormones) on your tomato plants? If so, what conclusions have you garnered?

Hi Geraldine,, Great to hear from Newfoundland - no, I was supposed to spend time in Newfoundland with my mom and family but I decided to stay put in Quebec this year - and now I'm happy with all of the storms and all....it's great because when I get home on on the evening of the 21st, I don't come back to work til Jan 02nd..so I'll catch up on a couple more blocks during my time off..and do projects that I need to complete.... Cheryl, I just wanted to check something - I hope that I understood what you wanted for your block - but now I'm reading the insturctions again - for the 9 x 4 1/2" blocks, were each of these squares to be a different white/off-white because I cut my 9 squares from the same white fabric....I hope that this is correct...I was thinking that different white meant that each block can have a different base fabric - now I'm thinking that you wanted all different fabrics within the same block....just wanted to recheck..... Wishing you all a great day...we have tons of snow here.......the most I've seen in a very, very long time.....there are piles that I can't even see over.... Bill
