I think you've added a new plant to my wishlist=) Found a bit more info on them in the link below. Any chance you'd be willing to trade a seedling? I have Zephyranthes citrina (small yellow flowers) and Zephyranthes candida (white flowers, blooms after thunderstorms). Send me an email if interested. Thanks for the great informative post! Angela Here is a link that might be useful: Zephyranthes atamasca

Favorites? FEDCO FEDCO FEDCO!!!!! Love that catalog, and I wait to order from everywhere else until it comes out! J.L. Hudson is another great catalog, with many things you will not find elsewhere. No pictures, not at all fancy, but full of fun seeds. Southern Exposure, Peaceful Valley, and Territorial are also wonderful.

Aren't the first ones wonderful? What is it about the first tomato? My cherry tomatoes (Supersweet 100) always give me the first thrill of the season. For me, the first snap pea is like heaven. The first green beans were eaten yesterday, too, and that was a thrill. Fortex pole beans are the best because they are extra long and give you more bean for the space.

Well I took mine apart and checked all the clear hoses and little T's where the hoses hook up to and all were clear of any food or anything. Just before closing it back up and giving up I noticed there are little legs on the lid that stick into these holes on the bottom part and those had little rubber covers over them. One of them wasn't all the way to the top like the other one was so I removed it from the under side since I had it opened up and it had some food around the little rubber thing. I took that off and it went back to the top like it's suppose to. I think if it's not shut just right it went work and that was keeping mine from shutting right. Anyway it's working perfectly now. I googled and watched a boat load of you tube videos on how to fix them. One guy added a bit of hot glue to the little leg thing because his had broken off or something and it worked when he let it dry. They are just VERY sensitive and cranky. lol Anyway yesterday I found another F.S. at a garage sale for 5 bucks with almost a whole roll of the bags so I bought it. It was a church garage sale and come to find out it was my nieces F. S. She said she had used it twice and had tried to vacuum seal some blueberries and it started sucking the juices up into it and she stopped. So I don't guess she used it anymore after that. It has a button to push that has wet or dry. Anyway it's one of the upright ones more up to date than the one I had. I am still keeping my other one though since i have it going just for a back up one. ALSO you might need to take the rubber things out and wash those so they will swell back up so it can make the seal. Mine had powder on them it felt like so I just took a damp rag and wiped them off really well. I hope you get it figured out and haven't tossed the other ones. You may figure out what's wrong with some of them by watching the video's. :-)
