I've posted mine before, but here it is again. I definitely suggest hen & chicks or sedum that can really take being dry. Otherwise you are a slave to them and if you miss a day or two of watering, they're done for. I didn't line mine - just planted directly in them, no drain holes, but did cut a hole in the toe and planted it also. I leave mine out all winter. I never water mine - they only get the occasional rain and once in awhile the hose hits them if I happen to be watering something else near them, which hardly ever happens. I've never done cowboy boots - only work boots, but I'm thinking it would be neat to fill them with dirt and cut holes up and down the sides to plant sort of like a strawberry pot.

It's that whack a mole thing goin' on. (grin) Daniella - now the preform with the little stuff in it (sans the fish) sounds like a good idea. I swear, I'm goin' back for those rubber lillies. I thought they were hysterical. I wanted to throw them in some "perpetual" puddles around here, just to see if anyone said anything. (grin) That and the face on my tree sticking its tongue out, pretty funny. (grin) Too funny about the Xmas fern! Ha - yep, next time, just leave it and see if it goes. The asparagus ferns are used everywhere like evergreens in CA - I fell in love with them because they're just so fluffy looking. And they DO take full sun, no matter what anyone tells you. They need alot of water if they're in full sun. They stay soft and fluffy when they're happy and get lots of water. When it gets tight on water, they get spiny (self defense because they have bulbous wet roots that animals will chase in tight water times.) But if they're happy, they are fluffy and will actually climb as well as have long trailers. They take a lot of abuse, too. I'm going to get a bunch of them and put them in pots on my back deck. Full sun, fluffy green. Eh - they'll be pretty without a lot of fuss. I'm gonna buy those monster FAKE bostons for in front. (grin) Was too hard last year keeping them watered and happy. So get a couple monster fake ones - put them in some iron stands - viola! (grin)

Hum the last post I can find for the originator of this thread http://members.gardenweb.com/members/drumminfool, is May 2005...wouldn't it be nice if he told us what he found out? Maybe he discovered he didn't understand how to work the mpg arithmetic and was too embarrassed to confess. Well, looks like we have a new question: a lightly used '93 Metro, only 48K miles, that's a little over 3K per year, doing arithmetic in the "head"...and embarrassed if incorrect :>), this must be near a low mileage record. Could that have anything to do with the, what I understand to be, a bad hesitation problem? Maybe all it needs is some "gumout" in the gas and/or directly into the carburetor.
