We are the Hippy Hippi Lovers! Just a subgroup on this list. Like the bulb trades that we arrange between ourselves, this is just a support "thing". Nothing will be posted here about who's doing what...just the teaser post to get people interested. As I said, if you are interested, email me privately! The winner could get some well-deserved bulb fund money! :-) K

Blue and white with chocolate - looks pretty and yummy to me. No rain here yet, but temps in the high 30's so snow is melting and everywhere it's becoming muddy. Did have ice on the sidewalk and stones this morning though. I had just started supper at 4pm, so decided to wait until 5pm to have some Prince of Wales tea with a piece of "Friendship Cake", given to me by a friend (of course)for Christmas. My tea cart has been under a pile of books for a number of years now, and since under Lavender Lass's influence I've began to enjoy my tea again I need it to set a tray upon. But, that means unloading the books each time, so instead I'm going to look either for a bookcase or a small side table with handles. Does anyone know what I'm thinking of? I'm sure I've seen tables like this where the top is tray-like and to move the table about you just pick it up by the handles. Just a small one to place beside a chair is all I need. For Christmas I was given $75 in gift certificates to my favorite antique shop! but they don't have what I'm looking for right now. Are they sold new anywhere?

Yeah I am going to try the wicking trey, and I am also going to plants seeds in regular seed starting pots. I have about 50 verities of seeds to start, so I think I will do 1 of each in the wicking trey and 1 of each normally. I also plan on putting half in the ground and half in pots after the last freeze. I just canÂt do one plant of each verity I need at least 2, so I am going to have around 100 plants maybe... I am using 20 watt 1000 lumen bulbs, keeping them about 3 inches above the seedlings. I cut a 4" diameter hole on one side with the 50 CFM bath fan blowing in. On the other side I cut six 1" diameter holes so the air can flow through. I covered the holes with screen to keep bugs out. Sam
