Very cool Lynda! So glad the weather is cooperating with your zillions of seedlings that will need to be planted out. Token, could be slugs. Don't forget the Sluggo or Escargo, these are 2 brands of slug bait made with iron phosphate. They work great and are considered organics - safe for pets, children, critters (like little toads, etc).

Thank you every one for the very nice comments.I thought I had already posted some follow ups on this post, but, guess I didn't.About me forgetting the names of some and had to delete them, what I usually do is,I bring a little note pad out with me, and some times,I walk through and see whats blooming, and ones I want to take pictures of,and write the name of them in this note pad.Then when I have my list made up,I go back and take the pictures,and put a ck mark by the one I just took the picture of,, or other times, I will take the photos, then write its name down on my note pad.When I load it into the pc,its all in order just like I took them..but that day,I had took several pictures and when I went to write them down in the note pad, the daughter showed up,and i got distracted,and thought no big deal,I will remember them, but,later,I didn't remember what I took pictures of. Thank you for looking at them,and commenting on them, Jean

Lambic, First let me say that it's not true than no one else has had the problem I have...with the broil element coming on during the bake cycle, and over-browning the food being baked. I read about it at least twice when I first had this oven installed, exactly the same as I was experiencing. However, on another thread someone suggested that perhaps the bake element (lower, under the oven floor) wasn't functioning and the broil element was attempting to maintain the temperature without assistance. That sounded so plausible, and would have explained everything, but when my husband tested the oven this morning, he said the lower element was definitely working. I was so disappointed... However, the bread dough proofing feature does not work at all (didn't matter to me) so I'm using that as an excuse to get a serviceperson out here and at the same time hoping to get some insight into the main problem with this oven. KA would not send someone out for that, saying it was "normal". I'll keep you all posted on this. Carly

The added weight of mud should help pull the wallpaper off if it is not adhered. If it's been skimmed and painted over already and it's not coming off, then it's probably stuck for good.
