Super! Thanks so much! One more question, I swear. I pulled plants previously and they look rather sad since we get such cold weather here early. Should I pick large plants or divisions for the swap? I don't want to be the only one who brings "wimpy looking" or sad plants, ha-ha! Also, pots, my amount of pots are sparse. I have pots but I don't want to get rid of them all for the swap. Can we bring plants in coffee can containers or I also use old 2 littler bottles cut down, with holes in the bottom to promote drainage as a way to recycle what we use in our home. Course, again, I don't want to seem "cheap." Thanks so much and sorry I seemed frantic before, I was just hmm, frantic. I also bake so I'm planning on bringing chocolate no bake cookies that are more like fudge, and new miracle grow feeder bottles with the garden hose attachment and some other goodie bags I made up. I was going to give them at Christmas to encourage family members to start a garden and decided against that because it will be snowing around that time. Thanks and I can't wait to be there!!! Katina Plants I have to bring are: Stonecrop Sedum: Autumn Joy Daisy: 1 Hybrid variety, Orange/Brown, Red & Yellow they change colors Hosta: Lg (Wu) variety Hosta: Lime Green variety Hosta: Green Variety Hosta: Dark green and white stripped Dianthus Red Hot Poker Liatris: Purple, Gay Feather Succulent Ground Cover (For containers only) invasive Celome Seeds: Invasive (but pretty!) Apple Mint Chocolate Mint Garlic Chive Butterfly Weed Orange Swamp Milkweed: Pink Some other Ohio Native Plants Some rare plants. House Plants

Hi All, It is not that people spend more money on gardening, though some do. It is that there are way more people gardening than any other hobby(it is not a regional thing, people do it all over the US, rich and poor), so take that money collectively and more money is spent. Yesterday, I spent most of my time at the hospitals again. My grandmother is getting better. She had another chest x-ray to make sure the pneumonia is gone. If she is well, she will be transfered to a nursing home to get more rehab so she is stronger to go home. My mother-in-law is still not well. I went last night and she was sleeping again. So I have not had a real conversation with her about what is going on. MMTina, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope it is a good one, maybe spent wintersowing, lol! I have to go get some potting mix myself today. Shirley, Congrats on winning!! Did you make that cake? : ) Annie, Sorry to hear you are having to do hospital stuff with your family too. Deb, The groundhog sure was off! It is snowing here again. Maryanne, I'm so glad to hear you had a great time! I wish I was going to the flower show with you! Well, I will be going to the Rochester show which is very nice next week, but it is not the same as Philadelphia. Talk to you all later, Remy

I will go to the doctor this evening. My sinus infection is back. Can't talk....tried talking to Sprint over my landline because my stupid Sprint phone hasn't worked since yesterday morning. Got it figured out as I was on hold with them. I've been taking Tylenol since Friday when the headache and sore throat started again, so not feeling horrible but want it to just go away and stay away. Been sick for about three weeks now. Have to pick a few things up at Wal-Mart and that's it. Not doing anything else. Neighbor across the street started working on their roof early this morning. Everyone is mowing their lawn and I wish I felt like doing mine but I don't. I may go out this evening and spread some Preen. Hate using it but I also am tired of pulling and digging weeds...and they're already starting.
