Hey Teen! Glad to see you. Sorry about the mealy. What are you doing to rid them? Hey Rhizo. Long story. When you have time check the flip side for explanation. Surviving, barely. :) Saturday's temp was near 40..40 was a heatwave this January. It was 2F when I woke at 7:30am, 9.2 now. Yesterday it snowed..about 4" accumulation. However, it's sunny...still doesn't make up for the freezing temps. In the future, I will pay attention to Farmer's Almanac people. How have you been?

Best of luck to you. Seattle is marvelous.

Hi Glenda - I lurk mostly but am glad to see you keeping up with your travels! Things are going well here , has it been 5 years since you were in Boston? That was an enjoyable afternoon we got to spend together ! Do you have any fall cruises planned?

Hi Pam, Thank you for your comment on me needing help in southern IL. I only made it here with all my daylilies, my sheffield mum, and 1 of my true geraniums. botanicat, I was trying to find out about a trade or plant sale. I am here in no mans land, and need some plant starts. I have one last appt with my neurosurgeon in Atlanta, and I would be happy to come to anyone's yard and help "thin" a few things. There are quite few plant that I got from swaps that I loved so mucch and was not able to bring even a piece of. I potted up al my daylilies las summer, but moved in the freezing middle of winter. I have been checking to see what will grow here, and am so sad I could not bring starts of my favorite shrubs, etc. i will try to find a sale and make my appt around that time and let anyone know when. thanks. Lorinda
