kyartist2001, I'm soo sorry that this thread has gone on as it has. I know I sure would be POed if I posted my excitement about new trees and got WW3 COMPLETELY off the topic I had posted. There are 2 things I can think of you doing.. 1 complain to GW 2. go to your settings and set it so you won't get e-mails from the forum. I thought it was a cool option to have the replies to a post sent directly to me.. but after seeing THIS I am not so sure it is such a great idea.. Since I see that you are new to GW.. here is how you get the posts to stop.. *I HOPE* Go here http://members.gardenweb.com/members/ click on "Edit You Page and Preferences" In the pink section that comes up.. the 4th checkable box it says "Have forum replies emailed to you. (When you begin a new message thread in a forum, you may choose to have posted replies emailed to you as well. You will still be able to check or uncheck this when you post to a forum, but you can set the default here.)" Un click it.. might unclick any thing having to do with e-mail. scroll down to "Save Your Member Profile" I hope this works!!!! If not I would contact GW about this post.. unreal @63+ replies.. I really hope this hasn't made you just hate this forum. It is always nice to have other citrus Newbies like myself.. I learn just as much from others posts if not more than from my own posts.. GOOD LUCK!!!! I really am sorry this thread has gotten WAY out of control!!! Hope you stick around! Gina *BabyBlue* Here is a link that might be useful: http://members.gardenweb.com/members/

Hi All -- I have read questions about Harris Nursery and so wanted to let everyone know that I just had my first ordering experience and it was a very positive one. They had a plant I have been unable to find elsewhere and wanted very much. First plus! I corresponded with Ruth at Harris and she was very nice about answering my questions and getting back to me. I ordered two trees and they arrived within 5 days of my order being placed -- which was over the weekend. This would be from FLA to CT. The trees arrived in great condition and they are great! The shipping is a little more than some of the other sources, as I don't think you get a break on quantity unless you buy four. I have also had great luck with Briteleaf and I've ordered from them on a couple of occasions (Toni, thank you for that recommendation!)and will be ordering three from Anna this week. Stan MacKenzie and MacKenzie Farms are wonderful, too. I was also very pleased with World Wide Plants when I got my lemonquat and Eustis limequat some years ago. Trans-Pacific Nursery in Oregon is another one I have been very pleased with and they do ship small items, which I like, since I now have over 60 varities wintered primarily in one small sunroom. Since I live in CT, I can just take a ride to Logees -- I have been pleased with their plants as well, and like the fact that they offer small specimens. For you e-bayer's, I have been very pleased with the plants I got from Secret Garden, as well. They offer auctions, so you can get a gallon-size citrus at a fairly low price, and will give you a break on shipping if you order multiple items. Evergreen Gardenworks deals in plants for bonsai culture and I got some small flying dragons from them to try grafting at some point. They ship small, too, and these arrived in good condition and nicely packed. All in all, I have been very fortunate and very pleased with the plants I have ordered. An exception to this was Ty-Ty. My personal experience with that order was not good -- the plants died and they were not at all accomodating. If I recall correctly, they shipped bare root, and the plant was not in good condition when it arrived. I would not recommend bare root shipping for citrus based on this experience.

Nice mural! I'd pick out the most neutral color and paint the remaining walls the light beige/taupe of the sky. Then you can have the green chair, blue bedding, red and gold accents...pretty much any color will work with a neutral background...and the mural will always be the 'star' of the room. It might be fun to repeat some of the items in the mural, in other parts of the room, too. Maybe have the toy chest or toddler bed, look like the boat. Stuffed animals that are similar to the animals in the mural, maybe even some 'leaf print' fabrics, at the windows. Have fun with the new room! :)

I placed my first online order for trees from two different vendors. Harris 3 trees, two have CLM which is fine, the 3rd three is so pitiful I would not have given $5 bucks for it, instead of the $38 it cost. Brite leaf sends nice trees glossy leaves and a nice size . Lesson learned read the post from others on this forum and take their advice. All the citrus I have purchased in the past have been from retail vendors where I could pick out what to buy. I would buy from four winds if I could afford the shipping charges. Nancy
