Hi again, nope, no window that we can use for sun. It is too big for the kitchen window, and I don't trust it in the kitchen anyway, way too much traffic... and the only South fasing window is my dad's room, and I don't think he would like it in there, he would have to clean off the dresser!! lol But to tell the truth, I am almost ready to ask him. Other than that, this house has no real sunlight coming thru the windows, very dark house, and our room is an add on from the garage and there is a covered carport above our window. We don't get the sun fasing the front of the house anyway. Just daddy's window and a few short hours thru the kitchen West window. The house I want, hoping by next year, has windows all over the place!! Here's for hoping! So, if it looks good and healthy and light is the issue here, I am not going to worry too much about it for now. I can only do with what I've got. Going to get colder for the next few days, so they are stuck in here for a while. BUT! on a good note, I am collecting rain water! well, trying to, taking a lot longer than i thought it would to fill a bucket-- lol One of the few things I miss about Washington State. ;) But thanks for putting my mind at ease on this issue. Do you still want a picture of it? I can get it real fast.. ;) Marjie

Did you remove the dirt the plant came in *before* you re-potted? Here is a problem w/c&s: most nurseries use some percentage of peat in their soil mix. When peat gets completely dry, water rolls right off it...it becomes hydrophobic, as they say. Since c&s requires drying between waterings, it is a setup for failure. If your roots are still bundled in this they are probably starving. IMHO, when you purchase a new plant, you *must* remove the nursery soil; gently shake it out, or even wash it off, put it in soil you know is appropriate for it. HTH btw - nice clump. Jo

Wow, wow and wow!!! Thank you soooo much Kathryn, the box was packed full of wonderful things. Okay, the list ; ) She sent a wonderful pink glass windchime, 2 packages of lily bulbs, wonderful cuticle cream that will definitely come in handy come digging time, a magnet clip, a cute bunny pen, junior mints and york peppermint patties (my favorite), a cute easter bucket, floral incense sticks, a crystal dragonfly pot sitter, a package of peat pots and the best thing of all......heirloom veggie seeds!!! And what a selection she sent, from my favorite heirloom seed supply house. There were 11 packets of seeds including several squashs, lettuce, peas, soybeans, pole beans, eggplant, and some flowers called "kiss me over the garden gate". Thank you sooooo much!! I just loved everything.

It must have been the luck of your Irish decor that you won the basket full of goodies! The napkin rings are perfect for Easter and that wreath can be used spring & summer! The handpainted tray would look great with a small teapot & cups on it for Easter! That cage, I had one exaclty like it some years ago, before the tablescape world entered my life, think I sold it at one of my garage sales. Karen, must admit, I have started my Easter decor, since I only have the small St. Pat's vignette in the middle of my table, I've started Easter everywhere else in the house! Oh my gosh, have been seeing bunnies with the blue delft all over the internet in vignettes & even stopped at a thrift store & Home Goods today looking for one. Home Goods had one table of Easter decor, just like Hobby Lobby, they are not carrying much stock at all for the holidays. If not for thrift stores & garage sales, I think we'd be out of luck right now for new things!!!
