Heart of fire is always a favorite, Gillion looks good. My Gillion is another one that lost down to one fan this winter. kay

Yea Chad-that WILL be an issue but thats why it is next to the porch,so I can add on and secure it to the house(-: The 2 varieties I like are the New Zealand purple and the Ricin "Zanzibar" -the latter is the big leaved one (-; Sometimes the leaves on the Purps do look like cooper but it is difficult to capture on "film" All the other Castors are normal sized,the 4 big boys jumped out quick and with the help of a week of 80s in March they broke out of the seedling stage fast-one of the nice things about having all the protection laying around from the palms is that I was able to use some of it on the Bananas and Castors. At one point my Abyssinian grew like 1' in a few days because it was hitting the 90s in the cover- Also-the 4 biggest Castors were planted (by at least)April 6 and I think that is a month earlier than "normal".

Look at the plant in back of the front one in that first picture, It's smaller and leaves are turning yellow. I think it;s a tomato but can't see theleaves that well. I'm kind of next to you in upstate NY and yes, we have had some heavy rain. When that happened and my plant were inground, there were several low spots in my tomato field that pooled water. First the plants would wilt, then foliage turn yellow and then brown and then RIP. What happens when the soil or artificial mix gets water saturated is that the plants can no longer get any oxygen Do all varieties go down ike that? No, b'c not all varieties handle water in the same way. So I'm suggesting that's what you are seeing with your plants in containers, and I can just hope that those containers have good drainage holes, or have a layer of rock at the bttom and are deep enough, Carolyn, who has some of those same containers, the round and square sand colored ones, but mine look deeper.

Revlon has an eyebrow pencil that is half pencil and half eyebrow mascara. The pencil is fairly soft. First you add some pencil to your own eyebrows and then go over it with the eyebrow mascara. The mascara doesn't come out too thick and it's not clumpy, but it sticks to any little stray eyebrow hair you have, making your brows appear fuller. It also smooths down any wiry hairs and keeps them inline with the rest. I really like it.
