Welcome back! Yes, I'm still here, but I am now on FaceBook too. Daylilies WS great, most bloom their second year from seed but a rare few bloom the third year. As they are very hybridized the offspring will have some show of mixed parentage but I don't see that as being a bad thing. A few years back a breeder sent me some of her extra seed stock of the crosses she had made; everyone bloomed their second year and oh what eye-candy they all are. The lady told me that generally, when making crosses, a hybridizer will put "pretty on pretty" which (to me) makes sense.

Michelle, kudos to you on your annual plant sale for Children's Hosp. Boston / Children's Miracle Network! Just want to share that it was your spreadsheet on googledocs last year that gave me the idea for our Zone Wars spreadsheet. By using a table in html Manda had gotten everyone's screen name listed individually for the first time, instead of an anonymous total. But it was tedious to do in html & hard to hand off to someone else in the future. Manda had posted about wanting to use googledocs but did not get around to it before she got sick. I clicked through to your spreadsheet in reading about your plant sale last year, your charity plant sale organized in nice online spreadsheets. Just what we needed! I read all the googledocs help and voilÃÂ - easy excel in an online document instead of complicated html. Hard working Terrene has had to split merged cells and squeeze in extra zones but between NancyPlants and Terrene, Zone Wars is splendidly displayed. It is thanks to you! I made local donations of my winter sowing plants last year but I am not driving distance for you :) Hope Boston area residents will wintersow the 2-3 packets of seeds you ask & donate the plants for your worthy cause: Children's Hosp. Boston / Children's Miracle Network! Best wishes, River

I agree... didn't know what happened to UKGA until I read the last post in "Whiner's only." My prayers to you and yes, I am glad you are back and enjoying your garden again.

What happened? I hadn't noticed the KT was gone. Did you lose your electricty during the storms yesterday? I keep thinking about you posting you had your bike helmet ready. To me that's sheer genius. Everyone should have one. You should call the emergency preparedness people and have them add that to their list.
