Thank you bpgreen!! This forum search problem has been driving me crazy. I wasn't having any problems with it until just a few days ago. First it wasn't working at all, then the search function started working but won't let me access the links it brings up. In a way that's even worse -- it's like it's saying "Nah nahnah nahnah nah, you're answer's right here but you can't see it" Thank you again! Danielle

Get a copy of The Maritime Northwest Garden Guide published by Seattle Tilth. It is available at many NW nurseries and garden centers and also bookstores or online through Powells and Amazon. With a major contribution by Carl Elliot, former owner of Northwest Perennials, host of an NPR radio gardening show and very active in Seattle Tilth, as well as a bunch of other local, experienced gardeners, this is an invaluable guide for the new gardener or just new to the area as well as an excellent resource for the more experienced. It offers month by month planting recommendations (what to plant when), tips for extending the growing season, recommendations for organic pest and disease control, a detailed regional zone map and sources for plants, seeds and compost. Very inexpensive at around $12.00 (about half that if you can find it used).

What a twit!... Can anyone read anyone and everyone elses twittering? Is it like me posting here, that anyone on the www can read my posts? Do you have to join twitter before you can see and read just what it is like? I know you would have to join in order to post twit, which I won't be doing. I guess if one did not stop and think before twittering, it would be like opening one's mouth, and inserting one's foot, for all to see.

I cleaned my cache etc this morning and now my pages are Houzz. I had the dickens of a time trying to find the categories. I wanted to see what Hot Topics was doing, and when I clicked on Gardening, it doesn't give all the categories, as we know HT is listed below Hot Peppers. It took me right into Gardening discussions which I don't want. So now I manually change the houzz url to Gardenweb discussions OR click on my personal topics on the left. They are still Gardenweb. And, when it's Houzz, all of my discussion categories (KT, Cooking, etc) are all shown. I don't like that. I like browsing around Cooking or KT, I don't want all the discussions showing on the same page.
