Oh no...groundhogs like Campanulas? What am I saying? The only thing they've stopped eating is the invasive Garlic Mustard I'm trying to conquer without much headway. Drat...I've got three Campanula I got on sale last Fall, babied through winter in containers and now need to go into the mailbox bed. If I can't find enough plants to withstand deer, rabbits, groundhogs and slugs I'm going to have everything in containers with fencing around a pot ghetto larger than I've already got.

You should try to find some seeds at the SA plant swap. Its on the 26th. They should have everything you need or want. I found almost everything that I needed or wanted at the Fort Worth one. It was great and I met a lot great people on here. If you want or need I have A LOT of purple coneflower seeds, that are going to go to waste if I do not find them a home soon.

Did you know that almost all hostas are hybrids and don't come true from seeds? The babies aren't gonna look like the mama. And unless you know specifically who the daddy is, there is no guarantee which traits will be passed on. Mostly, after all your efforts you'll end up with a bunch of greenies. The only way to get a real h. Rhino Hide (which is PPAF) is to get an actual division or a tc. Seeds from specific crosses will give some fabulous results, and that is what keeps the hybridizers inspired. Happy planting! -Babka

Recently took a shower in a house rental...I wasn't impressed with the cheap shower base. Felt weak and it creaked when I stepped in. First thought it has to be acrylic. Cast iron doesn't feel this way.... Now I am thinking of either Cast Iron or Onyx pan for my bathroom remodel. I am taking out the cast iron tub and replacing it with a full shower. Just like the pictures above. Also with sliding glass showers so I can easily clean with shower head sprayer. Sliding doors because I like to warm up the water before stepping into the shower...With a door shower, he have to step in first then turn and wait for the water to warm up...
