Interesting, thanks for posting. Kt

Check with your state's Extension Service. Each county has it's own Cooperative Extension Office which provides free publications and information for the asking. They will also have variety recommendations which have been trialed in your state. The following two images are excerpts from the Vegetable Planting and Planning Calendar for Missouri complete with spring and fall planting dates, how much to plant per person, etc. Just call up the office in your county. Look under the "Government" section of your phone book under "Extension". They will also have valuable vegetable/gardening tables available specifically for your area. Violet

I got a box of oriental lilies at Sams. I opened the box in the store and looked at the bags inside. I didn't see any blue mold and some had sprouts, so I bought them. It is good I approved of them because I couldn't get them to fit back in the box. The checker tried to fix it and I said that's OK. I feel bulbs because I have seen calla lilies and dahlias in box stores out in the freezing cold in spring like March when I needed a coat. I have reported it to the service desk and they said they hadn't had time to put them up. They think I'm a nut but I wouldn't want to buy dahlias that had frozen. Some people think they failed at plants and they had no chance from the beginning.

Sorry- my finger hit an extra '0'! It is 1000# VW's don't haul that amout, and they are not recommended to haul any weight at all according to my VW dealer- yes I have seen a couple with tiny trailers that must be hauling cotton balls! I should review my original post- I thought I put the info about what I was wanting to haul- maybe not. As sierraeast pointed out there are mountain passes (have to be careful when I drive with the horses with my Dodge Ram 3500 dually even then). And no, I can't use the truck as here in San Antonio the truck is a sitting duck to be stolen(three stolen from my condo complex this month- we don't have garages- though I doubt that would even stop a thief). I don't think the 'round trip' would work- just think- 1. It takes me 3 days each way. That is 6 days of driving, 4 nites in a motel, 4,000 miles of rental miles on the UHaul type rental, and gas for 4,000 miles. With all that-and I am disabled so driving is hard on me- I might as well hire a moving company... Anyway, I am waiting for a reply from UShip, and have called UHaul, (still no trucks available at this time). Still looking....
