Luke & Shari, your wonderful, fun swap package arrived here a few days ago! I know,...I should actually have posted long before now, and please forgive me, but we've had kind of lot on our plate lately. - So, anyway, WOW! What a great bunch of seeds! "Isodon excisus"? Whoa! Apparently it's a Chinese medicinal herb with pretty little flowers that can also produce frozen ice ribbons which also look like flowers. There are also indications of anti-carcinogenic properties. Gonna be further researching this puppy for a while. Then there's "Edible Chrysanthemum". Shungiku? Sounds like fun! Oh, and all the other totally fab-splendid seeds...! Mammoth Sunflower sized thanks to all who so generously participated! GardenWeb totally rocks the Houzz!! :)

Hi Maggy and Cory . I really like this site . I am always logged in which I really like. Posting pics are a breeze . The only thing that I can say that's not that great right now is the actual writing just a bit slow . I posted a pic in bugs 15 I think that its right side up. It took me so long to find my password to my email . I am like Mikey not the greatest techy Lol. Your going to have a lot of drunk scale bugs or one hell of a drunk plant Cory. Sounds like a lot of work . Good luck my friend. XOXO Brian

Hostabuff: I'm not sure if I've gotten your problem right or not, but there are two names that Houzz can have. The first name is the one they log you in with each time you enter their domain. That's the one that initially says taken if you try and use your old GW name. If you don't assign yourself a new name they will assign one to you which is usually your old GW name with a bottom line after the name followed by a lower case gw. Hostabuff_gw for example. If you want to change that name when you are on the forums themselves, you go to "Your Houzz" logo in the upper right of the screen and change it to whatever you like under your profile. That name is good on the forums, but the one Houzz assigned you will be your main log in name. They don't have a specific place (as did GW) to add zone information so as Sherry suggested I simply added that to my user name when I changed it under the profile ap......Hope that helps.....Maryl

I've been here pretty much since the beginning.....1996? Before that, there were some Usenet boards but the Internet was nothing like it is now and was not nearly as heavily used or accessed. I admit this site is cumbersome and still has its fair share of kinks to work out. And a lot of it has to do with how you enter and what devices you use to access. But it is by far the most detailed and comprehensive website of its type. IMO, it is well worth figuring out your best way of accessing the wealth of info contained here and the sense of community that is still generated by many of the forums and that cannot be matched by any other similar website or social media platform!!
