Greenman, It is computer voodoo and it is designed to make you crazy. Sometimes threads actually do disappear, and we don't know why. Your newbie thread is still there--I just clicked on it and got it after a 10 to 12 second delay. Just in case you're still having trouble, I'll relink the second previous thread--the one with Randy's mix in the first response and my mix in the second response, either of which I think would work just fine for your shrub.

Trailrunner- Your grandson is adorable! I saw the pictures, but didn't have a chance to respond. That little chef outfit is too cute...and perfect for the kitchen forum, IMHO :) I've noticed a few other threads getting shuffled over here, but I don't know why they would delete yours. Maybe someone is complaining about off topic posts, because GW certainly didn't seem to be monitoring the forum that carefully, for the past several months.

For those on an iPad, you can also take a screen capture, or picture of what is currently displaying in your screen, by pressing the Home and Power buttons briefly at the same time. You will hear a sound like a camera taking a picture, and your screen image will appear in your Photos.

The search funtion on Gardenweb doesn't work very well. I think posts need to be at least a few days old before they show up that way. Alternatively you can try to search in Google for it....and I found it that way. Go to Google search, and type in the following words then click on search and you will find your thread :): gardenweb sprengle1 moen Here are the google results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gardenweb+sprengle1+moen&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= Here is a link that might be useful: sprengle1's post :)
