Bought myself a new bed pillow.
See if I wake up without a tight neck!

I buy polyester or fiber filled pillows, and I find that they are all too fat, and so I wake up with a neck ache. To remedy that, I open the case and remove some of the fiber to make a more healthful pillow that does not bed my neck all night.

I am trying to figure out how to take my buckwheat hull pillow to NYC with me....am only taking a small carry on and the small pillow takes up too much room.
I love the soba (buckwheat hull) Japanese pillows for my neck.
Hope your new pillow works out well.

Nice purple seedling Debra. Pistil length looks short, so it should be nice and fertile. My yellow is in a pot here, so scape height was not as good as it was in Texas. There it was around 28". Expect they will be higher here when I get it in the ground. Colors were much brighter up here with the cooler temps, which was nice. Bloom is over 6". Thanks Signet, glad you like it.

Cut out adenium rot or wait and see?

I just had a horrible case of rot on one of my desert rose plants. The folks on the Adenium Forum were very helpful in guiding me along. LatinLady (Maria Elena) Is pretty knowledgeable and helpful. She's watching (and preparing for) Irma right now, but I am sure she will pop in to help. Give these folks a try. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/adenium Folks here can advise you, too, but the adenium forum is more specialized. A lot of us post on both. Good luck!!

While we are waiting for Hurricane Season to end (LOL - Aug and Sept are always a challenge!), thanks for your patience. I don't know if this will be any help to you at all, but here is the thread about my big rotted DR. There may be some info to help you out, but of course your plant is different.

Gardengal, thanks for comforting me with news that it doesn't take over the garden! I have a David Austin Rose with small but profuse white flowers and it's just occurred to me that it might be a good companion. I get what you mean about the Agastache; it worked well in adjacent containers at least :-). Campanula, I have been growing it in a pot. It was in desperate shape when it arrived, but I was also a little wary of it. Someone gifted me with a small Scrophularia californica that in one season grew into a near giant of a plant. It had very insignificant flowers so I didn't think it was worth the space it took up and when I tried to remove it, I discovered very thuggish roots. They were thick and fleshy and they had scrambled everywhere and were the sort that resprouted vigorously. What is it about the Figwort family that has you wanting to avoid them? mxk3: I hadn't seen it before either, but once having seen it, it's fairly unforgettable as it is quite a stunning plant. Here's a good description of it: Scrophularia auriculata variegata

Carol, have you tried putting it into one of those bags that you then take all of the air out of (either the type that uses a vacuum cleaner hose to pull out the air, or the type that you "zip" seal and then roll/press out the air)? I always put my down pillow into one of those when we travel, and it's amazing how much smaller it becomes!

Slept like a baby with my $2.50 WalMart pillow. Don't know how long it will last but I got a good nights sleep, last night.

Carol_in_California, I hate traveling without my pillow. Can you stick it in a lightweight tote that's large enough to hold your purse and use that as your personal item?

I bought a great carry on today and it has room for my pillow....it is small. (The pillow.)
Thanks for the suggestions.
Glenda, I am happy you had a good sleep with your new pillow.
