Half of the names you mentioned I never planted...I KNOW I didnt plant horseradish. Nor Bouncing Betty, burnet, or soapwort. Unless they have other names, that I may be more familiar with. What I do somewhat remember planting in that area were, Amarathus ( various) Larkspur, Celosia ( I think), Bachelors Buttons...A lot of Marigold seeds that I just threw in the air and let land where ever they wanted.) Something else that starts with a C that I cant remember at the moment. And I believe something with a G, that I cant remember either. ( Great help I am huh? lol) Also planted Hollyhocks. Im quite happy to hear the foxgloves returned, as well as the dianthus, and sweet william family. Red clover?? Is that a flower or a weed?? If a flower...never planted it....if it weed...I shall pull. Taz

Bellarosa, New toys :) Nikon is nice! Here is how to post clickable thumbnails in your messages, if you ever want to try it.This is an excellent way to post several images without making it difficult for the dial-up users. If you are using Photobucket,here is how to do it. Say you want to post three thumbnails that people can click on to view the full size,like this: Please follow these steps: 1. Select the images you want to convert into clickable thumbnails by putting a check in the little blank white box just below each thumbnail;see the little box next to the image name (11feb04.jpg) in this example: 2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find: "Generate HTML and IMG Code" - Click that. Magic will happen and a page will open with HTML codes. You want to use the first codes: "HTML click able thumbnails for Ebay, Livejournal, MySpace, etc. - recommended" Copy and Paste those codes into your message here, then use the Preview button to see if it is working properly. Cheers,Bob

Hello everyone! This is only my second posting at this board....I am so thrilled to have found a board specifically for hummies! All these years I've had hummies until the second week of Oct. and then they'd disappear. The hummies were quite content feeding from all my garden plants with flowers that were trumpet-shaped. I moved one of my container plants closer to the sunroom window last year and really enjoy and was fascinated by the hummie visitors. So this year, at the beginning of April I got myself a couple feeders. Of course, I did all the wrong things...yellow flower ports, dripping feeders, red nectar, etc. But I still got a good share of hummies to watch up close and personal. I figured as soon as I didn't see any more hummies for at least a week, I'd take down the feeders for good, as every other year that's about the time the hummies disappear. Not this year, thankfully! I have two hummies that decided not to follow the crowd and they both make sure they keep me entertained all day long. I am sooo loving this!

BigMama - Don't forget to look at the link Fran made and make some requests from the lists also. I will do my best to get you some of your requests. Becky - I will also be posting some more toward the end so keep checking back I am trying to get to the nursery but just haven't made it yet.
