Second buying more crowns. Plenty of instructions for the right way, including your County Extension which will have fertilizer schedules too. Essentially well-rotted manure-compost at bottom of trench, fill in gradually, don't pick until second year, then just a little. Dan

there is a fern that i used to buy for my house when i didn't have a yard. wish i could find it. can't discribe it except to say that it looks like fingers and doesn't seem that the leaves are evenly spaced, but i can't remember. i think it had a long finger with two side fingers at the top. that is a long time rememberance. in my mind i also think of ET. great to know the deer don't eat ferns. hostas are okay, but i gave most of mine away already. would also love some walking fern after seeing it on the botanical website. when i look for catalogs on ferns they only seem to each have a few.

Wow! My BFF and I were just discussing this very range last night! She was telling me that she was about to purchase it and I kept telling her that she needed to come onto GW and do her homework first. And, in order to help her, I searched myself for more specifics about this range here but couldn't find any relevant threads. Now, not even 24 hours later, you posted this thread! Amazing! Of course, I emailed this thread to my friend immediately and she is delighted to hear this news of a potentially even bigger discount. Talk about giving back a little, Storklady. In doing that, you can claim instantaneous results! So, on behalf of my dear friend, she thanks you very much!

Ohhhhh a shower curtain - what a great idea!!! I have alot of the darker tan sand fabric- I had planned on using it for a backing, but it would go perfectly in our bathroom that isn't used much - and I am sick of the existing shower curtain. I see it everytime I walk into my office. I don't know what I am going to do with it. The quilt is a very ambitious one. I will link her website, I think it is beautiful. Her work is beautiful in person and I attribute my success making the block to what a wonderful teacher she was. The class was 10:30 - 3:30 - I took a snack and sewed thru lunch, although that is when I made a mistake..repeatedly...so I really didn't get ahead~LOL~I took a potty break & announced I was going to flush my mistakes away & it worked. I worked on the rest of the block for a few hours on Sunday & Monday each day, so I would guess it took me about 10 hours to complete. An experienced PPer could definitely make it in less time. I had to concentrate constantly and that always slows me down when I have to think that hard. There is a product made by Collins that is a wash away foundation paper - is that the same thing?
