Just letting you know they had so many diffrent herloom tomotoes, for $2.99 each. They also had this years rodeo tomoto. I can't believe how much cheaper they were than rainbow gardens, on the plants I wanted. Since I have discovered turface, I am able to grow plants that would never grow at the coast in previous years. . Barbra .

Ruth, sorry for the late reply - I've been out building a new rose bed! Mike B. (from here on Gardenweb) cut down a few trees in the back (some dead dogwoods, a small pine, and a nut tree that had the misfortune of being INSIDE the fence ), cleared out some wayward shrubs, and established a nice sun area for me. I moved a massive beautyberry after admitting that it WAS in the wrong place . Anyway, most of my little roses were literally strangled by my crinums, but I love my Folksinger and Sunbonnet Sue. I love the color on Winter Sunset, and it seems to be thriving. The dogs have broken off Distant Drums, which I also love, and I seem to have lost my Enchanted Autumn :(, but managed to move the others over to the new bed (and I am forgetting one or two of them). I had to buy El Catala - it's red with a silvery-white back - don't know how it will perform but it was outstanding, and at $5 for a 2-gallon I was thrilled. I am spending more on the organic amendments going in the holes... My lesson learned is that 1-gallon roses won't stand up to crinums out here in east Texas.

Jasdip, some of the sites describing the procedure including Urologic Surgeons of Washington say something about what he may have experienced = "Bruising, sometime very dramatic, that is in the xxx (I'm leaving this body part out, clearly you weren't photographing that or you'd be in trouble ;)) or tracks around the flank is extremely common, and rarely of any concern", I don't find where they describe why. Your hubby's almost looks like it has fingerprints along the bruise. My brother had a rough 2 or 3 days (after feeling on top of the world the next morning when he was released) in Feb....rough time with whatever the gas is that is used to inflate the abdomen. I wonder if it couldn't end up different places in different bodies...and all he could do was wait until it was dispersed, by his body absorbing and then exhaling it. Hope this isn't too much information, but he likened it to pain of bloated and constipated, when in fact he had to wait to breathe the gas out. The bruise, combined with not feeling as well as the day before, must have been frightening. I hope he's doing better today. You too ...

Sounds like you had a great day!! And you have beautifully described it at length. I can imagine how you would have felt being there because I too have attended a fabulous wedding reception in a castle wedding venue in Toronto. If I remember correctly, Le Jardin is their name. I felt the whole look and settings of the hall as a fairytale. The settings were lovely and the food served was mouth watering. Everyone at the wedding raved about the settings and overall ambience of the night. We all had so much fun. It was really a magical, memorable night!
