Neither is for "family" vacations. But both are fun.

I recommend 3 over 2. It is newer and has a better layout. At hedonism 2 it can be a 30 minute round trip from the nude pool back to your room if you're unlucky. at hedonism 3 all rooms are within walking distance to anywhere on resort property you'd like to go.

The one benefit 2 has is that it is in Negril, which is far nicer than Runaway Bay. However Hedonism 2 is in the armpit of negril and so the resort itself doesn't have that nice of a beach (but if you like you can walk down the shore and experience one of the best beaches in the world).

The review posted above is completely false. I go to Hedo 2 every year. It is large, but not to large. So you may have to walk 15 minutes to get from one side of the campus to the other if you happen to get a room on the far side... big deal. I want a resort that is bigger than my back yard thank you. Also how do you come off saying Hedo 2 is the armpit of Negril? You obviously havent looked around much have you? Negril is one of the most beautiful places on the island hands down. True H2 is a little older, but they are similar in the design of the rooms. Hedo 2 was built by the Jamaican government, as were many other resorts on the island to promote tourism. The Negril resorts are at most 3 stories high as there are ordinances in place to keep buildings lower than the tree line. So when you look out, you dont see towering resorts instead of palms and other trees. Negril was one of the last places on the island to be explored. As a result, it is much more natural than some of the other areas of the island. The beach at H2 is spectacular! It is private, and part of Negril's famous 7 mile beach. It is nice sand, unlike the man made beach at Hedo 3. The beach at H3 is rocky any tiny. The water sports are not as good as the sea is much rougher at H3. the water at H2 is part of long bay. great for snorkleing, scuba, sailing, and just about any other water sport. the atmosphere is great at H2... lots of party people. If you want to go to bed at 9:30, go to H3, if you want to party all night, and play all day, go to Hedonism II.

I've always gotten into Morning and Evening Silflay and would tell the garden rabbits when it was safe to go eat! The kids get sick of hearing it. Bet I get to say it once more on the day I croak----just to irk the kids!!! KJ You're Watership Down! by Richard Adams Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.

Many of the nurseries you listed and others suggested are the same vendors I use. And I look forward to investigating some of the other ones that are new to me. Swallowtail is my primary seed source (I start hundreds of seeds every winter and spring in trays. I also like direct sowing in the fall.) I love Swallowtail and have always had good results with their seeds. I also like to order from Renee's Seeds (the Angel's Choir shirley poppy mix is very charming). And am trying a new vendor called Outside Pride because they seem to be more generous with the amount of seed they send and have some unique offerings I haven't seen elsewhere. Van Engelen is the wholesale side of John Scheepers and that is where I go for bulbs. They offer a small selection of peonies as well. C&T Iris Patch for iris. I'm trying a couple of new plant vendors this spring. Digging Dog is the one I remember off-hand. They have an interesting selection of plants. I was drawn in by the geranium, campanula, and monkshood.

My "runt' looked like that pic with the lime green leaves....I eventually lost it. I think Mike is right on that it isn't an exact science....humidity, heat, water makeup all play a factor. Hopefully mine is strong enough to make it thru this winter. I'm going to have to watch it carefully. Mine is looking like half leaves are brown and green, since i moved mine home i have a new shoot and a couple of new leaves that are green. my soil i used was native and a promix about 50/50....moved into a three gal when i got it from Kudzu last spring/summer. He sent mine in a little peat pot. it was about 3"/4" inches.... I was under the impression that "yellowing" of leaves were signs of overwatering. not brown "leaf burn"...maybe i'm the exact opposite....I'm lefty you know...lol....could it be that i have no idea what i'm talking about???? Leaf curl is signs of not enough water....yes?.....yellowing of older leaves and leaf drop in spring is normal....browning of the tips could be lack of protection from wind or suffering from transpiration...or at least something like that.....Maybe i need to crack open the old books again....

Oh wait, the word "island" sounds much more glamorous here in the kitchen forum. It's really a glorified table. We removed the "dividing" wall the builder put in there because, well, in reality it only made it have less storage space. I was about to give up the "dream" of an island in a closet but my dh wanted one so he had a place to put his suitcase when he packed for trips. So, we are keeping the 36x21 structure that has the hamper in it. I'm hoping it doesn't look too crowded in there. Yeah, it's not one of THOSE giant closets you see on Houzz...but it is a lot bigger than the one we left behind. We did learn when we sold the last house that people are expecting BIG closets these days. We actually took a lot of the feedback from the last house and made sure not to have those mistakes in this house. So, maybe I'm not really jaded. Maybe I'm just ready for this to be over and I've actually hit the wall when stone shopping. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. ... I can't wait to get in there and decorate. I do feel giddy when I go to the house. Angie, that's funny. But so true. CK--it's a level 1 at this place. I would have picked it if I had heard better things about their installers, but those Google reviews can just kill your business. I had read someone's comment that they cut the new cabinets with a saw when installing! Yikes. Needless to say this transaction is a cash and carry!

We have been to Hedo III 4 times. We do lots of partying and playing at Hedo III and well after 9:30! I think each Hedo has its good points and not so good ones. Whichever you choose, if you go with an open mind, you will have a great time!

I've never heard anyone describe hedo2 as having a nice beach, especially the nude side where most people hang out.

Negril is a 7 mile beach shaped roughly like a C, Hedo2 & Grand Lido are at the far end of the C, what I call the armpit. The beach there is man made with imported sand and quite rocky.

Walk down the beach to Sandals and the other resorts and the beach is amazing, but at Hedo, especially the nude side, it is not.

You'll notice in my accurate review I said that Negril was nice, merely that Hedonism II was at the end of it.

I've included a link to your "ultimate site" that has more people giving "Completely false" reviews that happen to agree with mine. Negril is nice, but Hedonism II's nude beach is not.

Hedo2 is more friendly to single guys I believe, maybe that is why brent likes it.
