RE: Chemical shelf life now and runner plants andweather

Donna,
Glad to hear your sale went so well.  Mine did well after the rough prep
day.  The appraiser called today and asked to look at what I had left and
bought half of it - gave him a deal so I wouldn't have to make 2 trips to
CES with the leftovers for the MG plant sale (small car).  But I was so
weak after all that work.  Took a nap.  Still sort of tired today, but
after I cleaned up the mess and put things back to rights, I spent a little
time planting a few of my newcomers - cyclamen, double bloodroot, and
trillium luteum.  Found some more seedlings of European Ginger that had
jumped about 20 feet from the small colony.  Actually, they were right
about where I wanted them.

Pam, I bet your roses are lovely.  Here they are just leafing out.  Some
new ones I received about 3 weeks ago haven't yet started any growth at all
- sort of have me worried - Jude the Obscure and 2 Sombreuils.

Kitty
