Re: bulb bloomtimes

Barb,
Glad to hear from you again; been awhile. I think the actual spreadsheet
might be more handy than just printing the email because you could add
more info to it as you find it. Also, since you are in a different zone,
you could add another column to enter any adjustments to those Zone 5
times. I will send it tonight when I get home.
