RE: Lowes, lemons, Ms Fatma, and spaghetti

Glad to hear Ms Fatma is doing OK. I've yet to experience that particular
"invasive preventative procedure" but I hear getting ready for it is THE
WORST! Glad she can eat again! 

Lemon sounds great, and Lowe's sometimes has really good prices on their
plants, mainly I think, because they don't realize what they're selling.
Good find! I found a Lady Palm there several years ago for $15.00 as a
house plant and big ones here sell for $80. It's probably 10 times the size
it was when I bought it. I love it.
