Re: mulch

Melody,
First, let me complement you on spelling it right.  My sister thought the h
would cause too much trouble for the child.  Heck - the last name is
Stahlhut!.  Geographically a bad match, but Meghan would have worked just
fine.

No, this is a very stubborn young woman who is very busy and has zero
interest in it.  And I pretty much understand.  MY sister and I came from a
family with not so much as a houseplant.  My sister has no interest in
gardening other than to put a few impatiens in a planter - she thinks I'm
looney.  So 3rd generation Megan never really stood much of a chance.
