Re: so Kitty---

I think it is wonderful and I wish I had the courage and energy to try it myself. I hate to throw away anything... and can't give enough of my extra stuff away. Here in Ok we can't grow all the exotic things that you can grow at least not so abundantly. What does grow well I can't give away fast enough ... but then I see other people still buy it at the stores.
I root pruned about 10 starts of Passion vine today that are coming up in the wrong places. I have several requests for them but I don't know if I can charge them.

Thanks, Tricia,
My sister thinks I'm nuts, but she helps me during the sale. I suppose it's
not a lot of money for the work that goes into it, but I do enjoy it in a
masochistic sort of way.

Kitty,
I was thinking of you too.... glad to know it went so well.  It sounds

like
a lot of work but well worth it.
