<< Great gift idea. For my last birthday I received a card with a piece of 
 paper enclosed, on which was written:
 "The bearer is entitled to $200 worth of garden soil"
 I have taken my time to collect this wonderful present, trailer load at 
 a time, savouring every handfull!

Good one, Jan!  Boy, we are a strange lot.  We gleefully receive dirt as a
gift when others prefer gold!  Last year my husband gave me two nicely
constructed raised iris beds as a birthday gift ( I asked for).  This year
(although he doesn't know it yet) he's buying me about 50 iris that I put on
his charge card!!  WHEEEE!!!  He already gave me another two beds earlier this
summer (guess that was a 5th anniversary gift).  Now I have to think about
what I will buy for him to give me for Christmas!  <giggle>
Perhaps that book from Graeme Grosvenor.   Hmmmmmmm.
