What a nice message.

A beautiful day here in Clearwater with temperatures to be in the mid 
70s.  I just wandered the yard checking on my hibiscus, pepper and 
tomatillo plants. 

Mainly, I was curious about when I'll be seeing some first blooms from 
some new hibiscus seedlings that came from crosses of a year ago. If the 
weather stays mild, it looks some buds will mature and open w/in the next 
two weeks. This can be _really_ exciting, since when you cross a brown 
variety with a lavender one (for example), you don't know what the 
seedlings look like until that first bloom gives you a hint.

Happy gardening in '00,



Tom Miller
