What kind words, Lin! Thank YOU very much for taking the time to offer the thank you. I try not to be too technical, but some of the things that pertain to how plants work is technical by nature (and sometimes I forget, too). ;o) It really is a challenge when I say something like "You need to take a close look at your soils if you're having trouble with burned leaves" because most growers don't make a connection between heavy (water-retentive) soils and burned leaves, so I have to find a way to show the connection that can be understood. I make heavy use of analogies and parenthesis (to further explain things) in an attempt to make it easier. BUT - I wish you guys would ask questions if you need clarification or there is something you don't understand.

I really enjoy the idea that something I offer might help whoever's reading it to squeeze a little more satisfaction out of their growing experience or make growing easier. I have 'stickies' on the container gardening forum, but if there is some interest, I could put together something about soil and watering for this forum. Whether or not it becomes a sticky is up to Admin and your suggestions.

If you have a specific problem or question that's buggin', and you think I might be able to help, you can always start a thread and request an answer from me in the thread title so I'll be sure to see it, or just mail me.

Daisy - You DID know I was kidding about changing specialists - right? ;o)
