Wind and Tabasco, thank you for your empathy. I really have been riding an emotional roller-coaster over the whole ordeal, but today I'm in my who-gives-a-flip-at-least-I-have-time-to-work-in-the-garden frame of mind. Tomorrow might very well find me in my OMG-what-am-I-going-to-do? mode, or I may even have my I'll-get-even-with-those-greedy-corporate-pigs-if-it's-the-last-thing-I-do attitude. But today it's all good. LOL

Jan, moss roses are re-seeders. My neighbors have great moss roses every summer and haven't planted them in years. Be patient, they'll get there.

I think I screwed up with my basil. I winter-sowed it. From what I've been reading it sounds like I should have started it inside. I moved the rest of my WS containers today. They were TOO wet. I tried the baggie over the plastic cup method this year, and the baggie sagged, and held the rain water. I do have calundula and 3 dianthus coming up though.

And now lookie here! Today was the maiden voyage into the GH. :-D Now I'm just trying to figure out if I need to haul everything back out for the night. It was almost 30° warmer in there this afternoon than it was outside. I wonder if it will hold heat that well all night long?
