Wha, Yes, the GH is pretty full, so I have moved on to the living room for seed starting. I have a couple of flats of cuttings in there now and 20 hippeastrum that getting ready to bloom. But tomorrow we are setting up a capillary watering system in the living room as we are off island a lot and my seedlings need water. I think it will work fine. I will report back. Some years I have taken them all off island when we took the truck on the steamship. Too stupid, but I didn't want to loose them.

I need those ferns for my soon to be dug bed that is going to feature those Japanese maples that you twisted my arm into buying. I need "shoes &socks" around them to dress them properly, then bulbs for next spring. I already ordered Hellebores for that bed too and some geraniums, hosta, primula and iris.

Today the cardinals went after the thistle seed for the first time ever.

Victor, Don't you wish. Patti
