Gita or Critter (or anyone, really), I've got a question about the mosquito dunks and bits. (sounds almost like a treat - Mosquitoes and dunks and bits and bits!)... if put into a bird bath, would it be harmful to the birds bathing and drinking there? If so, I'll just simply get more Lemongrass, but if not.. we carry those at work too, so I may just invest in some just for the bird bath out back. That's the only place I worry about with mosquitoes, and it's a hard balance to find; to keep the water dumped out and fresh enough to prevent mosquitoes but also "settled" enough for birds to want to enjoy it.

I'm not really planning much shopping for the yarden this year, due to time restraints. (math is taking every spare second I've got!) I got my Caladium bulbs, and bought more Asclepia seeds from work... oh, and I bought a replacement snail for the Big Bed out front (the extreme cold this Winter actually decapitated one of my snails!!)... Oh, and then there's Lemongrass -- I HAVE to have those. But, other than those few things, my time will be spent playing with numbers as much as possible while the rest of the world plays in the dirt. < =(

1: Decapitated snail

2: Replacement from work! (got a turtle too!)
