I can't wait to visit Wilson's sometime soon. I'm ready for a healthy does of herb-sniffing and flower-oggling. I just got their newsletter in today's mail and they said they've remodeled and added a relaxation area (complete with free snacks and a BIG SCREEN TV for those not into the whole plant experience). Their prices are high on some things (many things), but they have specials and it is such an attractive place to browse even when you don't buy anything. http://www.great-gardeners.com

Here's the page with pictures of their large display garden. It's incredible! http://www.great-gardeners.com/s/shop/page.asp?file=template/Gardens--Main.htm

Their displays are so beautiful I'm always tempted to buy plants way before I should. Oh, and they have a HUGE pond at their place with big old koi in it, some real grand-daddies. It's such a friendly and happy place!

WOW, Lucky you. I could live there.

BTW- from our previous conversation, (I finally found this)The "pathmaker" -- "Pathmate" is the plasic form (they sell at Home Depot and others} that you fill with concrete, see http://www.backyardweb.com/gardhlp.html tiG made a path and said it worked fine. Don't you think it would make a nice pond edge too? I wonder if Badseed ever used it?

Oh, those - I know what those are now, yes. I don't know how well they'd work to go around a pond. You'd have to create separate "stones", then move them and jigsaw them together around the pond. It would look nice, but I'm not sure how they'd fit around an odd-shaped pond or a curve. Maybe someone's done that and can post pictures?

I have a really good pic of a path we made with the form but it is a bitmap file and I don't think it will post here. Is there a way to change the format it is saved in? MW

Yep, you can open it in most image viewers and then do FILE > SAVE-AS. When the dialogue box pops up, click the little drop-down menu where it shows the file type and select "jpg". If prompted for a quality or compression level, tell it about 60 or 70% (6 or 7 on some scales). Name it a different name and you're all set.
