Carol - thanks for the tip....I am ordering it now!
You want me to get a signed copy for you tomorrow and you can pick it up when you come thru???
Anyone else want one? They are about $17 and I could mail them in a flat rate envelope. Let me know.

Carol - sure! That would be outstanding! My collection of gardening books is nearly as large as my collection of plants....but this one sounds special, if you know what I mean. Epecially since I do all my (or nearly all), planting in containers!
Shari...I got you a book...signed. Will post it next week. I really like it!!! Good information all around!

I love tropicals, but living in zone 5 it scares me to death to try them because all I can think about is "how am I going to get this beauty through the winter?". Could you get me one too? Send me a D-Mail on what I need to do. :^)
What a peach! Thanks so much Carol! Getting excited about Hawaii for the first time in 20 years!!!
Dmail coming.
