If your son hasn't been for ice cream he needs to five it a try. There is such a variety of daffodils available. Most of mine are from Brent and Becky's.<BR/>Kathleen- Swimming lessons at JMU? Small world! Your zone is a bit later than ours...your 'Jane' will get showier each year.<BR/>Jan- I am really happy with the variety of daffodils and Jane is a nice bloom. Oklahoma-- fraternity, adventure, family, visited one grandfather's burial site en route, and two sets of aunts and uncles. Saw one cousin home on leave from Afghanistan and another cousin getting ready to graduate high school. One big adventure....next week is Massachusettes. <BR/>I have adjusted to the missing pines. It was a shock though.<BR/>Cameron- Thanks.

I'm surprised to see how well they've caught on with gardeners and non gardeners. <BR/><BR/>And thank you Janet for your feedback on my "hints" blog post. I use tomato cages too. I saw a garden show where they turned them upside down and took strong pliers and twisted the straight ends (that go into the dirt) into twirly curly wires. My description isn't doing them justice.
