They all say "size". Did you try making the font bigger, or just a random cyber-glitch? I had a similar issue when I was using IE after one of the last forum updates. Now I use FireFox or Chrome. When in doubt, I blame it on my cats!

Very cool. Getting a serious MM must be a challenge. My first year one of my best beds was when I ran out of money and dumped straight, almost finished compost into the bed. I let it sit for a couple of weeks but that baby was prolific. I figured if it works for Mel for third world countries it is good enough for me until I can get the stuff I need.

Although NC is hot and humid this must be a different thing altogether. Always something new to learn. And bugs!

Look forward to more news.

I am living in Thailand and I have a big problem getting anything to come up. I now have some chinesse greens coming and they are local seeds. Even with local seeds a lot of them don't sprout. I got a lot of seeds from the UK but no luck yet. I have a lot of gooseberry seeds and they sprout really well. I don't know much about them but will learn.

Hi rrbeckn. Gooseberries are good for pies & canning... Be careful of the thorns though! I've heard they can be vicious.

I hope you great success with your gardening projects you have going in your area. The condition there is quite similar to what I have here on Dinagat Island, Surigao del Norte except we probably have heavier and more consistent rains than in your area.

I'm heading back at the end of Oct. Will try again.

Looking forward to a garden update now that winter is coming State side!

I collected some seed from my summer garden - chives, lemon basil, yellow cayenne peppers, ghost peppers and red scorpian peppers. I've planted seeds in cups of all except the ghost.

I found a sale for a dollar a brick of this http://www.wondersoil.net/store/wondersoil-products/brick-plus.html. Bought all 6 that were left and sent a care package to myself before leaving the States. I'm going to add to the vermiculite/compost mix that failed last year and see what happens.

I also brought some packs of tomato, kale and hanover salad seeds. We got some kale last year.
