Excellent job Bill--While I have only read like 2-3 I am sure they are all just as nice as the ones I did check.

Barb---I will say it was looking pretty bad about a month or so ago but I carefully watered it & misted it & all is well again---I really think when it gets cooler I will put it in my spare room & let it go for a month---that would be ok wouldn't it???? (I read in Bill's information where the purple shamrocks only need 1 months rest)--

My nephew brought me back an orange tree from Florida a few years ago. It was
growing nicely but every time it got a small green fruit--it would die 7 fall off--then I noticed it had a disease of some sort---& before I could figure it out--it died---whoa is me---

These pages are truly great, Bill. Thank you so much!
We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

The terrarium page is very interesting, Bill. Many plants were listed which I had not previously considered as suitable for a terrarium. Can't wait to try some of them!

I have already removed a couple plants from the terrarium plant list.... but I am adding a few new ones as I move along on this project.

I finally finished up the makeovers of these 2 pages this morning. They are big and graphic intensive so load a little slowly. I apologize for that
Yes, I know there are only 84... I guess I will have to add some more... but that will have to be later. Much, much more to do right now

FINALLY getting close to having all of important pages converted over to the new format... Still more to do tho...
Anyway... I thought I'd try to freshen up TGH home page a bit this morning. I will start updating the page every two weeks or so, from now on. Please let me know if you have any comments, especially about the fonts and colors I used on the page.
