    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I don't blame you one bit, MWC.

    Those pics on the previous page are great - I stayed in one of the hotels near the Navy Pier when I went to the Worldcon at Chicago, but hardly got out from the convention itself, I think I really missed a trick. I'd better go again, from how good your pix look.

    Thanks for the Rocket tip. Very tempted now! Trying to decide if to go for a selection or just winter lettuces
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    My last order was for the patio container garden and I'm very pleased with it (good-sized healthy seedlings and a few more plants than the quantities in the listing :))
