You did hit the jackpot and here I thought I had hit the jackpot today.

Earlier this week, I read on another site on the garden forum, about using old waterbed heaters for heat mats, so I put out an APB for some and have secured two plus the one I found in the basement. Hopefully the other half and daughters will come through with one or two from co-workers.

Have a GREAT day and hope your luck continues.

Last weekend, I bought a nice cornecopia at a yard sale for 50 cents. Yesterday, on my way to volunteer at the cat garden, I took a different route than usual, and lo and behold, there was a stand along the side of the road, loaded with all sorts of gourds and a FREE sign. Well, woo hoo! I used some of the larger guords for decoration outside and filled the cornecopia with the smaller gourds. Presto! Cheap, nice decorating that will last through Thanksgiving!

That's a beautiful cornecopia!!!!

Sketchmark, the water bed heater/grow mat is a GREAT idea!
how is it working out! I used to work in a greenhouse/nursery even at our cost they were sky high!
