If you could hold onto him for me that would be great! Would love to give him a go here on my littel farm. And would love even more to get rid of the turd of a cockeral I have now. Ive seen mean roosters, but not like this where he will run head on from across my 3 acres to attack my DD...

You need to take Zinc. The sooner the better. I hope you don't come down with the crud.

The Del's is just off of highway 16. I'll have to look up the address though. It's been a while since I have been out to the peninsula.

Ok I have to ask. Is zink safe to take while pregnant?

Here is what I located on the quick. http://www.ivillage.com/zinc-colds-while-pregnanthow-much-too-much/6-n-145732 I would just hit the zinc hard for about 3 days, and then rely on the prenatal vitamin to get enough zinc. A quick bump should not be able to create a toxic overload. It's not going to matter much after the first three days of a cold anyway. You just don't want to take to much all the time.

At least this is what I would do. A cold virus can harm the baby. I don't want to scare you, but I have been down that road just far enough to scare myself silly. The virus that is the worst known is call CMV. So I would rather risk the temporary bump of the Zinc for 3 days than the virus. But that's just me.

Ahhhh, I love Japanese Maples. I hope to have a bunch someday.

My grandbaby tree is a Japanese maple. It is the off shot of the tree that was planted in memory of our second daughter. The off shoot came to use just about the time that our daughter could have had a baby of her own. I have say that I am just as happy with a grandbaby tree, rather than a human grandbaby. The tree doesn't make me feel that old.

Van Engelen and their retail arm John Scheepers are my current favorites on price and selection- Van Engelen has a $50 minimum, but that's not a lot to spend if you are relandscaping a whole yard and in addition can buy several hundred bulbs! Scheepers has the same varieties but no price minimum and smaller numbers. They have herbaceous peonies in addition to every bulb you could think of.

If you're buying landcape-size plants rather than propagating ones, you're almost always better off buying from the best retail nursery you can find and spending money on healthy growth rather than shipping. On the other hand, checking out Burnt Ridge at the Oly Farmer's Market (disclaimer: owner is a friend, and I was a vendor at OFM back in the olden days) and making a point of getting to the Donated Plants area at the Washington Park Arboretum (open rarely and worst of all during the day during the week) is always a good idea. ALSO: if you know what you want and can have the holes dug ready for the plants, the Lawyer Nursery (near Lacey) clearance sale in May is a great place to get big, healthy, professional landscape grade plants for cheap.

I've said a lot about Raintree and would recommend their plants and service without reservation.

The plant sale area at Rhododendron Species Foundation often has shade plants which are hard to find elsewhere.

Also, Forest Farm has something that looks like every plant in the world, and ships big plants in big pots for not-the-worst-shipping-charge; it helps to have a good plant encyclopedia by your side to supplement the catalogue, though.

Joy Creek Nursery is the place I buy clematis, campanulas, and other perennials; they sell a wide selection of shade plants and some speciality shrubs and small trees which are not easy to find otherwise.

I have Opinions about all rose nurseries, but the most important of them is that you're always better off buying in person. Recommendations upon request.

I have used Forest Farm before and love the fact you can find some of the ones you have been searching forever for.
(edited to add) I only by own root roses because of our climate.
