Now the annual debate begins...do I get a few intros or more goodies that are a couple of years old? That might be a discussion later for a thread...fewer newer or some that have proven their worth. Confused Confused Confused Confused Confused

I really like BACKDRAFT -- Hugh sent it as a gift plant two years ago, and it has very velvety falls.

Those were my plastic Target boots, and boy did they pay off on that trip -- I don't think I've ever seen such sticky mud!
