Hey all - I made this for a small dinner party tonight (actually, I have made this for my last 4 dinner parties LOL) and got rave reviews again! I really must share this awesome recipe and suggest you try it when the mood for a special festive appetizer hits..... ************************************...

Hey Peg :D To be honest, I don't know of any breed that starts much cheaper than $1000 a puppy from a reputable breeder. I am currently looking for a Dobie pup and the prices start at $1500 and go from there. Shar Pei's start at $2500. Unfortunately, the thought of "striking it rich" by breeding "pu...

I would contact the local English Bulldog Rescue Group. I found these contacts for Indiana and I would start with them. Many dogs that come through rescue are not necessarily abused and from bad homes. Sometimes they are beloved pets that for one reason or another the owners can no longer keep them....

Okay - just to clarify a bit. I sowed mine directly in sterile potting mix in bakery trays, so I have no idea if little roots have started on any more. I sprinkled on the potting mix very lightly to cover them.

The only ones that have leaves are the ones I mentioned.

My germination rate is not great at all

I only have signs of life in 3 of the seeds and one seems to be a terminal white.

I will keep checking though and if I can remember to charge the battery on the digi I will post pics of the babies that have appeared.

It is a great forum to join!

Thanks for the responses. I guess adding more organics and raising the beds is the way to go.

OC - you definitely should NOT have to beg. It is part of the Starbucks mission statement that they are a "green" company and state that they provide coffee grounds for gardeners in the statement. The best method I have found is to call them first thing in the morning when I know I will be stopping ...

Hey OC!

I add coffee grounds year round to my beds. I get 20# or so twice weekly from the local Staryucks and sprinkle them all over the general area where the beds are. I figure between the coffee grounds and the chopped leaf top dress I should have much healthier beds come spring.

I have fairly heavy clay soil and have spent the last few years adding yards of organic compost, goffee grounds, chopped leaves, etc to my beds and yest they still seem too clay-y. Someone suggested I top dress with about an inch of sand (not sandbox sand) and that will help. It seems conterintuitiv...
