I will be sending this info in several different posts as time
allows.
If you'd like to keep track of this in your garden and share it
might give me some ideas of other things to try.

ok here goes...I'm going to be doing this is small parts during
breaks at work.
You might want to do a cut and paste of them if you want
the 'collection'
