My Name is Joanna and I love Old China Patterns and sharing information with others on where to obtain those "hard to find" gems or replacements for your collection. Thanks for visiting my website!
I've started some seeds in soil cups and they are just now sprouting (I live in CNY).
Is it too late to plant them in a ground? I've never started a garden so that's why I'm thinking of doing containers.
The seeds I have sprouted onions cucumbers tomatoes pumpkins (i know these have to go into the ground)
Three of the seeds you've sprouted--onions, cucumbers, and tomatoes--I grow in containers every year. I haven't tried pumpkins, but frankly I don't know why you couldn't grow them in a container, too.
As to whether it's too late...I don't think so. I just direct-seeded in containers some things last week, and another friend who is a terrific gardner just transplanted her tomatoes over the weekend, so why not try?
There are two keys, in my experience: a container of a size that allows the roots to grow, and using good potting soil. I use potting soil, not topsoil, and I usually use MiracleGro potting soil or a similar product. It makes a big difference.
In terms of size of container: if you're buying a round container in a store, make sure it's at least 14 to 16 inches in diameter, and try the plastic or foam containers; they won't "bake" the roots like clay or terra-cotta, they're less expensive, and they're lighter to move. If you have cats, or have a friend with cats, use the empty cat litter buckets; just punch some holes in the bottom for drainage first. Or--and this is my favorite--use small styrofoam ice chests. Punch holes for drainage, and set the chests in their upside-down lids as a tray to hold water. Works great. You can even spray paint them if you're feeling creative; I have some spray painted with paint from Michael's that's supposed to give a "stone" finish....very nice. But plain works fine, and that's how most of mine are. They're available just about anywhere: K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Dollar General...any big box/discount store in your area. The most I've ever spent is $4 each.
Each 14-16 inch container or litter bucket can hold one tomato plant or cucumber (or, I imagine, one pumpkin); the ice chest can hold two of each. Onions, set them out a few inches apart.
Your cucumber will need something to climb on; I put my cucumber containers beside my fence. Your tomatoes will need a stake or tomato basket, and both can be used inside the container.
Be sure you have drainage holes, and fill the container with potting soil. Water it thoroughly (thoroughly!). It likely will depress slightly and you'll need to refill with more soil, and water it again. Let the pooled water drain off (this is a check to be sure you have enough drainage holes), then plant your vegetables. Water again.
As the vegetables grow, water regularly. Water the soil under the leaves of the plants, not on the leaves themselves; this lessens the chance of disease spreading from wet leaves. Some experts recommend watering first thing in the morning and some recommend last thing in the evening; either one is fine. But WATER EVERY DAY. That's very important for container gardening; the soil dries out very, very quickly. In my part of the world (southeast USA) we often water containers twice a day in the deepest heat of summer.

The heady Latin pop of Ricky Martin has risen to incredible heights, and the smooth-talking lothario includes some of his best songs on this retrospective compilation album.CD contains 1 bonus track.The Australian comp The Best of Ricky Martin delivers just what the title promises -- the highlights of Martin's English and Spanish-language pop careers. All the usual suspects, like "Livin' la Vida Loca," "She Bangs," "Shake Your Bon-Bon," and "Private Emotion," are here, as well as remixes of "Amor," "Maria," and "Loaded." "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" and "Be Careful (Cuidado con Mi Coraz n)," Martin's duets with Christina Aguilera and Madonna, and "The Cup of Life," the official song of the 1998 World Cup, are some of the disc's other high points. Though it doesn't really dig into Martin's early-'90s albums, The Best of Ricky Martin is a handy, concise overview of the songs that made him a superstar. ~ Heather Phares
Worcester Cup Can anyone answer my question about the LV=Cup in Rugby Union?
This weekend the results were: Bath 40 v Sale 7 Northampton 23 v Leicester 11 Scarlets 23 v Cardiff Blues 38 Worcester 19 v London Irish 9 Harlequins 29 v Gloucester 31 Newcastle 3 v Wasps 9 Saracens 22 v Newport-Gwent Dragons 23
What I can't understand is how these teams could have been playing each other when they are in different pools...
They've all played 4 games in their respective pools..... I'm confused, can anyone shed any light on this?
Here is the Wikipedia page for the LV= Cup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9310_LV_Cup
In fact if you look closely at the matches played you will see that never at any point (before the knockout stages) are there matches between two teams in the same pool.
Instead the format of the regular season is that each team in Pool 1 plays each team in Pool 4, and each team in Pool 2 plays each team in Pool 3.

Tea Saucer Ride
I found some old antique milk (white) glass tea cups w/ saucers. How can I tell if they are worth anything?
There is a symbol on the bottom that looks almost oriental, but more like an "H"
Also, they seem to be an old milk glass, almost see through. Has a fruit design on them, grapes and vines?
They were found in a friend's Grandmother's home with some other vases that the family kept because they were heirlooms.
Serious answers GREATLY welcome, and appreciated.
You can check ebay for similar items, or take a cup and saucer to an antique shop that deals with glass and ask them for information. It sounds like it might be a depression era glass. Look also for seams on the glass. That suggests that it was molded glass. Not all molded glass will have seams showing though. Grapes and vines were very common designs in depression era glassware.
Yellow Cup i have the recipe for the basic yellow cake mix, but i want to make cup cakes is the heating temperature/time?
is the temperature/time in the oven the same?
Temperature is the same, the time depends on how big you make the cup cakes. I usually check them after about 12-15 minutes as the ones in the middle may need to move to outside of tray if using Patty Pans. If using muffin tray it may need to be turned around.
