I knew what you meant,cause that is what my very late old man  called the
things that held his pants up! Cheers, Doug in beautiful British Columbia,

so excited today, that if I wore braces I would give em a flip.

Hey Doug! Great to hear of the visitors. Hope yer have a great time sharing
the heat with with them and swapping precious memories too. Just to let you
know that my 'Water Baby'  had opened it's wings. Came down this morning to
find it proudly displaying the prettiest set of pilot leaves I have ever
seen. I shall increase the Nutrient strength slightly to give it a bit of
additional help. This is going to be the finest Rocoto in all the world.

Now......if only I can get them Tepins to germinate for me. That would
really put the jewel in my crown. Hottest regards. Walt. CH#2218. An old
