I would love to come to Chicago and help you plant. But, that's my busy gardening time also. So if you want to put off planting until say, maybe July I can help you. Of course it won't do you any good then, but at least you would have help. :) And second but, the last time I was in Chicago some jerk (certainly not from Chicago!) stole a CB radio from my car parked at the Museum of Science and Industry. Wouldn't the downtown look nice if you could plant gourds in containers and grow them up the IC at the loop. Is it still the IC that runs on the loop? Lillian, who still misses looping around in Chicago. thekepps@bright.net
