BEDBUGS - HELPFUL TIPS ON AVOIDING THEM
Did you see yesterday that they are slowing taking over NYC? They're at the Waldorf.
The management refused to believe the victim until they saw the bites.
When you travel, be aware that they are everywhere, waiting in the dark to suck your blood - even in airline seats (eeeeeuuuuuuwwww - the pillows, the blankets1 and the upholstery!)
Always check for signs in your room - especially the welting on your mattress/box springs.
Little specks of blood on the mattress, dead insects that have been crushed.
Here are the tips:

A bit of information that you might like to know about. We have friends here in our community and one of their sons is an entomologist (insect expert), and has been telling them that there is an epidemic of bed bugs now occurring in America . Recently I have heard on the news that several stores in NYC have had to close due to bed bug problems, as well as a complete mall in New Jersey .
He says that since much of our clothing, sheets, towels, etc. now comes from companies outside of America, (sad but true), even the most expensive stores sell foreign clothing from China, Indonesia, etc. The bed bugs are coming in on the clothing as these countries do not consider them a problem. He recommends that if you buy any new clothing, even underwear and socks, sheets, towels, etc. that you bring them into the house and put them in your clothes dryer for at least 20 minutes. The heat will kill them and their eggs. DO NOT PURCHASE CLOTHES AND HANG THEM IN THE CLOSET FIRST. It does not matter what the price range is of the clothing, or if the outfit comes from the most expensive store known in the U.S. They still get shipments from these countries and the bugs can come in a box of scarves or anything else for that matter. That is the reason why so many stores, many of them clothing stores have had to shut down in NYC and other places. All you need is to bring one item into the house that has bugs or eggs and you will go to hell and back trying to get rid of them. He travels all over the country as an adviser to many of these stores, as prevention and after they have the problem.
Send this information on to those on your e-mail list so that this good prevention information gets around quickly.

GARDENING TRICKS (BASIC FOR YOU - A TRICK FOR ME)
http://www.ehow.com/video_5926930_re_pot-root_bound-plant.html?utm_source=eHOD&utm_medium=email&utm_content=5926930&utm_campaign=06_10_2010
The catnip, the oreganos, the basil and the rosemary I bought this year suffered. They were rootbound when I bought them, and though I tried, they just gave up and died.
So here's a video that may help.
Now, can anyone tell me how to start cactus seeds?
And will chilpequins do well in the house over the winter? They are about 3 inches high, or will they do well outdoors in panhandle Florida (their home is the southwest desert). I was able to raise two plants.
