Gardening: Monarda for the south?
Attention southern gardeners: Has anyone grown Monarda "Peter's Purple" and, if so, what have your experiences been? I was perusing the new High Country Gardens catalog and they describe it as heat-tolerant (they list it as Zones 6-10) and completely mildew resistant, and it apparently has done very well in trials in Texas. Since monarda was far and away the biggest hummingbird attractor for me when I grew it in New York, I am tempted...

Design & Décor: Furniture Re-Do Ideas
A few things about us / what I'm looking for --
1) I'm not the most handy. Okay, fine. I'm not handy at all. ;-) I'd like to change that, however.
2) My husband is deployed overseas, so manly help isn't an option right now.
3) I've never so much as held a paintbrush, so verrry simple projects & ideas are welcomed.
