We aren't sure what the problem is. You can only post to the pbs list in text or html and text since html (or formatting) is stripped leaving a blank message so that is what is usually the cause of messages without any text. Someone wrote me saying that the message below is the one she was hoping to post. If she sends the message to me or Diane we may be able to figure out why the messages are not getting through. Mary Sue I need information about which soil to use for germinating Japanese iris. Thanks very much, Anita Clyburn
