Thanks Jane. Sorry about the Tarzan thang. No offense was intended. I just needed to let lose with all the pressures here. You probably get a lot of that and so I do apologize. Besides native plants, I am a rock hound at heart too. So beside the seives, there are other things I am sure I will find there.
