Video on re-potting orchids

It is truly amazing what you can find on eHow.com.  At our last meeting I asked Anne Marie Crocker how to re-pot an orchid and she said to bring one in and she would show me.   In the meantime Deen Brais found a wonderful video from eHow that answers my question with a step-by-step demonstration.  Take a look at it by clicking on this link:


Thanks Deen!

January Horticultural tip

It's not too late to spray anti-dessicant on your shrubs.  The temperature should be at least 40 degrees so leaves will dry before dusk.  Check for frost heaves planted in the garden and gently push them back into the ground.
