Well thank you for your interest - my website at www.binettigarden.com is the best place to find out about future talks, trips and garden seminars. I also write a weekly column for over a dozen newspapers in Western Washington and you can follow it online at TacomaNewsTribune or The Daily Olympian. For more indepth information I write gardening articles for this website that you are reading now - www.plantersplace.com Now for that pesky crabgrass. A small patch is best handled by digging it up roots and all and then reseeding after adding topsoil to the old hole where you removed the crabgrass. If this will take too long for you then remove a peice of sod in a corner of your lawn and use it to place into the vacant area. Like inserting a missing puzzle piece into a puzzle. Then you can reseed the less obvious corner section of the grass where you borrowed the sod plug. Now enjoy growing hosta and heuchera and hellebores in large pots, experiment with new plants and Keep Growing, Marianne Binetti
