Re: [GSAS-Member] Water Sprite, Water Lettuce, & Duckweed

[<haika@drizzle.com>]

I couldn't make it to the meeting last night, but would love to get some
healthy water lettuce. I've mailordered it before and got mush. Haven't
seen healthy plants in the local stores either. But then, I haven't gone
up to Moorehaven in Everett, which probably has it. Where are you located?
I'm in south Bothell and work north of the U District. By the way, my
goldfish tank gets ALL the duckweed from mine and my co-workers tanks and
can just barely keep up with it <G>.
