For lush, full container displays, place 3 plants in a 10 to 12-in. (25 to 30-cm) container, hanging basket or patio planter. Larger containers will require additional plants for an attractive, proportioned display.

It is not recommended that you plant your Wave Petunias in the same place every year. You'll see the best results if you do not plant them in the same bed two consecutive years. Move them around your garden. They are great in containers and baskets or try some in another sunny bed. For baskets and containers, dispose of the old soil and replace with new, fresh potting soil each year. Rotate your Wave Petunia beds and you'll enjoy the best performing plants year after year.

Choose a bright, sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Sun is a MUST to keep your plants blooming and looking their best all season.

Wave Petunias were really developed to be planted once during the season and then allowed to die after the first frost. In very mild climates like Southern Florida, Texas and coastal Southern California – Wave Petunias will grow through the Winter. The rest of North America gets frost during late Autumn and Wave does not survive the Winter months, especially in containers and baskets. We recommend starting fresh each Spring with new, young plants for the best performing petunias!

Since Wave Petunias are "hybrids" – crossing two "parent" plants to get a specific "offspring" – the plants you purchase from the garden center each year are really one-of-a-kinds. Any seed that is taken from Wave Petunias will not grow into the same Wave plant and very likely will not perform in the same way. And since each Wave series is legally protected and trademarked, collecting and re-planting Wave seeds infringes on our intellectual property.

Wave Petunias can be planted in just about any sunny location. They have outstanding garden performance, plus they also work well in hanging baskets, large containers and window boxes. Tidal Wave Petunias grow according to how you space them - Spaced 12 in. (30 cm) apart, they form a dense, mounded hedge - Spaced a little farther apart – about 18 in. (45 cm) – they will perform as large mounded plants.

Don't let your Wave Petunias dry out between waterings. They need plenty of water, but keep in mind that the soil in beds and containers must be well-drained and containers dry out faster than in-ground beds. If possible, water your plants in the morning so the foliage dries before evening. Wave Petunias are heavy "feeders." The full potential of Wave Petunias will not be realized from hungry plants.

The more established the plant, the more heat tolerant it is. If you can, plant your Wave Petunias early enough to enable the them to establish strong root systems before high temperatures set in. The Dallas Arboretum named Tidal Wave Silver as the most heat tolerant petunia for the state of Texas.

Using a mulch protects the roots and conserves moisture, however, Wave Petunias form their own solid mat of color as they grow.

We recommend that you rotate bed plantings every year and replace the soil in containers. We have found that this simple step minimizes the loss of plants. Wave petunias require at least six hours of full sun to perform at their best. And Wave Petunias are heavy "feeders"! If possible, mix a tablespoon of dry or slow-release fertilizer with the soil or into the hole when you are planting your Wave Petunias. This will provide constant food as the plant grows.

The first thing you can do is check the Retailer Locator to see if there are other garden centers in your area that carry Ride The Wave Petunias. If there is not one in your area, you can order Ride The Wave seeds and plants via mail order companies that will ship directly to your home. You can also visit your local retailer and make a request to order Ride The Wave Petunias for the next growing season. If your store does not sell Wave Petunias, ask them why.

We suggest you purchase a garden pesticide that is recommended for petunias or flowers in general. Follow the instructions on the label and it should control the insect problem accordingly.

Wave Petunias will seed, however, as long as you fertilize and water them, they will continue to grow and bloom normally. If you continue to fertilize your plants, new growth will appear within 2 weeks. If they start looking "stringy," cut them back a few inches as long as you continue to fertilize them twice a week. It will most likely take at least 10 to 14 days to see results.

Check closely to make sure it isn't dirt or even seed from the plant. It may be an insect, in which case a pesticide may be needed. Consult an expert to identify the pest and suggestions for the best treatment.

Wave Petunias really perform best when planted outdoors during the Summer months. The conditions indoors, even in a sunny spot, are tough on Wave Petunias, as with many other Summer garden plants. We recommend starting fresh each Spring with new, young plants for the best performing petunias!

It is a difficult task to breed yellow petunias and even more of a challenge to make sure the plants have a spreading habit like the rest of the Wave series. We are currently working toward developing a yellow for the Ride The Wave Family and will be sure to make a large announcement when it's ready to be introduced. Wave Petunias come in other unique colors – like Blue and Salmon – so you have some alternative choices until the yellow is unveiled!

Start with a container with a diameter approximately 12-15 inches and about 6 inches deep. Place some rocks on the bottom of this container in order to provide optimal drainage. 2.) Add 2 to 4 inches of potting soil for the first planting level. Place the taller flowering bulbs such as Tulips, Daffodils and Hyacinths close together. Remember to keep the points up and cover this layer with soil. 3.) Plant smaller bulbs such as Crocus, Anemone Blanda, Puschkinia Libanotica, etc. in this layer.

Dig a hole large enough in the soil to fit the whole root comfortably, pat down the soil well and water. Fertilize the soil.

A wave is a traveling disturbance that moves energy from one location to another without transferring matter. Oscillations in a medium or material create mechanical waves that propagate away from the location of the oscillation. For example, a pebble dropped into a pool of water creates vertical oscillations in the water, while the wave propagates outward horizontally along the plane of the pond.

A ? Yes, anytime the days are nice - but only those planters that are light enough for you to move inside if frost threatens. So moss baskets may be difficult for some people to manage moving. Containers received as Mother?s Day gifts may contain cold-tolerant plants, like pansies or osteospermum; but do not consider them frost-proof. Impatiens, begonias, and other warm-weather plants cannot tolerate cold nights at all.

The swim is organized by "waves" that is one or more divisions start at specific times with 2-10 minutes inbetween. Wave start times are posted at Packet pick up and an information sheet is included in your race packet. You must start in your wave according to USAT rules or result in a time penalty or disqualification.

Containers must be placed at the curb before 7:00 a.m. on collection day (and may be set out the night before). City Ordinance requires that all containers be retrieved from the curb within 24 hours of collection, and placed to the side or at the rear of the residence.

Consult the Empty Container Decision Tree in the Hazardous Chemical Waste Management Reference Guide for Laboratories (page 11) to determine if your empty container can be safely disposed of in the regular trash or if it must be managed as hazardous waste.

I tried to compile ... but the compiler complains that isigopen (or iannopen, or strtim, or wfdbinit) is undefined.

We’d like to but it is very difficult to do without specimens; verbal descriptions rarely suffice. If the identification is important to you consult your local library, especially a college or university library, for references used to identify the native or horticultural plants of your area. Illustrations, either photos or line drawings, can be most helpful.

The following information is from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. The list refers to toxicity in cats and dogs, however, most of the plants listed are suspect for toxicity in most species. This is NOT a comprehensive list. For specific information, consult your veterinarian, or call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-4-ANI-HELP. In the #106/March 2001 issue of the Rat Report, Debbie Ducommun uses avacado as the Treat of the Month. "A favorite with almost all rats is avocado.

The movement of the vibration plate with a small amplitude of 2 to 4 mm simulates the body's natural 'stretch reflex' (Tonic Vibration Reflex). This is similar to the knee jerk reaction that occurs when the knee is tapped by a reflex hammer in a doctor's office. Without thinking about it, your body responds with a strong involuntary muscle contraction, leading to your leg 'kicking out'. With the WAVEä technology, these strong muscle contractions can be repeated at a rapid rate.

Research shows that Vibration training does not stress the cardio system. This is beneficial to those individuals that cannot handle the demands of conventional strength training, which may put a stress on their cardiovascular system. However, if you want to add a cardio component to the exercises, you can easily increase the difficulty of the exercise with less breaks in between.
