I see that you like caladiums, my wife loves them too, and I do too. She is in a constant battle with the squirrels, she plants caladium bulbs, they dig them up and eat them. We still have managed to have some grow though.

Its nice the way you planted tree rings, they are so attractive.

Our garden is going great with a squash ready to pick and a hot pepper about ready too. Maters are small but growing.

I was warned once by an arborist about building up around the roots of trees with a flower bed. he said that it was not good for the tree as the roots as they grow are at the depth they are supposed to be and the raised dirt could harm the tree. We did end up losing the tree, but it was going when I did the flower bed.

Has anyone else heard about this?

Just got though tilling up the new garden patch way out back by the next road. I am wore slam out. That tiller is a wrestling match for this old goat. But it's done now and the rest is relatively easy.
I think that I am just going to use a dripper hose on a timer rather than a drip irrigation system on this patch, at least for this year.
I told my wife to make plenty of room in the freezer and have plenty of okra recipes on hand.

Thanks again for the seeds.
