Already lost two tomato plants here in North Florida to the rain. But we're sub-tropical and it goes with the territory...; 6/25/13, 7:53 AM

Were the rains that heavy?

They've been promising here for almost a week, but we get nothing.; 6/25/13, 7:57 AM

I declined.; 6/25/13, 8:09 AM

Hot Spots

Series of drenching rains in Philadelphia. Flowers look nice.; 6/25/13, 8:12 AM

I grow only food for birds.

The Washington Hawthorne has been a failure because the birds eat it all in the autumn and there's never anything left for the winter.

The Smooth Sumac has done best, not only providing the house with effective and light-weight summer shade but providing berries that the birds hate so they're always left in late winter for birds with much lower standards.

It's banned in some states as a weed.; 6/25/13, 8:41 AM
