Dave ~ Do you have a website where you offer the varieties of your plants? I would like some of the things that you have listed there, but only a few, not a whole flats of Crape Myrtle and Silver Mound. If you had a couple thousand going, wouldn't it really be too much? LOL!

Jill ~ I have a ComposTumbler and really like it. Still, you have quite a few valid points. First of all, it really is not mine, I don't think, but maybe it will be. I have a neighbor who will be moving up here soon who let me borrow it. What I do is empty it out every 14 days and put it on the compost pile in my fenced garden area and then let it finish, as it is not finished in 14 days, though they claim that. (My fenced garden is visible from the road, and now it does not look like I just put my garbage out there.) I usually add a half bag of chicken manure if there are not enough things to put in there to help it along. Many times my husband will have wood shavings for me and other assorted goodies from his building efforts to add in there. I have two piles there as well, the new one and the old one. When I empty the bin, I put in on the new pile...and the new pile gets moved on top of the old pile. It is much better than our old method, as before it looked like we tossed garbage out the window. The animals always got into it, and made a big mess. Now they do not, as it is in the fenced area. Good luck on your test and job application, and please let us know how it went, OK?.

Mary ~ What Creeping Phlox are you looking for? I might have some small pieces that I can share. I have white, a lavender-blue and a pink. The only thing is I won't ship until fall as the weather is too hot right now and I have quite a bit going here as well to do any digging and shipping.

JB ~ How is your cousin doing? Is it still extremely hot there? It is cool this morning, but it may be an anomaly.

Gotta' go now...work to be done.

CHEERS!
