Well, had a good day. JB. how does it feel to be a day older.

Dave, it is so great you had a cool down. We are suppose to have one over the weekend. I have a young man coming over to help me garden on Saturday. He is the head of the crew that is here on Thursdays. He said he lost his Saturday job and I told him that is good because now he can help me. I hope to get caught up. Dave, we have an average of 2 1/2 inches of rain a year. So far this year, Nada. 20 inches in 12 hours in the SW would be 3 100 years floods in one day. We would be swept down to Mexico via the Colorado river.

I have to take the dog across the street to the eye doctor tomorrow. That is no problem. The problem is the eye doctor is right next door to the most expensive, astounding nursery in town. I will just have to behave.

I took the plants out of my EZ Cloner today and cleaned it. I have 4 Grandflora Magnolias rooted and two more lantana. The tree down the street I tried to root did nothing but die.

I am going to try the trees again but I am going to cover the cuttings to create humidity. Also going to try hardy hibiscus again. I found 3 seed pods on Moi Grande Hardy Hibiscus. I am going to see if I can get them to germinate also.

Evelyn, I am so sorry you lost your post again. I really enjoy hearing what you are doing. How is your weather? Is it OK to send you your White Hardy Hibiscus and a couple more surprises. Your tomatoes are beautiful. Are they heirloom. What caused you to plant purple tomatoes.

Merry, if you think separating will make our posts make more sense, you are dreaming. But I will try. I am on one post where you need to make the posts bolder because a couple of women cannot see as well.

Jnette, I am going to try and find the seed on line. I have to order some bean seeds for the greenhouse so I will look for the petunias. Dawn, if I find some, I will get a pack for you.

Dawn, is your weather cooling down. We are going from 105, to 96, to 84, to 100 the next 4 days.

Avianut, those photo and your landscape is beautiful. I borrowed the photos and placed them in my folder for help on the slope down the street. I want a cup of tea and just sit on that bench. How is your bird population? I am asking because Dawn and I are looking for a place to hide from the heat next year but we have to have birds to watch and hear. Is that a babbling brook? LOL.

Dave, these new oleanders do not look like the old ones. And they are suppose to smell good. I wasn't thinking you would grow them for yourself but to sell to the SW. You must understand, if it grows in the SW, we love it. I could not believe the first time I saw an oleander in Texas. It was so beautiful, I did not realize it was an oleander. It is amazing what a little humidity can do to a plant.

I have two photos today. One to show how big the tomato bushes have gotten.
