Thanks for the compliment, Karlae. Last winter I discovered a "dirt yard" about 5 miles from us right on 35E. Had the yard crew haul some of what they termed Dallas Special Soil. In it and already mixed was Lava Sand, Texas Green Sand and hardwood mulch from this area. It has been like Jack and The Beanstalk ever since. I had back surgery this summer and other than DH watering, everything was pretty much on its own. My Lord.
You wouldn't believe how big everything grew. Only additive we ever did was Epsom Salt.

Supposed to be 28 tonight and stay below freezing for most of tomorrow. That will be the end of the bloom. So thrilled that I even had a start that I am happy.

Maybe next year.
