Then I am lovin' my $0 water bill! OH I would die if i had to pay y'alls bill every month!! TG for a good well, cause I've been watering 1 hour each every day in 3 different beds with the new sprinkler system my DS just put in for me, but before that when I was dragging that yard snake around I was watering 3 hours every other day that really needed to be done every day!

Pattie and Sylvia... come on down.. we have 22 acres.. 10 we mow, LOTS of Piney woods, $0 water bill and 1/4 mile off the "main" road which is a farm to market road..LOL... then 2 miles to a major highway. It's an hour's drive to go to the "big city", but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in TX. I am the 5th generation to steward this land, the land owns me, not the other way around!

Hello to all you good TX folks I know .. I'm looking forward to the fall RU so I can see y'all again

ON topic..lol.. I love the B&B! I have one in better soil that has grown leaps and bounds, but 1 in poor soil that hasn't done much so that might be an answer of where to plant it. I love it too!!

Speaking of the brugs, I don't fertilize like I should, but this is a pic of a NOID I dug up last fall and put in my green house. Then the breaker tripped on the 2 coldest nights of the year in January. She had to come back up from her roots. I counted 32 buds on her... talking about a proud Momma..LOL
