    Question for those that know trees

    Don't plant a monoculture of evergreens. If one gets sick they ALL get sick. I see this all of the time where I, a whole row of same evergreens, now brown and dead.

    It's not a glazed ceramic pot, but I like it anyway. I KNOW that plastic pots are really the very best for most plants, BUT, I adore pretty ceramic pots, and the price just keeps climbing on them. I picked up 4 blue ceramic pots, 3 different sizes, with texture, at Dollar General last month...

    Somehow we forgot to get Tegan her rabies and distemper shots last Fall, which my Vet did earlier this month. I even mailed it off promptly and promptly got the tag on her collar.

    I am throwing away all broken things, as I find them, checking with DD's regarding any family items that they might want to keep and repair. There is nobody here to argue keeping them.
