Wow, that’s some impressive growth for just one year! How are you liking St. Pete so far? I bet it’s changed a lot since you lived there last.

Thanks RedRabbit. Yes St Pete has changed a lot and we have not liked the change. It is not the same place as it was, we do miss Cape Coral. We have had a tough time here but we keep going!

@Palmaceae I'm agog!

Hmm. Maybe we could charter a bus and have a PSSC meeting at your place one of these days?

Love that volcanic lava mulch. Both when it's new and loud, and older and a bit muted.

Thank you Dave! I just freshened up the mulch a month ago.

Sorry to hear that @Palmaceae. At least you’ve got an awesome garden, I hope things turn around for you in St. Pete.

Dave, It’s wood chips. From afar it does look a lot like red lace though.

I know, they're dyed, which fades after a while.

They don't do that here, for whatever the reason.
