Sounds yummy, maeve...

I planted 9 broccoli seedlings and we have spinach, arugala and beets coming up... We put in a late cucumber (sweet slice) and are getting one or two a day from it... Peppers are outrageous... One thinks its a tree...LOL...

Dug the hole for the "dragon's eye" variegated pine... I am very concerned about it as the dirt here is so bad and doesn't drain well... I'm going to put 4 inches of gravel in the bottom of the hole and plant it high in a mix of sand, Va. top soil, Permatil, clay and gypsum... I'm planting it on a high spot so hopefully water won't stand on it... But I don't mind saying that I am more than a little concerned about it...

BTW, our hostas are doing well... Does anyone know what Ph they like???
