Hot as a three dollar pistol here, as well...

Gonna be 90 today...

The landscape job I am doing in for the Town of Luray... They are renovation their old train depot to the tune of $2M... Yes, that's 2 million bucks... The P-Vine and I bid the job and won (haha) it... 237 plants... Most of them are going to be half and hour installs but the "bones" are major plantings... The largest are 3 creape myrtls that were field grown and dug with a 36 inch hydrolic spade and they are somewhat planted... Well, lets say they are in the holes that were dug with a backhoe and at the correct heights and the holes half filled with combination of Pine Fines, clay and top soil... I used up an entire pickup truck worth of top soil on them allready and need another to finish them...

As fir the mushrooms??? Yeah, I think I know who got 'um and he's a buddy of mine so I ain't gonna say nuthin' 'cause maybe last year I got to the patch before him... The problm right now is that the trees have all leafed out and it's harder to distiguish poplar forests and that's where they live...

As fir gardening??? Got our palms outta the barn where they winter under grow lights and the mandovia out where it winters in the mud room... We are going to Maryland tomorrow to buy azaleas for the garden center... This guy, Mike White, propagates alot of really nice cultivars...

Haven't looed in the veg garden since we panted it... Reckon the spinich and lettuce will be up this week...

Gotta go...

Oh yeah, cats??? Gonna get me a Super Soaker today...
