Well, well, well...

I got paroled from Mudcat purgatory...

No, Janie, don't repot the azaleas... Just plant them where ever you want them to grow old... If you don't have a spot then, yeah, you can graduate them to larger pots but they really would rather be planted in the ground... If you have "Pine Fines" or can get a bag, 1/3 Pine Fines and 2/3s of what ever comes out of the hole is the best planting medium for them... I little Holly Tone in the fall sprinkled around the base of the plant will also make them happy... Not alot, mind you... Half a cup is plenty for them at this stage...

I finally got my lima beans in but couldn't find the romas... So the P-Vine remembered giving them to Mr. Clifford last year and, sho nuff, he still has some 20 beans left... Guess I'll round them up and get them in later today...

Had a buddy come up here with his back hoe the last couple days... He worked on a section of my long driveway where the rain couldn't get to the ditches... More importantly, he dug out 8 locust stumps which were growing hundreds of nasty, spiny locust sprouts... Now they are in a big pile waiting for a nice winter bon fire...
