Well, I got your video just fine. It makes me wish I had a way to do video. It must have been a hot day or your fishies weren't very hungry. My fishies would have swarmed that food. I love to watch them eating and try to stretch it out.

Hi everyone, Thanks for commenting on the pics--I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Aren't those zinnias great? They're virtually foolproof for summer color as long as they get occasional water (but like I said, I do head out of town a lot even in summer and they have to survive w/o automatic irrigatin). Let's see...since these pics do not show my Tree of Shame (which now has twenty one baskets it in), I can reply with what's hanging in the tree in pic #2. Thanks for asking...there are three pots of cascading vinca ('Mediterranean Apricot Broadeye' which I started from seeds from Park Seed Co...it cascades wonderfully), there's a pot with one of the "mule's ears" kalanchoes (Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri), a lantana (I stand firm as a fan of them, lol), a blue flowering puya (Puya berteroniana that I also grew from seed (what can I say? I'm cheap!)), and if you look closely, at the left, you can see some spaghetti-like stems dangling in the air...that pot is actually hung so high (16 feet) that you can't see it, but it's full of Rapunzel plant, Sarcostemma viminale which almost touches the ground now (I had to hang it by standing on a very tall ladder and I have to arc water up to its pot with the hose once a week), and finally, the dark bronze-purple plant does indeed look like purple hearts from this distance, but it's my new favorite ornamental sweet potato 'Sweet Caroline Bronze' which stays compact and makes great bronzey-burgundy leaves which emerge a golden chartreuse, AND it loves full sun. I know, I know...more than you wanted to know, but hey, you asked. :) Now, just don't make me list what's hanging in the Tree of Shame...that would take all day. :P Take care and thanks again for commenting, Grant Here is a link that might be useful: Mediterranean Apricot Broadeye from Park Seed

For all those that urinate on their plants, it really pisses me off! Oh my Mercie!!lol Don't do that for fear you might get caught with your pants down. I have a couple of things you can do easier than that. Just do an Indian dance for rain every other day since rains pH is perfect and they will do fine. It has worked for me. Now I can't get it to stop raining..lol You should see how nice and green mine are now. Josh is right Merciepoo:-) Or, I should of told you that a long time ago that vinegar used correctly can enrich the color of your trees so much. You remember when mine use to be yellow? Using a capful of vinegar in my water has kept them a rich green for years. It naturally lowers the pH solution being applied to your acid loving plants and plants, well you can appreciate this, especially GARDENIA react very well to it. Mike

I like all of them. That highway one is WAY cool! JoanMN/FL
