Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics. Mary, and Happy 4th of July to you. I hope you get some help with your grass hopper invasison. Didn't know they could do that much damage. I am searching for some help with my earwigs. They have invaded my pots - 4-inch pots hanging from my deck rail in little holders. Don't know how they got there but they are doing a number on my petunias.

Happy 4th of July! I hope you all have a wonderful, safe celebration with family and friends! hugs~ kasha77

Hi Gill! Long time no talk. Sounds like they're doing great. Too bad about the pindo and trachy seeds. The trachy seeds I had this winter rotted. I think they need alot more warmth than I could give them to start germinating. So as always here are some pics of my largest washy. I threw in a few yard pics as well. I couldn't resist. I don't know if I've told everyone how much I love pictures. LOL! You can barely see the newest frond coming up. It has two points so I think it will split! The old leaves on my cavendish are burning but the new ones will be fine. Sorry guys. I have a picture posting problem. I really cant help it. Jay

Awww....Thanks, ladies! We used to tell our three children the fireworks were for me. They believed it for a long time. It's nice everyone is off so we can all celebrate it on the day. I'm full from bbq and smoked turkey, as we speak. No cakes or pies this year - I'm being good! Thanks again. :)
