The Control Group is the container with the MycoGrow, which is what I have been using in the past. My preliminary results are showing the Biota Max is more effective in this trial. More trials next Summer, but for my limited Fall planting, I am encouraged with what I am seeing to date. Raybo

Thanks all for the comments. One of the reasons I picked this one was for the eye on it. Very distinctive and hopefully will make some nice babies in the future. Its color is different from Luddy's pics on his website which shows a lighter coloration. The description of it is orange cream tone which is near to what the eye sees and not the lighter color displayed on his website. I also have CANYON COLORS(bloomed already this season) PURPLE CROWN FAIRY AND MESOZOIC MUNCH (has scaped and hopefully will see the flower this season). Julia

Hi Carla, How are things in Sac? Going to hit 90+ degrees here in Los Gatos on Tuesday. Fall temps are actually warmer than we had all Summer - go figure! Have to credit Dear Wife with the Fall decorations. Not my strong talent!! Raybo

There is wildlife, but the most to see in the main part of park are fowl:hawk, crow, a couple different woodpeckers, smaller birds, etc...Last year we saw an eagle...Can occasionly 'hear' deer...I don't snap good pics of birds, got a groundhog last year that was half way decent...We occasionally walk the trails...but probably, no matter how quiet you walk, don't see much of anything else... I suppose if you get there early, early...and this is what dh says, probably can see the animal kingdom waking up! juanital
