Ya`ll have fun! We`ll be at the fall swap. We always want to trade for rocks lol! But we live on the coast and our rocks are ground up really small, we call them sand. The road trip is worth it for us, gets us off the island, a mini-vacation, tour of Ragnas garden, we do the river walk thing, Jim digs up mesquite-he`s never going to forgive me if I forget a shovel this year!, we enjoy seeing trees and hills for a change. See ya`ll in the fall. Roflmao at ya`ll chasing tumbleweeds down the roads. Tally HO!

To follow up on our discussion of Helleborus foetidus with Karen and Judy at timestamps April 1-2. Our concern was to what degree the problems with dividing it extend to transplanting as a reflection of possible sensitivity to root disturbance. We are pleased to report that the extracted single plant that we obtained from Judy has done very well. It was first kept in a pot in deep shade the whole summer and watered well, even putting on some growth: It was planted out in the first week of November slightly raised with an extra layer of soil added around it (because of root competition in that bed). It is blooming right now: A couple of additional backup plants, obtained in that same batch but kept together in one pot, didn't make it through the summer, indicating that they are still quite sensitive to growth conditions, similar to the earlier batches that were planted out immediately in spring and died. In addition our plan B, to scatter in a number of locations the seeds obtained from Karen plus collected from local sites, turned out fully successful: we got germination of multiple seedlings at each location. So we may finally get some H. foetidus growing.
