Operculicarya Decaryi, And
Comments (35)Hey Josh, Actually, there's a guy a few towns away who sells huge bags of Perlite @ incredble prices.. Found him on Craigslist. At first I was skeptical about his Perlite, but after talking to an African Violet specialist, he reassured me the size was ideal. As for raised bed, no can do. With two rambunctious dogs, (most plants in the back yard are potted trops & sucs,) they, especially the younger, would pluck and drag plants out of the ground..lol. It wouldn't work in front either, but there's enough room to plant 'x' amount of house plants in the front garden, (flat) but can't do the beds. I wish.. Have you ever read anything by James Underwood Crockett, the original host of the tv show, Victory Garden? He loved plants of all types, and author several plant books.

Since 1978, at the end of the month, I read the following months guide to plants. I LOVE his book! if you saw its condition, you would understand..it looks very very read. Okay, Josh, now you know the history of Mr Crockett..lolol There's still a few months, well, 3-4, before plants can go outdoors. Josh, I thought you had plants growing in the ground? Didn't you have Sedum planted in-ground? Toni...See MoreOperculicarya decaryi in red....
