    Thank You, Larry – You may be a “laidback” gardener, but you are a very active and prolific writer! I have learned much after stumbling across your blog, being entertained at the same time. Congratulations to you on your success, and thanks again!

  4. Congrats, and I’m guessing every gardener needs to be reminded of that. 🙂
