I've seen cats, chickens and gold fish in others. Truthfully, it makes me want to move in. The massive rain keeps me inside, but when I do go out I find that slugs were hared at work. I had to sprinkle slug bait around my emerging Hostas and especially Ligularia Othello: their favorite but also mine. chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-70514227569805196432014-04-02T07:24:31.495-07:002014-04-02T07:24:31.495-07:00I didn't know about the apple cider, sounds yu...I didn't know about the apple cider, sounds yummy! Not only did it transport you into summer, it also sent you to the tropics! That enormous Sago palm was there back in January when Nigel and I went. I love that little spot with the bistro table and the little pond with turtles. Happy to see all those Hesperaloes, but Flower World still isn't exactly local, it's more than an hour's drive, and up 405 too, which is a lot of no fun. Do you think Jungle Fever will have some?Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
