I hate to use chemicals, even on plants we don't eat. The chemicals have such a horrible ripple effect on the birds and beneficial insects. Thank you! The insecticide looks like it's really drying out

Thank you Nancy! The quote came up in one of my daily readers a few days ago, The Daily Stoic, and it was perfect for the book. Those earthquakes have been horrible in Venezuela! Was your town effected?

I really like the Prairie Fire variety. The color is amazing in spring and it's supposed to be fairly drought and disease tolerant. I was amazed how quickly the beetles appeared—seemingly overnight. We

I’m concerned with the physical impediments as well as the spirit starting to settle and the desire waning. My Dad was fairly active into his late 70’s but he suffered from a lot of pain.

😂 I guess precrastination = celerity.

Thank you and I hope you accomplish this! I have a hunch you will. ; )
