![]() I get most of my plants on eBay since I can't find a local nursery with more than one or two varieties. I need to replace several this year because of my "mystery critter" that downed some of mine last year.
![]() I'm enjoying the Sun - before the next rain!!! |

I sold plants at the Encinitas Garden Festival and La Mesa Farmer's market this last week. Only had 5 kinds for sampling, but we managed to suffer through it!!
