It's hard to figure out why it does some times and not others. <br /><br />I hope you are having some better weather soon so you can get back out in your garden. Our weather has been wonderful the last week, but last Sunday, I tripped on Heid's front yard leash while holding our grandson, and landed hard on one knee. It is still hurting, so I'm trying to stay off of it as much as I can. I'm sitting in the front yard with the computer in my lap right now. Oh, the things that can keep us from gardening!

It is hard to see all your compost and mulch floating away--they don't call it "The Muddy Mississip" for nothing! I wish I had a rain retention tank like they use at my favorite nursery here; The Natural Gardener. <br /><br />I am always charmed by Lanata.

It was very welcome. We just don't have the downpours here that we used to see while living in Iowa. We don't get tornadoes, either, so no complaints.
