I planted mine about a month ago - it's still little but it has started to grow more now that the weather is hot. The variety that I plant is Louisiana Green Velvet - I get it at a local nursery. Let me know if you can't find it, I'll send you some.

I think you deserve one, you work so hard out there and soon there will be time to enjoy the weekends , now that the house is organized and the gardens are shaping up.<br />Hope you get time to relax and enjoy your weekends just pottering about and taking in the serenity.MargaretPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990336317308988689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-60622964145255406702016-05-10T14:57:20.295-05:002016-05-10T14:57:20.295-05:00Yum.
