I'm hoping that Glenn will put his ad on Craigslist again this next season. Pecans should be ready for harvest soon, so I will be watching for that ad.

Heat and moisture do their dirty deed, and it's done dirt cheap--at considerable expense to the gardener, I'm afraid. I always have to add at least a top dressing of mulch every spring. At least the pecan mulch looks pretty and makes a nice sound when you walk on it!walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-88680763098688865792012-05-05T06:50:44.864-05:002012-05-05T06:50:44.864-05:00It looks very nice.

The other pronunciations, by the way, are not your typical dictionary version. They're more of the local flavor. <br /><br />Thanks, Tina! We only had enough of the pecan mulch to barely cover a couple of beds in the front yard. The tropical bed is in back by the pool. Maybe next year we can order more mulch for that bed. I love walking around in the stuff but definitely not barefoot. It's very crunchy! Thanks for the info on the lupine. It's a beautiful plant.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-60985427034329711672012-05-02T09:44:17.846-05:002012-05-02T09:44:17.846-05:00That's a beautiful mulch!!!

There's probably not much nut left for the squirrels to bother with, but you know how cats can be with lots of loose stuff to push around:)walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-18597859176653235982012-05-01T18:08:47.928-05:002012-05-01T18:08:47.928-05:00I just love happy endings!
