I guess I'm up to 16 and have room for more. There is talk of 70" of snow and colder than normal this winter... Once the fall color is past, I'll really bundle the maples up and hope they make it through... can't do that indefinitely but I think doing so for the first few years has value. Thanks for inquiring about my choulder... very slow with lots of scar tissue... biggest pain area is where they removed part of the clavicle... the therapist expects I'll get back to full range with it. Enjoy your fall after the summer you dealt with...

With Autumn Joy, I usually step a shovel in the ground very close to the stems of the plant all the way around as a sort of root pruning which keeps them upright for me through the summer. But of course, our summers are so much different than your summers, lol. <br /><br />Oh, to have a turtle to visit my gardens would be fun, we've had people bring them to us, but they don't stay. Love the umbrella grass, too!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247599177074284311.post-62733571953903131272011-10-13T19:25:15.640-05:002011-10-13T19:25:15.640-05:00Great photos.

I had heard of the name 'sedum' before, and I knew I had seen them, but it wasn't until you said 'stonecrop' that I realized we have some here too!!!<br /><br />I love the umbrella grass - and it's beautiful surroundings.<br /><br />I'm so glad Texas is finally getting some rain, but it's hard to say congrats when we are already well into the rainy season, after coming off one of the wettest winters on record last winter, and looking forward to more of the same this year. We've already had weeks of the wet stuff.

We got enough to make our rivers flow again (the ones I've been using as a path because they were so dry...I guess not technically a "rivers," but more a creek). And everything feels fresher and cooler.
