First I will get the ragging over with . They shut down the NPSOT Data base with the government shut down. Now how much would that cost? Its a web site. Does it need people to be on a holding pattern?

I went their to check my new plants from the LBJ Wildflower center. Yes , I went their yesterday and bought way to many things. Everything I wanted was in a gallon container. I git a wrights penstemon, golden leadball tree, Whitlow wort, Yellow Necklace pod, Green Milkweed, Elbow bush, Amsonia ciliate, Simpsons rosin weed, Purple prairie clover,. Berlandiers trumpet vine, and a white American beauty bush. and THEN I stopped by the Natural Gardener. I be bad. I am trying to find places for things now. I need dirt, lots of xeric dirt.

I had 3/4" of rain last night. Everything had diamonds on them this morning.
