I never thought about the red, maybe I will get that pot for it, thanks Sally.

Sure, I'd love a few more Nanking seeds, Betty, thanks!

I did some planting today.

Has anybody ever heard of straw bale gardening? It seems to be getting more popular. Especially with people that don't want to bend down much. - http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=straw bale gardening&id=...

The first pic is just a big Ozark Witch Hazel that I unloaded.

The 2nd pic is my Japanese Maple 'Ornatum' that I repotted into a nicer square pot and put it in the middle of the pavement. It's looking better, it was a twig when I got it from Ebay for $10.99 plus shipping.
