Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

It just gets better and better, Jim.
The fragrance from that lemon tree would be such a heady scent.
The other tree in bloom...olive?

Quite the haircut on that yucca. :?

Nice to see people taking such pride in healthy plants.

Thanks!
