Wednesday, July 13 View Page Look at that "healthy" bamboo which is in the way of my DAG. Thursday, July 14 View Page A very wicked storm rolled in today, smashing my plants. Looking at the damage at twilight, I have some work to do. Weather. Borers. Tree Limbs. Sacrifices. Bamboo. Davis. Sunday, July 17 View Page Put more soil on the two bigguns.
