People think I'm crazy enough as it is without seeing me whip my treesI used to read this master gardener a lot. (before computer) He was asked what his secret was to such strong healthy trees. His answer stuck with me forever. He quoted the Bible. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Then he went on to explain. When he planted a tree he would cut a switch and go out there and "whip" the tree . They built up scar tissue that made them strong. Not exactly his words but close enough .
and I caught TuTu sitting in the box with Mae West. So maybe she will lay in the nest and the others will, too.
Just remember, she right there with you because she is in your heart
