RIP 1953-2021
Went to the grocery store today and the landscaping guy was planting Impatients in the big plant pots that line the sidewalk.... I said "Wow" he said "getting ready for the holidays"
when I left he was watering each one with a dipped bucket of water from a trash can on wheels....
San Diego county has Flowers as one of its major industries. Carlesbad used to be our main greenhouse industry. Most of the poinsettias you see in stores will be grown right here. And they grow outside here if protected from frost.
