    Key's Magic

    Awsome news Jerry about being in Houston. You and Brenda are now a lot further South than Indiana. We can't wait to see you again in the Keys. And to think that you are halfway here. Moose, my favorite Bertie Higgin's song is Just Another Day in Paradise. I think of that when I hit the...

    A Judy Glock Croton

    Since I have retired, I have decided to learn how (I hope) to put some pictures of my wife's crotons on the forum. Judy has been growing some new seedlings for several years. Some are really starting to look good. I am going to attempt to post a picture of her Orange Crush. Wish me luck.

    Searching for "Pixie Abilene"

    The secret garden of Jerry Shilling

    Jerry is having a sport of a Captian Gilbert Cutler that has ruffled leaves like a "Pie Crust". If they color up, they could be awesome.

    The secret garden of Jerry Shilling

    Last weekend Judy and I went over to Summerland Key to visit Jerry Shilling and his amazing croton collection. I took some pictures of Jerry's plants.

    Airlayer rootball

    Moose mix up some of the watersoluable firtilizer in a hose end sprayer. Spray the heads that you have air layerd. The water with the fertilizer will seep into your rootball and the roots will just explode. Also when we cut our air layers we soak them "foil and all" in a bucket of water for...
