Penny Carnathan
Penny’s a Nurture And Hold (NAH): Nah, I won’t pull that out yet, it’s still got a green shoot. She likes dragonflies, lady bugs and new stuff only after weeding, pruning and fertilizing.
Kim Franke-Folstad
Kim’s a Want It Now (WIN): Everything pretty, everything now. She will resort to full-spectrum insecticides in desperate situations, and believes it’s her duty and right to buy new plants every weekend.
Both advocate Plant Choice (SOMEthing besides crotons. Please!), lots of color and low maintenance. We don’t agree on everything, but we’re smart enough to learn from each other - and from you.

Just one more—a broken promise of glorious angel trumpet blooms

I know I promised my next post would be something not so sad, but I had to share this photo of Janice Vogt’s angel trumpet tree.
All those blooms cut short, just as they were about to open. What a sorrowful sight.
I hope the tree survives, Janice! What a beauty.

oh boy——I surely hate seeing such a sad sight. Hopefully that is a seriously established tree that will survive and thrive past all this mess. My best to you and your tree, Janice.
