Re: Beaufort update

GROAN! I could've just screamed. Fortunately, it was a pretty decent size
with a decent size rootball. I planted it right by my garden gate so I can
see the flowers. I'm going to lime it so I know it will stay pink, but of
course now I'm too afraid to touch it. Don't want to traumatize it anymore.
