Re: Nursery

I'd take you in Pam. But I have the feeling you'd rather live under a Texas bridge than inside in Indiana. ;+)

I'm so glad your sister was there for you.  My brother wouldn't take me in

Hi Cyndi. Yep, got the Sunset Western Garden book [also got Sunset's
National Garden book--not nearly as good]. I've been lugging the Western
book around most of my adult life. It was one of the text books in a hort
class I took once at El Camino CC. Indispensable reference.

it's not merely learning new things that's good for the brain, it's
challenging it. Crossword puzzles and chess games are good for you, too. But the Oregon garden will surely be a rewarding challenge in that department.
