Re: It's winter garden time

Oh, I give you lots of credit, Andrea.  I didn't mean for the remark to come
across callous.  When you wrote "no trees", I thought you meant you had
none.  Yes, they're small when you plant them and they take years to get the
height you want, but you have to plant them if they're ever going to get
there.  Your complaint must have meant that you've planted but you're
waiting for the height.
