Re: plants for DRY, semi-shade

Barbara - if your sister needs any help adjusting (Jesse did when she
moved here) give her my e-mail address. When Jesse moved here from KC
she called this gardening in hell!! Really. I have a one way metro line
(I can call Dallas for free) if she wants my number - contact me OFF
list, I'll give it to you to give to her.
