Hi all,

 

While browsing around my pots tonight I noticed an amazing number of
ones that had the top layer of soil washed away with the seeds exposed
in the formation I had planted them.  I really hadn't noticed this
before and it only occurs in certain pots.  The soil mix looks much
different than that of the others but I haven't confirmed that through
my notes.  I think someone brought this issue to my attention last fall
but had never had that happen before.  Any thoughts or comments?

 

Botanically,
