Hi Fellow Growers;
Just came in from the garden to tell you that BABOON BOTTOM just
bloomed, so I had to take a whiff. Neither David nor myself find it at
all offensive. It has a faint (and I DO mean faint) musty odor, but
nothing that would bother me either in the house or in the confines of a
car on a long trip. Maybe that is simply the way it behaves in Oregon.
Let's hear from some other areas, and compare notes.
Nancy Silverberg,
Molalla, OR Zone 8. Dare I say wishing for a teeny tiny bit of rain
overnight just to save me having to do the watering??
