I will keep you all posted on how this works out. So far, only LITTLE
BLUE SPARKLER is unhealthy. It did very well in Kentucky, but it does not
appear to like Florida, at least so far. The soil here is fertile, and is
acidic enough for Azaleas and Camellias.
Yesterday was hot, but nice with a high of 88 F, or about 31 C. Today
was 80 F, or 27 C for the high, but a dry front has since moved through.
