Re: Russian sage

No I don't have Russian sage.  I have an annual lantana that has come back
three years running though.  It's in the foundation bed by the garage.  Also
annual sage - just plain kind, that stays green all winter.  both get bigger
each year.  Go figure!?

Wish I could remember that poem about why plants die.  Something like "You
watered too much, you watered not enough..."
