Re: [SG] astilbe question
Many thanks to all who contributed their help re.my Astible questions..It
really did help me to know where best to place this newbie come spring.
Here in the arid west,save the coastal areas( and particularly where I'm at in
high desert)where irrigation is the rule it will be a 'better fit',
I sometimes envy the east, as nature provides so much of your water
needs.Hence your beautiful trees and woodlands, this area is largely Sage
brush and cheat grass..But thats ok,with your counsel I will expand on my
oasis.
Everybody is noticeable, anxiously planning for the new growing season ,isnt
is wonderful.?Non-gardeners dont know how renewing it is,its hard to imagine
life without this wonderful rite of spring and beyond.
Regards,
Connie
