Re: More on dry shade
Well Gerry,
Most of my so-called plans are of the breaking the rules mode..... my
guidelines are pretty vague most of the time. I mostly try to imitate what I
observe in the local woods. No great feat there..... god seems to have it all down
pretty pat... so I just run around trying to copy.
