You're obviously very talented. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Vivé</B>,<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on the excitement level of meeting everyone and seeing their gardens next week. :-)<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen many azaleas in my area. No doubt they aren't real fond of the limestone shelf under the thin soil.

I'm so excited about next weekend's get together.<BR/><BR/>It's going to be a lot of fun to see how your garden develops. I took a gardening class from two folks who lived up that way, and they'd even managed to grow azaleas (with LOTS of effort) up Vivéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12008663892410928568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531989186587247129.post-11105634933519664642007-04-13T14:02:00.000-05:002007-04-13T14:02:00.000-05:00Thanks for the garden compliment, Dawn, but rememb...Thanks for the garden compliment, Dawn, but remember that my blog shows an edited and cropped version of my garden.

His corner lot is inspiring, but from what I've seen on your blog it doesn't hold a candle to your garden. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Susan,</B><BR/><BR/>You're right, it really is amazing that such big trees can do so well with such thin soil. I'm not sure how they manage it.

That's a good sign! <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531989186587247129.post-16456727935560395592007-04-12T17:00:00.000-05:002007-04-12T17:00:00.000-05:00Hey Dawn — Those are some great looking live oaks ...Hey Dawn — Those are some great looking live oaks in your neighborhood. I'm always amazed that they can live on that limestone.<BR/><BR/>I have the name of that wildflower on the tip of my brain but I can't quite get it.
