Default and the madness spreads

Hi all. My hubby just got back from Home Depot. Among all his "guy" stuff was a potted zebrina. And now we have two. Four weeks ago he didn't want any but accepted my Siam Ruby when I brought it home. Hmmm, me thinks he may be catching on.

I also had picked up a nice little Zebrina at HD a few weeks ago for $9 I think. It's doing and looking great! The 3rd banana plant is the kicker; once you all hit 3 you're done for and might just as well start digging the new bed!

There are probably another 15 callouses just out of site! :P SR is as wacky as SDC, when it comes to pupping.
Face it, you're hooked and will be watching the things grow from here on out.

Don't joke about that! I just tilled up a nice lil' banana patch this week. I planted about 200 lil' Maurelii real close and plan to spread them out after I get my other rows made up. The land behind the patch is planted heavily with figs, pomegranate, and feijoa (pineapple guava).
You may not be able to see much......it was darker than I thought when I shot this video.
