i waited 55 minutes at stonegate gardens yesterday for the frontloade to get fixed so i could get the load of mulch that i paid for. if i knew the frontloader was broken i would not have bought mulch.......the load only got to the middle bed, and only part of that. it will surely take another 2-3 loads to finish up. this load really smelled like a hog farm....scrary.....andrew asked at supper what mulch is made from. stephan replied 'old growth forests'. he said that the most expensive mulch would be made from boards pulled out of historic homes, like mt vernon. i would prefer to mulch with ground up $100 bills.....

my first rose is blooming- stanwell perpetual has one tiny blossom- noticed on 4/20/02. that may be a record for us.
