I'm back from a trip to GA where I've been for the past 3 weeks, helping the clients that I still have down there.

Who would believe that 3 weeks would make such a difference? The peas that had just begun blooming are pretty much through. There was huge patches of dodder in the mountain garden. Dodder is a parasitic plant that grows as threads that wrap around everything and feed off the plants that it climbs. To remove dodder requires pulling everything that it is on. Any little pieces of dodder left behind become more infestation.

I'm still sleeping in my truck down there, the Yonderfamily still hasn't made things right with me, I'm still evicted from the house I built while buying in. They haven't compensated me one dime for my 15 years of continous hard work, investing every dime I made, keeping my client list short so that I could spend most of my time building my homestead. They claim that they want people to homestead!

I heard a report that one family was finally "allowed" back in the house they built, after their place had been ransacked. I hear that the entire 100 acres has been timbered. I had stands of pine that I'd been maintaining for the production of pine straw. I think that cutting everything down rather than investing a little work to create a continuing income is typical of the criminally short view they took in throwing people out of their homes, claiming that they were building community.

I've been working on my site, added a rudimentary style sheet, changed the look of my nav bar, & spent some time working on the look of the garden forum. I posted a Louisanna Iris page as well.


I've been asked to be moderator at the Webmaster Forums, that's kind of neat.

The Louisianna iris are through blooming, the daylillies are in full bloom now. I've been growing daylillies from seed, it's very exciting to see the new colours. I took a patch of my rescued daylilly seedlings to a client last year, those looked very nice too.
