Holy Hell that Robusta is happy 😯 The leaves are MASSIVE! May I suggest trying Fargesia Scabrida? Its the same Idea as the Robusta, but with steel blue culms!
I neve understood why they called Jersey "the garden state", untill I seen your yard mike. Keep it up!

Thanks guys. It is a banner year for gardening. Everything is huge, I am easily getting two large trash cans of pruning from trees, vines and shrubs every week...Insane!

Well, we are still down about 4 inches for the 90 day, but getting caught up slowly....In my opinion though, there is never enough rain!!!

We had about an inch of rain but it always seems to miss my town for some reason....We are south west of Philly and it always seems to dry up when it hits the city, and peter out by the time it reaches us

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
