Hey
I actually transplanted two five foot burning bushes in late July heat from the north side of my house to the south side. They are now over ten feet tall. The birds love them and they turn that bright red in the fall which being on the northside did not change color.I will have to look up...
I am quite aware of cat food issues,one almost killed my first cat. That is still with me. I never by a product from that company ever and that is my choice. The FDA and AAFCO took forty years to get that ingredient out of pet food. The wheels move very slowly. Some folks here can tell you I am...
