Plant 'maters and get Moonflower seeds. I should be able to do that.

Some say that nicking the hard seed coat will aid in a speedier
germination. Tried that. It works, but is a major PITA.

Soaking overnight in water is effective.

I let them rot for awhile in large pots. Then Transfer.



Frogs indeed we have. When we had the koi pond, a bullfrog took up
residence. Pond went by the wayside as maintenence required lots of
knee time and that wasn't working so well.

I drove in metal rods to hold on to about the pond. Serious rods three
of them. This after a sculpture I was holding onto gave in while trying
to rescue a large koi. Not nice or safe.


Peeper frogs of some sort live in the creek and serenade us from
spring to fall and and we always have several tree frogs. Which are a
boon to our mini-ecosystem, but when the tree frogs are feeling
amorous they are the loudest and most annoying thing I have ever had
in the garden, self included.

Sometimes I can't stand it any longer and get the hose and long range
nozzle and start blasting around in the trees until he shuts up, but
it is never for long.

We have all sort of sounds here peeper are quiet compared to some.

Four of my boys friends, and a couple that are close to me, are stuck
in that hellhole as we speak. One of them just had a child, and he is
not even in country to be with his family. Everyday they are in my
thoughts.

I think of them as soccer guys I coached. I thought we learned better
but it seems national tragedy blinds us all. The image of towers
.....the image of people...enough.

To life, to love, to caring
Prost!
