Man is it hot! :huh: I have a three day weekend to get these 34 crotons in the ground. I am encountering alot of rock. :angry: Regretting that I did not road trip to Tampa today, big plant sale at the University of Florida. The International Croton Society has a booth to raise funds. Alot of rare, unusual and hard to find cultivars were donated by their members for sale in the booth. Crotons have recently had a big resurgency in popularity. Despite the scale outbreak, crotons are being sought after and nurseries that specialize in them have realized a jump in sales.

Back to work! :(

They all got planted and then some additional cultivars. I think I may be up to 66 different ones now. Then the

cold weather beat the crap out of them. Well at least it killed all of the croton scale as well. Some budding is

happening with the warming of the weather. Hopefully we will have an exposion of color to share in 30 days. Need to start

pushing them with water soluble fertilizers! drool.gif

The moose is loose in the Spring! wacko.gif

Crotons are a must for me, picked some up and am in the process of positioning, you know, pot placement, see how it looks, maybe change them, then when I'm happy, into the earth for colour birth.
