Nice rain gauge but kinda big, so you'd have to blow the dust out of it more often . . . .
Ronni, according to my Botanica, Star Magnolia lives in zones 5 through 9. There are also pink cultivars of it, so if you want white, make sure it...
I spent every day last week getting the vegetable gardens planted. My dear husband gave the two big gardens and the seasonal garden a quick till,...
