Great choice of primary venue! Unfortunately, 30-March not too good for me; 6-April would be better.

A short memorial service and celebration of life will be held for Perry Edge at 2 pm on Saturday 19-January 2019 at his home. Address is: 1804 Bayou Grande Blvd, NE Zip 33703. Please RSVP to me through the board so I can give Karen a head count. The house has been sold and she will be...

I suspect that the care (regular fertilization and supplemental watering when needed) makes a big difference. Any of the green croton scale down there?

How much money are we talking about to keep this croton forum alive and well?
