Lamar, I need to experience your garden one of these days. I just finished grading exams and getting the final grades turned in, so am getting ready for summer vacation. Unfortunately got hit with a stomach bug just as I was finishing up and it doesn't seem to want to go away. This sudden summer heat is not helping. I need to get out and start weeding and mulching because the rain and heat are making the weeds take over. Great to see another croton I had not seen before, no matter whether it is Hoppie or Hopple Street.
