      Bob can grow anything and make it look great.

      I sent Bob some cuttings off of my African Violets a few years ago he posted a pic of one of my favorites. His looks better than mine ever looked.

      I give Gary more credit than myself. Not only can he grow beautiful plants he has an eye for arranging and decorating with them too. I do not have that ability. Squeek is the whole enchilada.

      I agree Bob! He is also such a good cook I bet he can make a mean enchilada

      African Violets like filtered light. I grow mine in a West Window with sheers cutting down on the sun. They can do better with too little water than too much. I water mine every two weeks in the winter a little more the rest of the year. Every once in a while I give them some miracle grow.

      PS. I have big windows with lots of light. That makes a big difference. If Gary had my windows no telling what he would be growing. I know it would be better than mine.

      I use to have a bunch of African Violets. Then the kids came along
      and I let them die. (the violets, not the kids )

      Gary needs his own garden center or to work in one.
