      My favorite part of this thread is to watch and try and figure out what Delbert has envisioned in the end.

      I follow along and often times have no idea where the project is going.... and then to watch it come together
      I'm in awe.

      It all started in the early 80s on a plumbing job . We dug up a nice rock and a brought it home .
      After that for years I would go on rock trips on winter weekends . I would pull a trailer up into the hills 15 min away and pick them up along the gravel roads .

      I just keep the plan in my head so I could change it .

      Delbert, greetings my fellow plumber. Lol. I’ve been bringing rocks home for years from new house construction. When they dig a basement, all kinds of choice rocks come out of the ground. I have a huge pile out back of my barn. I’m trying to figure out what to do with the rest of them in the landscape.

      Looks like a nice choice of Taro. I have Regal Shields growing inside this winter.

      Beautiful. Love the little black poodle. My red maples are leafed out but I don't have opened blooms on the dogwoods yet.

      It’s a strange spring . I haven’t seen any growth on any outside taro yet .
      The tub is full of Mickey Mouse, they all sprouted from the fat white roots I cut off the main plants last fall .
      I kept the tub shut all winter I just noticed the leaves yesterday .

      Thanks Nancy ... I put a little doggie door in for Lucy she won’t leave me alone in the yard any more .
      My dog woods seem to be a few weeks early this year.

      Thats a lot of mickey mouse. have not noticed any outside banana or taro, I dont think any of my cannas will come back after those 4 degree days, all of my sedum survived and I am glad about that. Most of my tall phlox in the pots came back and thats a great thing. I am ready too start getting this stuff out of the house but its going too be really wet and cool for a bit.

      Delbert that strip of those is about 60 foot long 3 or 4 foot wide. they are wild. I think they are just a species colocasia
      esculenta.
