Rick, thanks for the compliment. I just went back and re-read my post. But did you see? I called bulblets offsets! Tired, I guess. Yeah, I see the cracks you're talking about at my farm in west central WI Z4. in hot, dry weather. Can't water--it runs right down the cracks. Winter surely brings it back to a nice condition by spring, doesn't it!
Chris--thanks also. Check your Tree Mail in a couple hours for a personal note.
