Elaine,
Yup, internet comes back after the storms pass. We got ours early today. Rain gauge overflowing, so at least 2 in. Everything is so soggy, including me !
I hope this is not a sign of things to come. It was like this in the summer of "04" before the hurricanes.

In one way I wouldn't mind if the storms came thru late at night or early morning, except for all the lighting. Horses go out at night cause it's cooler. So they have been up during these storms. I'd be a nervous wreck worrying about one getting hit by lighting.

P. Gloriosum is in a pot. I bought one of those fake 1/2 barrels. It's actually a little shorter depth wise, but has the width. I put Styrofoam in the bottom to take up some space.
I had looked and looked for a swallower WIDE pot but couldn't find what I wanted. Anyway Gloriosum really likes to spread, and it took off after I put it in there. It's just about hit the edges of the pot, ( 22 in. wide pot) so I'm hoping I can somehow turn it or maybe it will be happy creeping over the edges ? Shrug! I fertilize with Jack's 20/20/20, either 1/2 strength or with all this rain I may do a full strength.
God gave us wings. He just called them horses
