When I used to bag the clippings, I gave them to my neighbor for
mulch. He has a lot of trees and some real nice Islands in the
lawn. I have two flower beds that are mostly Canna Lillies.
It's about time I weeded them and did something about some 
mulch of my own.

Boy. Up in Boston, I used to have big bushy plants with tons of
fruit. These things are all spindly and leggy. I only get about
1 tomato a day. I started off giving them liquid fertilizer, but
now they're lucky if they get water. I guess this sandy "soil"
doesn't provide enough nutrients. I'm surprised anything grows
in it. I'll mix up some blue water today.

Ah.... I haven't seen many new taglines lately. Any ideas what 
causes the birdbath water to turn so RED?
