Re: Nor Cal Flooding

Long before I ever got into Astronomy, I was doing gardening. If I can't
make something grow it just can't grow at all. I have a garden area ( not
all used ) in the field next door that's at lest 100ft x 150ft and I have at
lest 200+ Iris and 100+ I.Canna growing plus my Bamboo patch too. I've
thrown a lot of BS over the long years. As a kid when we lived in West L.A.
I helped tent to some 200 Rose's my folks had growing around the land we
lived on.
