they dried up overnight. They are crunch twigs today and none of the seed pods have any seeds in them to speak of. Anyone have any idea what happened?

I think your right Mary. I just worry cause I can't soak them like they should be. Definitely top of my list next month is the soaker hose. No way can I keep them watered through August if it's like it usually is here.

I did mulch this year, thanks to my landlord being willing to pick up 3 bags of mulch for me at the store. The only things that didn't get their fare share were the portulaca, calendrum, carnations and tomatoes. The tomatoes didn't get any because they were an emergency plant and by then I was out of mulch and the others didn't get any because I thought they didn't like mulch lol. I'm forever getting information wrong. Hopefully I get it right next year.

Good luck. They are such shy little things. Did I send you some of the red and yellow for next year? I can't remember anything.

oh if my ex-husband could see that line lol

snap dragon queens - hehehehehe

Even my sponsor would be rolling on the floor laughing at that one.
