Questions & Comments

Just had to tell you they are already popping up. I placed them in fresh potting soil under grow light box my son made me. And when I went down to check them I had to come up and find you to let you know - THEY ARE PEEKING their heads out! YEA! I have been over to my sons and we have places for all of them! Thank you so MUCH! Tammy

Man, that is great. It would be wonderful if you could put that in some of the crepe myrtle auctions that I have and will have. I am so proud of them. They will be beautiful no matter where you put them. How long have they been in soil? Did you germinate them first? By the way, I want to thank you again for saying what you said about me in that comment for one of the crepe myrtle listings. I was on a high horse all week. You are terrific letting me know this. Thank you again.

No I din't germinate them first this time - funny I did with 80% of all myplants I did this Spring. I started them on the 28th two days after receiving them. So it only took what 4 days in my grow box. I have it set up on a timer so they get 16 hours of sun-light. I just can not wait for them to get over 3" inches. I will keep you posted if you'd like. And as far as what I said about you as a Listian (Seller) is ALL TRUE! You are WONDERFUL! Tammy

You did a good job. I am even surprised they sprouted so quickly. Yes, keep me posted on how they are doing. I appreciate the compliments you have given me. You will enjoy them. They are as breath taking in person as they are in pictures. I promise you will enjoy the fact that you don't have to spend alot of time pruning and caring for them. Just let them do what they do. Take care.
