George, this certainly is the reverse of usual, ain't it?
Yer usually drowning. But actually, I'd love to do that if I
get dibs on new starts if mine expire from 2 months in the
swamp. You should see this stunning T. praecox arcticus 'White
Moss'. Now that winter is over, it has become a light emerald
green mat. That was one of my new ones. I have a few of the
gold & silver variegated ones that are looking really peaked,
too. The difficulty is I'm afraid if I try to dig in the muck
(as I sink into it ankle-deep) I'll do more damage than good.
So I'm going to try to wait until some of the water has
receeded.
If you'd really like to do this, please let me know.

I know. I feel awful about this. Daviddd is not even planting
his main crops in Arkansas because he can't withstand 2
consecutive years of drought and he can't irrigate the 50 or so
acres. I wish we could run a pipline from here to there for you
all.
