Barb,
I didn't get to many gardens at all, too much family stuff to do. I did go
to worlds of fun, and was very impressed with some of their plants. They
had banana plants outside, and my cousin said they have a big green house
and people that just deal with the plants. I found a cool fern and should
have gotten some of those berries on the plant to try to grow. Maybe next
time.
