Hiya Raquel,

Nice to meet you and your meticulous blog, so full of sound information.

I still can’t get used to Americans calling ‘soil’ ‘dirt’, even though we lived amongst you for almost a decade. Look at your lovely soil, particularly the stuff you have built up so nicely: dirt? No, surely
not 😉

Thanks Joco, nice meeting you too. I’m glad you like my blog. I actually call it both, but you’re right that beautiful stuff I’ve been putting down is definitely not dirt. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

  Hello Southerngardener,
  
  Thanks for stopping by, glad you’ve enjoyed reading my blog. The white flower heading my blog is a Peruvian Daffodil. I found the bulbs locally at Lowe’s for a good price this spring. I think it’s beautiful too. 🙂
