Hello all!  I have a few questions. #1 I don't know how to fill in my profile.  I can't seem to open it.  #2 Can plants get wind burn?  Both my persian shields and my sweet potato vines look absolutely wrecked.  It hasn't been hot yet, and they have been watered.  #3 "they" say to cut back your mums three times by the 4th of July, but how far back?  Do you just top them, or really cut them down.  Would appreciate any answers.  I work  7 days a week and was really looking forward to the half day today.  I closed my store at noon and at least I had 3 hours of nice weather before the rain started.  Hopefully it will clear in a little bit and I can get back out and enjoy what I planted yesterday.  Thanks for any help you can give.

Wally

Hello New Friends!   I did join a year ago and have enjoyed reading all your entries, but this is my first post.  Working 7 days a week, I find it hard to fit in all the things I would like to do, but decided joining in here is a priority.  Still chilly here in upstate NY, but I did plant my containers today.  While everyone else here has seen the first hummingbirds, I have missed them all.  But soon my regulars should be here.  Thanks for all the good tips and wonderful pictures!  Wally
