[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by John Busby Hi Capt Carrales That looks to be one well thought out acorn cant wait to see what the oak tree looks like. It's a lot greener that I thought it would be ( probably me watching to many westerns) The size doesn't matter its the pleasure it brings you and your family that counts Mine is only 30' X 10" at the moment and gives me a great deal of pleasure in construction, play time and dreams that are far out of proportion to its small current size. SWMBO enjoys trying to find the impossable suitable plants for the line and has the odd idea that some times helps. So it might just as well be one of those massive empires you some times see in GR mag it gives me the same pleasure those guys get out of there monster size lines no reason your line cannot do the same for you. regards John [/quote] Thanks John, For the kind words and sentiments. The line will be growing but all in good time (and money) I've even begun to sell tomatoes and produce in the neighborhood from my limited garden to pay for improvements. I like the idea of taking it slow...everything in some sort of stage. As for the color (colour?), yes, things are much browner than they appear. This section of the lawn is watered regulary...plus we have had rain. The rest of the layout's future grades are as dry as any western you have ever seen. Also, remmeber that Texas is very large...Eastern Texas was part of the OLD SOUTH and someparts resemble the swamps and forests of Louisiana. West Texas is all you could imagine about dry and arid. I have a hard time with the "desert grasses," since they have adapted to arid conditions, they grow fast and intrusively when given water. It will be a fight all winter to remove this weed from the "Plantation areas" and replace it all with St Agustine.
