Very Nice Program! FYI..You can Winter Sow native perennials until the end of February. Use a "Garden Marker" that does not fade! Also water your jugs periodically.

So is dammed water upstream good or is it bad? As I'm watching this, there are dams being removed in many states across the country, mostly under the pretense that they are "bad," and that the environment will be "better" without them.
