Glad the rain helped, SoCal. I do believe that half the fun is the anticipation!
Liz it sounded like you did get some things done. Hopefully if it all thaws out you will be able to get those other chores done.
I have tried foxgloves only in the shade and in the drier areas. You might be able to grow them, Liz in a dry shade in your land.
They are certainly worth the effort!
