I noted what Joan said about the yucca plants in Shelburne County.  Here in
Wolfville I know a few people who have several yucca plants that seem to do
well in terms of overwintering and flowering year after year, but don't know
about their welfare elsewhere in the province.....?

Cheers from Jim

It was gorgeous in Shelburne county this weekend....

I was interested to see the *Yucca* plants so healthy in Donna's yard.
How far north do they winter over, I wonder?  The Cosmos there were
still blooming, and near Welshtown Lake I found Tansy plants starting to
grow again.

Also near Welshtown Lake this afternoon a *Red-bellied Snake* was
freshly killed by a vehicle.

Last night I enjoyed a treat of wild* mushrooms *(Boletus edulis). Many
Lactaria were also evident, but I found none of the Delicious Lactarius.
 
Cheers, Joan
