Pauline, Stetson is a Sheltie. Not quite oversize, but bigger than the average sheltie. Poor Monty really looks cranky, but he is just a big teddy bear. Loves to be picked up and cuddled and usually sleeps right up beside Moe's head on his pillow. And of the three of them, Monty is the "talker". He is very good at making letting you know what he wants. Especially at about 2:00 Am when he decides that he wants to go out side. The yard at this house was cat proofed by the original owners. Monty and Beau never leave the yard. Unfortunately,Abby is smarter than they are and she figured out how to get out of the yard within the first 15 minutes the first time she went out there. Ann

WW, with all due respect to the rest of the lovely gang, Stetson's always been my favorite. And why does Monty always look like his well-plotted world domination went awry? Such an angry young feline. ;-) Sol

How large is your rooted cutting of Endless Summer? I grew this hydrangea when I lived in TX and really liked it. I can offer you one of the following roses: Prairie Harvest, Lion's Fairy Tale, or Crocus Rose; some of them are full size plants that I can cut back for shipping. You can see them on this website: helpmefind.com/roses. I also have some miniature roses, if that interests you. John

My favorite grapes in Alpine Texas are Flame, Summer Royal, Summer Muscat, Princess, and Crimson. To me Jupiter is spit out bad but some here thought it OK. My favorite hardy seedless are Canadice and Glenora but the fruit falls short of the favorites listed. Summer Muscat is by far the best tasting grape I've grown but it has small berries and they crack. Still you should try the Muscat flavor. Summer Royal is a very good grape for flavor, berry size, and yield. It makes sensational raisins. But it's very susceptible to powdery mildew. That aliment has only shown up the last couple of yrs. Powdery mildew resistance is the only reason I see to plant the hardy seedless you list.
