them when I "thought" they were flowers and now that I knew they were going to
kill all the other plants, since I needed all the luck I could get, well they
had to be destroyed. Needless to say the other plants died soon thereafter.
Rhonda - who was recently given an aloe plant and told there was virtually
nothing I could do to kill it...well it's dead.

i always believed a weed is just a flower out of place. Sounds to me that that
flower had a place.
have some things that look great in my yard. that I retrieved in ditches and
so forth and many people come get them from me like the staghorn fern. It
grows every where in ditches(funny looking trees with ugly brown cone
looking things) i keep em trimmed and my neibor and I built a wall around
them many people come to get the new growth and are amazed they are in the
ditches. There are ferns that they sell in walmart for 10.00 I giggle every
time i se people pay 10.00 for them as they are the same ones you see in most
tree lines people would let you dig if you ask.
You want a plant hard to kill try yucca plant I have dug it up gave it away
every year for 15 years finely gave up and lol it died the next year Finley
died.I have a lot of friens who have those homes people tour for the flower
gardens (inc. my next door neibor) They tell me the secret is lots of hosta's
and getting the off spring plant from others. This helps me as I am dirt poor.

hey any one need peonies? will be digging up around 100 plants this fall

My very dear friend who gave me the aloe, was shocked when she came by and
saw it. We were looking thru several plant books for things that would do well
in my climate and would require little participation by me. The bummer to me
is, I really want to interact with the plants. Shockingly, the 3 new palms Phil
bought me for my birthday in March are actually thriving. We have decided they
must feel sorry for me and no one lets me near them unless I just want to
"talk" to the trees.
Then the thought of cactus plants came up and they said if I go that route I
should remove the Palms!!! I understand from an artist landscape eye that
theory, but I refuse to move the palms that are actually living and growing, in
spite of belonging to me!!!
