[at-l] OT question for RnR

[GoVolsKelly at aol.com (GoVolsKelly@aol.com)]

NOW YOU TELL ME!  I spent a good hour and a half transplanting the durn 
things!  

Oh well.  Next month I'll just plant them directly in the ground.

And I was told pineapples grow like weeds, so I bought a few.  Died.  I 
thought my green thumb turned gangrene.  I once killed a hibiscus, which, as you 
know, is impossible to kill in Florida.  

I'm having a LOT of luck with my passion flower vine.  I planted it the day 
we moved in here, and it just produces the bestest smelling blooms ever!  It's 
nearly covered the fence in the front yard.  And the butterflies it attracts!  
Amazing!

Most of my orchids are in the orange tree, and the moss is for stability 
purposes only.  

How about cucumbers?  I've got those in pots, but want to transplant those as 
well.  Is that a no-no too?

I'm adverse to pesticides, and want a completely organic garden, so I planted 
marigolds and some wild garlic smelling grass all around the vegetables, and 
I have no more of those icky, white, ghost looking bugs eating my veggies.  
I'm drying the dead marigolds to replant for the next crop.  Amazing things, 
those marigolds.  

And don't even talk to me about weeding!  How is it that my lawn has brown 
spots but the grass grows like gangbusters in the garden?  I hate that Bermuda 
grass!  

My next project is roses, which I hear is only for masochists, especially in 
Florida.  Any luck with those, RnR?

Thanks for the tips.
