Gordo... Well...giving them up is one way.. but if you have personal weight concerns... hefting a160 pound [72.7k.] plant on ones shoulders.. [ slightly more than my bodyweight ] and then climb or descend a15' ladder ..oh you really need one hand for the ladder too.. but at 57 you might understand that already.. be careful.. as giving up the moving and lifting is no way to keep it keeping trim ..[ use it and loose it ] and after [ and or before] such an overweight move.. you too might be looking for some self medication homegrown or otherwise.. I just ordered my Jade vine yesterday... [ from Logees] that's the old persons vine right ... well I hope to keep it from freezing here..I just love it's coloration .. how big do they get for you there.. Oh..Gordo... I've sent a research party into GulfPort..a real lovely city..in hopes of relocating the garden there... from your posts.. it seems like it might be a wee bit too far north to be worry free... do the tropicals have to come inside for you there usually..
Erick..well thanks... I do keep things and tropicals alive and growing.. through out the winter.. as I have no cool place for dormantcy... I don't necessarly reccomend this for the faint of heart or body..but I suffer no seperation blues from the gardening.. only twice the work as they need outside..
PICTURED IS THE SECOND INSIDE BLOOM FROM CLEARSKYS.. the martch is on
All the best there... Gordon
