X, why did you wait so long to tell us about Pyola. :) Well doesn't matter now as I've ordered my Forbid and just pray it lives up to its claims. We gardeners work very hard to have beautiful flowers, spend a lot of money on fertilizers, soil conditioners, various sprays, in addition to the plant material. When I'm in the garden I want to see beauty, not death, and that what my garden visitors expect. Some of the real crusty ones will tell you this or that needs spraying if they see the slightest problem. No, these are not my friends, but people who are allowed in via one of my charity garden tours. So far, approx. 850 people have toured this year and it is becoming increasingly difficult to look good with all the bugs eating away the garden. Have to show you something cute my rusty iron friend brought to me several weeks ago. After thinking about it for several days, I decided to site it at the exit of my garden. In the old days of open English gardens, a pot was set at the exit in hopes people would leave a coin or two. My sense of humor always seems to be turned on, so I sat a pot on the top hand. Have not thought about it since placing it there,but today my sweetheart came inside howling his head off. In the pot was $2.85 cents.
