seeds yesterday evening, I saw a kid a cross the street talking to the neighbors. He appeared to be 17-18yo, and it looked like he was trying to sell them something. When he was done with them, he walked down to the next house.

I just finished collecting seeds from the cypress vines, and just as he came by my house I came out from under the palm tree where the cypress vines are.

To make a long story short, he introduced himself, told me he was selling magazines, and the one who collected the most points wins a trip to Cancun. Asked if I can help him, so I asked if he has a bonsai mag serie on one of his lists. He told me no, but there are a few gardening mags, then he added that those are GIRLIE magazines!!

He stood between two flower beds, and behind me is another bed with dahlias, glads, and a few tropicals.

Gardening magazines are girlie magainzes!!! Well let just say his total points didn't not increase, I didn't buy anything from him. :)

Tim, you should have put him to work so he could see how easy it is to keep a garden!

Tim
In Knoxville, which is near us, there was a man selling magazines with a group. He went into a woman's house and killed her in broad daylight!! Just be careful because you never know what these people are up to.
