I thought of your backyard as I was planting annuals in beds around my daughter's house as she lists it for sale...no jungle to deal with but even getting it to look presentable has taken time and effort. Hope the passion flower is portable.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448211798237937246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-25312949860398133642014-06-13T14:13:12.231-05:002014-06-13T14:13:12.231-05:00Lovely!

(Well, up until now, anyway. :) )<br /><br />Good luck tracing that vine back to its roots! Our neighbors in Florida have a passionflower vine and it's always pretty. They do kind of take over, though.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-15156124233173750782014-06-12T14:33:16.178-05:002014-06-12T14:33:16.178-05:00WHAT!!!

I would be reluctant to disturb it, must house many small animals...snakes...bugs...and fairies. Good luck, dearest, on your new turned page!

They brought goats in to eat the underbrush by Congressional Cemetery last year. They were so cute and by god they cleared out everything. They even ate the poison ivy which they say is not a problem for goats.<br /><br />Next best: Mark with a weed whacker.<br /><br />This is a big rite of passage for you, Ellen. It's all for the good but this is big. I'm sending a lot of supportive love in your direction, just because I feel like it.
