Easy vine ID
Comments (43)Dzitmoidonc, I like the idea of chicken wire between poles. I'm looking forward to growing this vine! And that picture of a butterfly drying it's wings… I saw the exact same butterfly today, dead. Leafhead, I just realized I missed your question regarding Cassia. I have seeds for Candlestick (Cassia alata), Winter Cassia (Senna bicapsularis), Golden Shower/ chain Tree (Cassia fistula), Pink Shower/Pink Lady (Cassia javanica). Purple, remember I don't know any local gardeners personally. I've seen Butterfly Bush in St. Augustine, but it's part of their garden tour thing. I've seen it behind people's fences, and I wish I were a door-knocker plant-beggar, but I'm just not. They're not a pest as far as I can tell, they're just sorta scarce. Emailed regarding trade!...See MoreConfessions...
Comments (36)1. I buy stuff for my garden, hide it away from my husband, and when he asks about a bill from walmart, lowes, etc I tell him it was for the kids. 2. When I plant edibles I imagine I am planting an investment for when or if the economy ever goes to heck and I am the only one on my block with a source of food! 3. I plant edibles I would not eat unless my life depended on it because the seeds were on sale,free, or traded. 4. I have daydreams of taking a chainsaw to my neighbors mangrove trees because their roots are invasive to my yard and I'm sick of blowing the leafs back into theirs with the feeling that I am wrong. 5. I buy cheap flowers and mostly let them rot so I can reuse the seed trays they came in, all the while telling my husband that the flowers are for the kids to plant for an educational lesson. Meanwhile I give the kids other tasks to stay away from my precious garden. Okay so I know my husband has read my sinful list if I should wake up and discover my garden razed, but at least someone might get a laugh and if not that then perhaps I will get some hate mail....See MoreLubber Grasshoppers in Jacksonville Area?

Comments (9)I'll get my scissors or pruners and cut the head off, if it's in the foliage where I can't step on it. Stepping on it in the mulch or lawn only dazes him and he'll jump away when you turn your back! I've got a different kind here in Lake Placid that I didn't have in Choko. and these don't stay still long enough to chop - they fly faster 'n Superman. So I just keep chasing them til they're across the road and hope they don't come back. This might be an exercise in futility, but at least it's exercise. And it gives the neighbors something to laugh about. Susie...See Moreshear_stupidity
