We live just southeast of Phoenix, and have already wasted a lot of money on star jasmine plants for our trellis. The first pair of plants initially thrived and blossomed...until they were overrun with spider mites. We tried many different techniques to rid the plants of the mites but to no avail. We ordered two more star jasmine plants, this time younger plants, and purchased new large pots for them. However, we decided to hold off on re-potting them until they had a chance to grow a bit. We never got the chance to re-pot them, because, once again, a spider mite infestation killed them. We have other plants that remain untouched by spider mites. We have a beautiful wrought iron trellis that's standing empty right now, and we'd like a fragrant vine for it. We love wisteria, but it looks like it's not an option for us, since we don't want to waste money on more high-risk plants. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Pepperdine is in Malibu, CA ... 'nuff said. :-) Seriously, it is a pricey private college on a beautiful campus high above Malibu. That's about all I know. Jodi-

I saw this sign at the Palm Springs Flea Market frequently: This is the extent of my experience with Venmo, but it seems to be the preferred payment at this flea market. I've seen similar signs at farmers' markets. When my sister paid me for some work I did for her, she used Zelle to make a payment to my commercial bank account. However, Zelle does not allow me to make payments from this account. My sister is a banking lawyer, and this is what she is most familiar with. I tend to use Paypal instead, but Paypal does keep a percentage of the payment, just like credit cards do. I found this out when I was an Amazon seller. When I send money to someone, I use a check, and the only cost is the postage and the cost of the check, but my checks cost more than the postage, and so there is that.

New Hampshire Seacoast! LOL we always joke about that. I had no Idea they even named it. It must be about a mile of seacoast that poor state gets! I went to get a map to show you, and this one came up: https://smile.amazon.com/Posterazzi-Collection-United-States-Josefina/dp/B07NWXVT9J/ref=asc_df_B07NWXVT9J/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=492296907568&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2175888936393275893&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003451&hvtargid=pla-1158797446545&psc=1&sa-no-redirect=1 To add insult to injury, this map abbreviates New Hampshire as "NE," which, is, umm, Nebraska. Maybe they meant Nebraska Seacoast ? NH ("NE") is the pale orange one cozying up to VT. Maine and Massachusetts hogged all the coast. They left them a port and thats about it. Though Portsmouth is cute!
