    I used to buy houseplants. I would water them, Miracle Grow them…. They all died.

    Apparently plants around here say the heck with itI will grow and thrive on bricks! :)

    Must be good fertile bricks lol :rolleyes:

    Plants outside I don't have any problems growing (except for the two avocado trees) but around here indoor plants seem to have a death wish and so after about 3 months they call it quits.
    The best indoor plants for us are the fake ones and they only need dusting :rolleyes::)

    It might be a southern thing with the plants and rocks.

    Ummmm.........okay is that a bridge with plants growing on the span? Those plants have been growing for quite a while it seems!!
    Hmmm...if that is a bridge then it looks like the timber supports could do with a bit of maintenance :rolleyes::oops:

    I only grow endangered plants, because if you plant them on the bodies, nobody will dig them up to check... er... what? I said nothing/

    Good call! That was the boardwalk in New Orleans. We were doing rent a cop stuff on a barge that was replacing the metal under the boardwalk. And yeah, it REALY needed work. That was a fun weekend, watching the ships and a couple of fighter jets buzz by every day.

    Ivory > rope. :D

    How do you think teenage boys could sneak up the side of the wall to chat to their gal? Would they stay there all night? LOL. :oops:

    Fixing to redo the front yard, even though I rent, because I can't stand looking at it. But I also can't seem to keep plans alive.

    I did learn that my front yard is basically partial/full shade, and I got a list of stuff that might work but I'm 900% sure they'll die just because I planted them.

    Looks great Wenchie! Hope they don't stay zombies.

    Going to go the the local plant place and try to plan out how we are going to do our back yard. More options now as we are dog free for a bit. Let all the plants get established good, then get a mutt to tear them up. :)
