Same thing.  Need to test zip along, and havent yet but i got 8 more plants
and ¨now the planters look full and flowery.  I mixed all different types
this time ¨and should have a mini-wild garden growing that isnt too wild
yet.  The heat ¨here will kill it in about 2-3 months but then, these are
all 50 cent plants ¨and the joy of playing with them makes it worth it.

Porch.  Be simple.  A Lanai is just another name for a porch.

MK> Sounds nice.  Probably could keep some of the bugs out.

Holes are too big for all but dragonflies to be bothered by, but I'm used
to ¨the weave now and iot doesnt bother me.

Well, I normally grew onions (green) and such, but they almost always die
here ¨due to them not being watered right when high heat hits here and i'm
always ¨gone at that time for at least enough of it to kill the plants.

I'd grow peppers but they wont survive my underway times .
