Matt, never heard of the Mosquito Plant -- does it have another
name?
We returned from a 10-day visit in hot & humid St.Louis and Chicago
to find about 6 well-established evergreens had not only died, but had
actually turned orange! Had no rain for 6 weeks, and Florence
Nightingale wasn't here to rescue them. I'm still in shock.

I'm wondering just WHO invested in a mile's worth of soaker hoses?
And very important, were they the black rubber soakers or the
full Netafim plastic soakers, or a competitor?

Sounds like a perfect diet.... And I know I could drink a pint of ice
cold
gespacho every single day of the year, without tiring of it.
My hubby's a Chinaholic, when it comes to food. He eats like a horse,
4 meals a day, and it never shows. We actually take a table for four
in the Chinese restaurant, so he can order several dinners. The idea
of *just* eating gespacho and/or salad would slay him -- I guess we
are quite like Jack Sprat and his missus .... or should I say like
Jackeline Sprat and her man..?
