Love tropicals, can't beat 'em for a lush looking garden.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.
