**These litterers need to be sentenced to a hefty fine and a week of picking up road trash on REALLY hot, humid, summer days. I did that sort of work for a few days in my late teens for the Youth Conservation Corps: Believe me, it cured any such tendencies in the kids in our work detail!
(Well, we also painted woodwork @ Garden of the Gods, swam @ Pounds Hollow Lake, cleared new trails, canoed @ Current River, had terrific cooks (the gals complained about the weight they were putting on!), learned a LOT (and some great stories) from the National Forest Rangers, ...a certain girl..., and had many fab adventures and times. Terrific memories...! A few minutes to half hour picking up roadside trash always brings them back, so, it’s certainly not the worst chore in the world. :-)
My one Opo plant that survived, produced one medium size fruit (saved for seeds), declined, and has now bounced back, is going nuts: I have to go back to it and “redirect” for about the 4th time in 10 days to keep it out of the Asian Squash and also a walkway. It’s also into a Mimosa tree, and I’m just gonna let the Opo do it’s thing, there, as that gets that part of the plant as much sunlight as it wants to climb for, once it’s over 15’ up. Will I get more fruits? Who knows!
I’ll hit it with a little more Super Phosphate & maybe a little diluted milk....
I have never understood littering. Anybody who does that is as much trash as what they’re getting rid of.
