You mean that vile little thorny (Ow! Poky thingy!) plant can and does grow in a lawn setting?! I'd figure that since lawns get watered and fertilized, they'd be overfed and burn. Hmmm, a tougher adversary than I thought....

My rose has four or five blooms coming out. Can't tell if they'll be mottled yet or not. The miniature rose is doing very well too. Amazing considering it was almost completely brown just three weeks ago... and the fact that mini's aren't my thing.

Bangs? I don't see anything wrong with bangs... What is Bocce anyway? I've heard of it, and never played it myself. Kinda like golf, the way it's supposed to be. (I took out power to a small area once by hitting a pole transformer with a golf ball. Never played golf since.)

fofl!

bocce ball is played with 8 people, 4 on each team. you toss a little white ball called a palina onto the lawn in front of you. then each player rolls/throws (like lawn bowling) his bocce ball and the object is to try to land your bocce ball closest to the palina. you get a point for each one closest in distance to the palina. the first team to get 11 points win.

Hi Darksheare
you have green thumb if you can make miniature roses grow for you
lol we don't have lawns on desert
it never rains
my yards are just sandy earth
yup, that cactus which got you in Oklahoma is here in my front yard and back yard
the cactus wrens make their nests in them, cause thorns are so long and sharp it is perfectly safe in there
Love, Palo
