Re: Most Frequent Questions

I write for a pretty sophisticated audience though with the population boom in this area there is a mix of gardeners with varied experience levels.  For years I'd wanted to write an April Fools column and this year was my chance.  The column was about a new plant..insect and disease resistant, self seeding hardy annual and when it died it produced ten times it's mass in compostable humus.  Even had quoted from industry experts...but my editor insisted that the last line include the April fools disclaimer.  The plant was appropriatly named "Gottcha".  Sure enough last week my favorite garden center called to tell me that a reader had come in looking for the plant.  Enough said?
