Re: Re: HYB: broken off pod

Are you suggesting you don't know the various gardening forms of Murphy's

Only valuable plants/seeds etc are eaten, break off etc. Never happens to
the stuff you want to get rid off.

I once planted a whole pile on new daylilies, only the ones that cost more
than $40 were eaten by the cockatoos.
