THanks so much for the great advice....wasn't even thinking that there were slumbering people out there....
Yeah, I probably won't be creating the grow box this season, only because we are having renovations done on the porch...in fact, talk about bad luck, we have to move all of our stuff off the porch while they do the renovations...might have been a bad time to buy another outdoor plant!
Meanwhile, while I look forward to other people's opinions, I really am happy that you had a lot of good advice to share....was very sure about what to do with the trident!
