If any survive, they get picked       when they sprout in the garden and go back to the compost pile. The garden       rows are all heavily        mulched so very few weeds make it through the mulch into the light.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
