Love / Hate

[Nyboy]

When it comes to my Meyers Lemon trees I love them half a year and hate them half a year. In warm weather when moved outside they are so easy to take care of. They flower heavy and produce a juicy non sour Lemon. When weather starts turning cool they have to come inside thats when love turns to hate. Inside they need a grow light, even then they drop leaves like crazy. Some times I have a pot of sticks by spring. Do you have a plant you love/hate ?

I could pick a fruit ... like raspberries! I really like the smell of raspberries - but hate the seeds that stick between my teeth! Good thing they don't have that a lot of wonderful fragrance .

I could pick a veggie ... like cabbage! But, I only like cabbage (& sauerkraut). I really hate how aphids love them! They get between the leaves and by harvest, the plant can by horrible, as one bad leaf after another has to be peeled off!

I could pick a posie ... like petunias! Good thing that they don't last in a vase. And, they smell terrible - like horse poop! Picking off the spent flowers is a real pain because they stick to the fingers. Good thing they are related to tobacco, maybe it sets up an aversion.

If they cause me too much trouble, they get tossed to the compost before long. I gave up on overwintering my fig tree. I planted it outdoors and wished it well. It came back, but did not set fruit this summer.

Now blueberries, there's a plant I love. You can nearly ignore them altogether and they will still give you berries.

Blue berries always disappoint me and I love them
