Didn't know about the full plant...made me think how recently I showed the children a 'weeping willow' because it was mentioned in a book we read. Long, drooping and sweeping like magical silky threads. I guess I didn't know what you were taling about because I was/am one of those people who didn't grow a garden! I am starting to think of things that bring flashback moments of my growing up. A while ago was biting into these big red globe grapes, and biting into the seeds, and being brought back to the countless seedFULL grapes I grew up with in Italy, so different from the 'seedless' ones I eat all the time now! miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782743866188273170noreply@blogger.com
