Thanks Elaine. Honestly? I think that's good advice. When I started gardening last year, my brother came by one day and asked if I wanted some. He found 'em just suddenly growing along his AC home's AC unit. Mind you, they were tiny at the time. I figured 'why not?'. This Spring when most of the yard was under reno, I moved them out of a shaded area I was temporarily storing them, and plopped them down there. Not knowing specifically what they were, I wasn't certain just how large they may grow, or, for that matter, whether I'd keep them.

Surprisingly, I rarely ever water that spot on the side. It faces East and I've yet to see them wilt or suffer, even as the temps have hit 90 so far. Doesn't change the fact they shouldn't be there, and I've already seen them begin pupping, so I know well what kind of stand they like to build for themselves.

Thanks again, and yeah, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.

Mike
