@rosamyst Really not poisonous. Don't make a salad of poinsettia leaves - they taste nasty and might make you nauseated, but not toxic.
The MOBOT gourd ornaments very attractive. http://www.mobot.org/events... Who else is doing natural/homemade ornaments this year? #Christmas #decorating
RT @mobotnews RT @MayorSlay: Gourdaments on a holiday tree? Yup, gourds on a balsam fir at the Missouri Botanical Garden http://www.mobot.org/events...
@kat_hassinger Yes, rain is good. It fills the lakes. Maybe no watering restrictions next summer. I'm ignoring the mold on EVERYTHING.

@miriamwildflr In mid-Atlantic, when I lived there, tall fescues were considered (and were) drought tolerant. Not at all here.
@miriamwildflr When I said "tall fescues", read fine-bladed turf type tall fescues. I totally agree w @BackyardWisdom re: fescue in South.

@hostageek I love seeing these snow pics. So rare here, even in upstate SC. Thanks to you, I can enjoy snow, but not freeze my toes.
