Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Dd and I would like to start these from seed, but none of the packets we bought say when to start them. Has anyone done this?

The packets say they are from South Africa originally, and that they germinate at 80 degrees. I can duplicate that indoors, but once they germinate do they still need to be kept warm? Help!

I don't know about where you are, but in Alabama once started, they are IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of. Be sure you want it forever and ever. Here they are an almost no fail type thing so they are easy to get going.

Really? I live in the mountains of Oregon. We still get a light frost until Mother's Day, after that the nights are always in the 50's and 60's during the summer, though it does get hot during the summer days. Our winters are mild, though we get some snow and the ground does freeze but only in the top few inches. Mostly we get rain, rain, rain.

I have a couple of spots where I wouldn't mind if they completely took over. Does anyone know if they are safe for animals to eat? Could I grow them on a pasture fence? I have searched the internet and not found an answer to this particular question...
