My beloved Sister in Law gave that Yucca to us two and a half years ago when she moved...so I don't really know how old it is. I think they bought it when it was already pretty big. I love it! My husband thinks it is a monster, which, of course, it is...but I love it anyway. It grows about 4-6 inches every summer on the porch. Whereabouts in OH do you live, TJ? -Sarah

Awesome pictures--very rich garden colors. I thought you were in FL too. You've made very good of the space you have. I like that your little guy is enthusiastic in what you're doing. My 11-year old knows the names of most of my plants. Most of all, it's fun to be able to touch the tip of your banana leaves from the window! Do you overwinter most of your plants, or do these plants come back after the freeze?

Here is Eden again with a few more blooms, it's my favorite!

Neil - that is quite the set! And what a deal you got on it! $150 off, nice job! However, I wouldn't know what to do with all those attachments! Although I am sure I could find something. As for the drill bits, Rina is correct, they are specialty bits. I actually found mine back by where they sell tile, not by the drill stuff. And mine is like the first picture, not the second. Its circular with a hole in the middle. I keep water on it while drilling, and gentle pressure. You have to be patient! Also, I think the water may be the cause of my drill giving out on me. The chuck was stuck. I could not get it to move for nothing! I tried CLR (I noticed some rust inside of it). I also tried WD40. I could've just replaced the chuck but I couldn't get the hex screw driver down the middle. The chuck was stuck with a bit in it. :-( And MsGreenFinger - thank you for the information! I tried a taste of it alone, and I did not like it!!! So I don't know if I would like anything with just sage (e.g. tea, mouthwash, etc.) but I am going to try it on some pork soon, and maybe even some chicken. :-) Deva
