Garden Rant: What's Invasive? Telling People What They Can't Plant In Their Yards

Some of you might want to chime in over there.

What's the point. You'll end up on blood pressure meds or worse. I've seen their site before. This is far from being the first time they've promoted highly invasive species. That's an anything goes site as long as it attracts visitors.

I tried to post a comment there. and it said it was posted, but I don't see it.

I had to re-post, it won't let me post a link.

Thanks. Give it some time to catch up.

Maybe it takes a while to be seen? Maybe somebody has to approve it? I take back what I said. I looked for your reply and found this, "Posted by: frank@nycgarden | July 16, 2009 at 09:41 AM There seems to be an underlying assumption among gardeners that a plant has to be from some far-away land in order to be pretty. And there is another assumption among gardeners that gardening should be free from research and ethical decisions. I am sad - this is the first time a post at garden rant has made me sad.

I posted something without a link and it showed up right away.

So I think it was the link that blocked it from posting?

But then I see other people have posted links in their comments?

who knows...

Maybe .pdf's are screened? It might be a virus issue.

Here's what I posted:

"I can't stand people with your attitude on life. You're growing plants that undermine the work conservationists and don't care because the damage being done isn't happening in your yard."

I held back so much.
