Hummingbird vine is also known as trumpet creeper, cow itch vine and more commonly trumpet vine. I have A 12 (w)' X 8' (h) trellis cover with trumpet vines. Second generation 1st was blown over by wind and rain it was so big and heavy. I have seen five or six vines "braided" and raised on a single post with a spoked wagon wheel at the top. It can be considered invasive if left on its own. I have to treat many to get rid of them when the vine seeds itself in the lawn, I hand eliminate them when it is in the flower beds. I will gladly send you seed pods should you care to start it this way. Send me a mailing address P.S. I have never seen humming birds around it that I can recall. Might have had visitors during migration David Phillips jjdgp AT att.net
I have in the past searched the web for the best way to condition a leather baseball glove since I more or less collect them and I have never seen so many suggestions and poor ones at that as to how to condtion a leather baseball glove. Start with saddle to clean it. Then rub in lanolin (hydrous type) using a damp sponge. Do this until you feel the glove has benn treated sufficently. Apply LEXOL again sparaingly two or three times , wiping off access and allowing the glove to air dry between applications. This process takes time but the glove will last longer. Buy a regulation hard ball (softball), drill a 3/4 inch diameter hole about an inch deep. Using a "super glue" secure a dowel in the hole then cut the dowel length to suit. Use this to hammer a pocket in the glove. This method will save wear and tear and your throwing arm. Should the glove be a brand new glove the use of saddle to clean it at this time won't be necessary but should be used at the close of the season before "retiring it to the closet shelf". ...
