Renee it sounded like paradise until you mentioned the goats. Al

What, Al, you don't like the smell of goats?

I'll be putting up more chicken wire on my neighbor's side of the ivy fence today while they are on vacation. A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you? Big holes chewed right through the green, so that I have a nice clear view of goatdom. Did you know they can climb over chain link?

What do they do with the goats? Pets?

My elementary school has a tiny citrus grove (5-7 trees), and the scent is heavenly.

I love the fragrance of my brugmansia, roses, lavenders, but oh nothing can top the orange blossom perfume.

I have read that Cotyledons will poison goats. Be careful not to grow Cotyledons.

I bought a meyer lemon this weekend. Don't need another lemon. Don't have room for it--had to make it a potted patio plant. But they smell so divine in bloom that I couldn't not buy it.

Sigh

Cotyledons, heh? Hmmm.

You should see the neighbor's fruit trees. They are all limbed up to goat-on-the-hind-legs height. Check out the little baby pygmy Nigerian goat they just got:

They are very cute - but I'm glad they're not my neighbors. And you're right - the smell of orange blooms is tempting me to go visit my orange tree RIGHT NOW. And I'm supposed to be cleaning my house (so how'd I end up on GardenWeb?).

I need to beg your neighbor to borrow his goats for a week! I am trying to kill English Ivy and Oxalis and it looks like this is an easier solution!!
I have close to a dozen citrus trees, but over here, they are just setting buds, it will be a few weeks before the full fledged spring blooms are out.
