I don't know your other anonymous poster, but I echo the thought. <BR/>It seemed such a beautiful way to unite people, so purely non-partisan. The rightwingers in the US could feel good about replanting the palms of the south cut down by Sadam, the lefties could congratulate themselve on replacing the palms cut down by the soldiers. Every Iraqi could honor the Prophet's praise of trees by planting more of them.<BR/><BR/>And the trees could start growing now so that by the time actual peace and reconstruction took place, the trees would already look regal and fabulous.<BR/><BR/>Gardeners across the globe could have been hit up for donations, with collection points at every nursery/plant store.<BR/><BR/>I even had the perfect corporate sponser picked out!<BR/><BR/>And then things went to complete hell in Iraq, killing much more than my foolish palm tree dreams...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25600477.post-1158918431466637742006-09-22T10:47:00.000+01:002006-09-22T10:47:00.000+01:00Nic, why not both.Bill thanks i'm using these terr...Nic, why not both.<BR/><BR/>Bill thanks i'm using these terrible <BR/>patches. its been 48 hours.<BR/><BR/>Craig, yes I have tried before about 12 years ago for forth days,as for the canary island palm trees, yes the look simmilar except for the quantity of dates.<BR/><BR/>anony, these pictures are of of one tree that my grandfater planted back in 1979 they have matured since 1989.<BR/><BR/>bruno, thank you I really hope it would work.<BR/><BR/>Rubin, although you have not posted a comment yet but I have a feeling your going to start another riot with Bruno.Zappy Corleonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485226977082575543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25600477.post-1158910625202173592006-09-22T08:37:00.000+01:002006-09-22T08:37:00.000+01:00Congratulations!
