My Neighbor Keeps Throwing Out Expensive Plants

[jaxexpat]

38. Very cool.

I built an addition onto my home. It connected an unfinished out building to the main house. I didn't put a floor in this connection bldg. But instead build a wooden elevated walkway from the house to what became my new master suite. To build this I had to remove a large maple. I planted tropical plants in my connector room. I didn't know what was going on when so many of them died shortly after planting until I noticed little immature insects were attached to the roots. It turned out that the maple had been host to thousands of 17 year locusts, the cicadas of noise came. When they had all died off the plants finally took off. Had to trim the path to the bedroom with a machete about every six months. Monsteras and fiddle leaf figs, euphorbia and a lemon tree. I counted 100+ plants the cicada pupae left us. They'd killed that many more. It was an adventure.
