Re:Warning to all GA bons

Hey,
Now that he has been inside for the last two-three weeks, he has filled in rather well. Aka is that myrtle. I stripped off the old leaves first. (They were completely dried out after only 24 hours!!!) I am guessing it was the heat that killed him. It took him about a week to start regrowing. I just now fertilized him because I was afraid to shock him if I did a bunch of stuff to him all at once. I open the window every day in the afternoon because I feel guilty about him not being outside where he really should be.
And if I didn’t have enough to worry about, my future mother-in-law bought me a real project from Wal-Mart today. It’s a Ficus (Spelling?). I have herd they were fairly hardy plants. The trunk has a good little twist in it, but it has a really ugly shape to the top. I am thinking about tossing it outside and seeing how it fairs in the heat. Oh, get this! The gravel on the top is glued together!!! Isn’t that gonna strangle it??? I donno how I’m gonna get it out though.
Is there a web site you recommend for supplies? I cannot find any gravel I like around here. I think I won’t anytime soon considering that the ficus is as close to ‘bonsai’ as I get here in middle GA.
On another note, we started yanking out the azalea bushes in the yard. Six down, 26 to go. If anyone wants them, you have about two weeks before we hope to have all the darn things at the curb. We found some growing through and around an old windshield wiper. We also found four foot tall oak trees growing within them that we didn’t even know were there! These are some serious plants!
Cyah Later,
