- Go to Wanted – Olive Tree Foster Parents...
I read this before, but I just didn't know what to say. I wouldn't mind having an olive tree in my yard, they are beautiful trees, but to foster one somewhere else?..... Wonder if anyone would like to adopt my spider plant babies?

omg .... you obviously have a picture of me naked!!!
"You’ll get a certificate, slightly wilted blossoms, and the cutest little aphids imaginable..." Nah, the aphids are questionable too ... Is this serious? When they start the wine adoption, wake me up!

I wonder if it's lump sum or annual installments? I hear they do it with bee hives and maple trees in the US too.

I love it. Do you want to try desert dust? It comes in pint, quart, gallon and dump truck sizes. Dust is free, shipping and handle extra, a lot extra! lol sam

Let's see, what have I got around here I can sell adoptions to...?
Try inviting your adopted olive tree for a visit... I think it is still unlawful to take olive trees out of Italy. I heard that somewhere...

I love the idea of visiting the adopted tree!
Anything to go back in Italy for a visit! Much better than the dumps where must of these kids
live, I mean, survive. NO?!

At least they're not parading sad-eyed little olive trees in front of
the camera. Although you can't tape a jar of olive oil to the fridge door to show visitors.

I love petunias. If you want to kill those cute little dudes: Take water, some of that coveted olive oil, black pepper and lots of crushed garlic and allow it to mix overnight. Strain and spray the plants even the ground where aphids are and they will leave home. Plant Garlic in your rose garden too.
