re:So, now that I've laid bare my limited knowledge, would somebody pass me a fig leaf?

silly me, i thought he meant to make a cap(dunce cap?) with the leaf.. and fig leaves aren't that small. though NY is really to cold for them, they are cultivated by many, and each winter, pruned, bound, wrapped, topped with a waste can, (to keep rain and snow from leaking into the wrapping) and the roots are thickly mulched. the leaves are somewhat like an oak leaf, (white or black oak) and deaply lobed, but often larger than my hand.
but no one tries to grow olive trees.
the thought of something like velcro- on sensitive anatony..youch!


my other obsession
