Police force show themselves to be ....

A truck was stolen from the nursery last week. One of our older what we would consider junk trucks, not worth much to most people but a necessity to us. We use it around the nursery site to load orders and place plants where they go etc. Well anyway my Dad finally called the police about something getting stolen at the nursery after 3 fourwheelers and countless times money has gone missing I finally have learned why he never bothers to call. The fact is that they DO NOTHING ABOUT IT! A friend of ours spotted the truck on Emerson off of Spring Park Rd. PARKED OUTSIDE A HOUSE! My dad called them over a period of 4-5 hours repeatedly and NOTHING! The fact that anyone is in Jail shocks me. No onder people steal in broad daylight! The police have been told where the car is and do they give a crap. maybe we should have hired a repo guy I bet for a hundred bucks we could have had our truck back in 60 minutes! Seriously are they freaking that CRAZY? I know for a fact that a police car drives down Spring park road at leat 10 times every hour. ( I used to live there) Granted most of the time they are going ninety with there lights on but still, hello! I dont get it! I know people who have police show up becouse there cat trips their house alarm but try to get a truck picked up. Good gravy do you actually have to get pulled over for speeding to go to jail in this country? Oh by the way your tail light is busted and here is your 75 dollar ticket and oh, you are going to have to go with me youve been wanted for five years for armed robbery, weve been looking all over the streets for you where have you been hiding ? hmmm maybe at your house where you have an electic bill sent in your name every month? I used to think people would have to go into hiding if they stole a car, but you can actaully stay right in your own home and drive it back and forth to work every day and tell people hey like my new hot truck. Drive it around a few weeks and dump it on the side of the road somewhere and steal another one. WHO KNEW?

Hi! Honestly, I haven't grown agapanthus from seed yet, but I caught all mine when they were sort of green/brown... starting to split open and there were clearly mature seeds inside. I probably lost quite a few to the surrounding ground, too. My understanding is that they'll grow like weeds from seed, so much that they'll get out of control in the right environment.

But all my comments come with the caveat that I've never grown them from seed either! :-) Worth trying though!

Thanks for the answer... I have been dividing them for years simply becouse you will still have blooms on them but there seems to be a shortage of them around for my nursery and when I ordered liners (small 2 inch pots for starter plants for Nurseries)they said they were from seed so i thought id give it a try. But im not much of a seed collector I usually get my plants from divisions or cuttings or seeds I ordered on the internet of varieties I havent seen around locally.
