A True Doomsday Prepper
@rainingcatzanddogs .....Darn! I can't get ferns to grow for me. Tried 4 ostrich ferns last year in a shady spot under some trees. An armadillo I saw meandering that week and a neighborhood fox were apparently quite fond of them. The fox even drug one of the rhizomes up onto my porch to eat it! I found the remnants and quickly realized what it was. I've seen him on the porch more than once! All 4 vanished in the same week at 4" tall.
Ferns do well in pots on a porch! They just like shade and moisture. In central Texas that can sometimes be an issue. You can hang the pots off the trees...just don't forget to water!
