Epic Fail (with Passion!)

Well, the time has come.  I must admit to complete failure with the passion fruit.  The vines have grown less than an inch in all the months they’ve been in the ground.  They are not dead but they are not growing, and there are several very happy insects in my garden.  The leaves are riddled with holes and my efforts to eradicate the pests have failed miserably.  I hereby throw in the towel.  I am defeated.  The vines come out tomorrow.
