My neighbor claims I should pull up all my rabbit bush - she says it's a 
water hog.   I live outside of Mountainair, NM on 40 acres and I think it's 
an 
attractive plant and have read nothing negative about it on net.   It appears 
to 
me it might be a positive plant because whereever it grows other plants soon 
form around it.    Anyone have any info on this plant?

I also want to make a cold frame for growing lettuce and greens during 
winter.   Anyone have any suggestions on this.   I was thinking of lining a 
pit   
with rocks   and using an old door or a few windows.   Would like to hear of 
anyones successes.
