Not really. And, anyway, for me "dead easy to grow" would
be something on the order of hiring a gardener to do it. ;-)
I'm not much into plants - I mean, I like them and all, but
I hate gardening. I did a tiny bit of it when I first moved
into my house and didn't have my arthritis yet. You know how
people plant maybe 2-3 tomato plants and then end up with
bushels of tomatoes that they can't even give away? Well,
I did that and got one tiny ripe tomato and about 3 unripe
ones that I picked just before the first frost, figuring
they were never going to get ripe! ;-)

I did have some luck for a few years with some red currants
but they got some disease and died. I like plants that you
can plant and ignore and they will bloom or produce fruit
forever after without any attention from me. House plants -
forget it. If they don't meow when they're thirsty I'm not
going to notice and they're going to shrivel up and die.
It's pretty pathetic.
