      <description>&lt;p&gt;When we lived in Chicago, my wife and I would spend hours in the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.garfieldconservatory.org/display_houses.htm&#34;&gt;Fern Room&lt;/a&gt; at the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.garfield-conservatory.org/&#34;&gt;Garfield Park Conservatory&lt;/a&gt; during the depths of winter as a cheap way to get some heat and humidity. Now we live in the PNW, where we have ferns everywhere, and I don&amp;rsquo;t look at them the same way anymore. After two days of pruning and a number of piles of refuse, we have finally removed the old leaves on about, oh, a quarter of the ferns in the main part of the yard &amp;ndash; a shitload of work. We also cleared some hold outs from this winter&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nps.gov/archive/redw/e-ivy.htm&#34;&gt;English Ivy&lt;/a&gt; removal party with my dad. The yard looks &lt;strong&gt;much&lt;/strong&gt; better.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
