Well. I plucked my first ripe roma tomato and first ripe banana pepper from my garden. those will taste a lot better than store brought ones, I'm sure. The first squash were self aborted and the second generation is almost ready for harvest. cabbage is growing well as are some carrots. Bit of a mix up on the pumpkins. They were really butternut squash that were planted by my mom in the pumpkin row. The pumpkins themselves are blooming but have not shown any sign of immature fruit. my olive tree is blooming.

I'm glad they are doing well. BTW: I cannot find the original thread. Did it go into the void when the forums were renamed somehow?

Don't forget Jerry, we still gotta get you some good baby oak trees!

I currently need one species of red oak, live oak, (Q virginiansis) cinquifil oak, willow oak, poast oak and black oak acorns plus that giant fuzzy freakin 'oak acorns I saw on fort sill.

I have white oak, pin oak, burr oak and some unknown type of red oak.

I saw Virginian Oak on a site when I was looking for the tall palm trees. On any search you should find it easily and they are NOT expensive.

I did find out why the Mexican blue palm is so expensive, it is a slow grower, maybe I should get a few just as a side investment...

In case everyone is wondering what the hades Jerry and I are talking about, I went to a shop for ceramic vases and pots yesterday with Vicky so we could plant the gardenias, I saw a palm tree and asked how much it cost. The lady replied "dos mil pesos," which if you round off the dollar equals 200 dollars for a frigging tree! Maybe some of you fellow Americans are in the wrong business!

I believe the one's in elpaso were just mexican fan palms. If so the baby ones are cheap. The big 250 dollar ones labled mexican fan palm also look exactly like the ones we saw there (at the Hawthorne). the one I rescued from walmart is growing pretty fast it has already put out three new fronds in the last two months.
