    Coffee anyone ?

    Ah just looked up Gem. Its a licensed fruit. Can be stored for several months before ripening by ethylene. I'd say that its a hedge against the winter diluge of Mexi Hass.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Oh my heart is sooooo sad. 7 years old. Bloat is so dangerous! I'm glad you're gonna find out for sure. Avos take about 7 years to start to produce fruit. Yes, I guess that guy has deep pockets to wait that long!

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    My DD got full custody of GD when the bio father went to jail! Years later, just three years ago, SIL adopted Miss S. Bio father is still a loser and a convicted felon. Lets hope that is the scenario for your GD, so she settles with them, instead of her horrible mom.

Since bunnies are a pest and eat everything, flowers, tree trunks, veggies, etc, I tossed three of them to the Velociraptors and then left one for the puppy to learn with. I...

    I have two augers meant for drilling plant holes, and using a drill. On this rocky slope, we've had zero success with either size. Pick ax is what we had to use. p.s. Not me. I no longer can swing a pick ax and not hit my leg instead.
