thanks.

The tree was already growing in the backyard when we moved into the house in 1986.  Been producing wonderful crops ever since.  Sorry I don't have a source for you.  I love em too.  Very juicy and I think sweet.  Can't get the wife to touch em.  She doesn't know what she's missing.
 
well finally warming up here in cent il. got a couple tomitillo tomato in today. for my tomittilo/avocodo green salsa. planted a row of jalapeno finally. found a 4 pack. still no habenaros. all the stores have them dang bonnies 2" pots for $3. im not paying $12 for a row of peppers darn it.

My fav places to hang are in the greenhouse..the succulent collection is very cool to watch this time of the year and watching the fish eat and the resident frog getting irritated from being invaded by me...

We made a pesto from the herb garden today and our lunch was burgers I ground from chuckies,my bacon and lettuce from the greenhouse..

Last couple of years my radishes haven't done anything. this year. the bulb is the same size as the stalk, again.  replanted again. but that has been the same for a couple of years.WHY?

I use to get nice radishes. I planted differant companies seeds. Same thing, What is going on? To much water?

Happy smoken.

David......   Radishes need lots of sun.... full sun.... If they are planted, where even the shade from neighboring plants hits them, they put all their energy into growing larger leaves......

I just read that.... no Holiday Inn for me...

Dave....I guess I will check into a Holiday Inn. The other plants around them are shorter than the radishes. I will plant again in a few differant places. seeds are cheap enough. I have planted them the same way before and they have always done great. I haven't noticed the Neighboring plants doing better. But who knows They might be a little taller than before.

Thanks and Happy smoken.
