Finally a pic of a plant! But an old one. I do know how to grow things. I'd been on the road for the past 15 years everywhere from Texas, Louisiana, DC, Georgia, R-Kansas, Missouri, Maryland with my "office" being located in Dallas. Got married during that adventure, and built a house in the DFW area even though I was rarely there, but the boss really liked it. I'm originally from Nebraska, and folks always had a garden, and when I was going to UNL, I worked at the landscape service, so I've had a green thumb throughout. Texas weather is stupid, and the only thing we could get to produce well in our flower pot garden was Jalapenos. Beyond that I did plant Mandarin trees, lemon trees, and even grew some Pineapples. Because I could. Had that little greenhouse setup in the garage for the 1 month of winter it drops below freezing a couple times to keep them in, and had a good laugh the day I had to explain to the husband/wife directly across the street wearing their full, official, Fort Worth PD SWAT gear costumes that I was growing pineapples, not pot. I wish i would've gotten a pic of them both having a beer with me discussing it in same said outfits...
After getting back to Nebraska and settling in permanently a year and a half ago, I'm back to the climate I know, and will get some pics of what I have going on. When Mother Nature allows it......
Until next time. The end.
