On that note... The persimmons I got from my friend are PERFECT! From what I understand, there are many fruits that if grown from seed, won't produce the same exact fruit as the parent (like in the video below). I'd LOVE to plant seeds from this fruit and grow them... but don't want to...

That's just insane (and kinds sad). Ironically just a couple hours ago I picked up a box (only about 1/4 the size of your boxes) of Fuyu from the woman that gave them to my mom a year ago.

I'll drive up and get them! LOL!

We're back up :)

We're unfortunately having some server errors over there. Our team is aware and working to find a fix!

Ugh! I'm in no way a garden expert. Sometimes I've just gotten lucky, but most of the times my garden has disappointed me. I see other gardens that have SUPER lush huge vibrant green plants with tremendous production ... and I'm stuck with plants (most vegetables) that barely grow or produce...

Thanks everyone for being so patient! It was a long-day of trying to figure out the issue and getting it fixed.

Well, we ended up with a lot of these: ... and then a ton of these flying around, mating, and (assuming) laying eggs: The GF is still struggling with how she wants to proceed.

Exactly! I thought I had picked them all before leaving for a few days... turns out this one was hiding :)

I ended up just pulling it / breaking it apart in the middle, which released it from it's cage. ;)

ME: "Hey GF, why are you putting a cage around those cucumbers?" GF: "It will help them grow better." Cucumber:

Winner!!! Yup, that seems to be what we've got! Ok, so no feeding it to the chickens. :D ... now my GF has to make the hard decision what she likes more: Healthy passionflower vine Happy butterflies

We've got a Passionflower vine that is getting devoured by these guys. Any ideas what they are? They only seem to be going after the Passionflower vine, and nothing else in the garden / yard. Once we figure them out, we'll determine if it's safe to feed them to the chickens, and then how to...

I totally feel your frustration and concern. I too wish everyone would enter their locations. Making the field required is definitely a recurring request on all my sites, and the perfect answer is always missing :( After years of discussion, opinions, debate... and even some experimentation...

Funny you should mention that... I had actually bought a bottle of it and added it to my gas and engine oil! I'm a huge fan of this youtuber and got the idea of seafoam from him:

LOL! Renting out a big part of the house helps pay the bills!

LOL, give the wild oat a couple of weeks and it will get dry and tan. Right now all the hills and mountains are SUPER green with it, but once we stop getting rain, it quickly dries up and becomes a big fire hazard! I'm in a pretty temperate (and almost ideal) climate in the SF Bay Area. I'm in...

I have a Montgomery Ward lawnmower my Dad bought... at least 30 years ago, probably more. I've been using it as my "weed lawnlower" for the past 10 years. It has run surprisingly well during those years I've owned it, even though I've not taken care of it properly. Each Spring when I pull it...

SUPER sorry for the inconvenience. Our server company said they were doing "upgrades", but when the process was done, everything started going south... and it took a while for them to find / fix the problem. Hopefully everything is good now!
