All the avocados are coming down with some incurable affliction, in a few years there might be devastation of the avocado groves we are famous for.
I hope you are right about the cucumbers. I also have a very small Sweet Success seedling in an adjacent EB.

I had to google Mamey Sapote. Never even heard about it before. How does it taste? I have being to Florida many, many times, never seen one.
I want to move to FL. I do not care about the heat, it is 98 here, who gives...
Come on down Ella. Our winters are to die for. We almost never get any hotter than 94, mostly its around 89-91, being peninsular helps, because of ocean breezes.

Many thanks. Gerardo suggested I put a cacao tree under the mango. That would bpe perfect for it.

It does take a little of the edge off of not being able to get a fresh garden tomato at this time of year. I'm kinda jealous of you guys that can grow in the summer. I have to wait until late fall or winter to get mine.
