Planting a tree this year for earth day! Super excited. Also - not sure if this is true for all regions, but Starbucks is giving away free coffee/tea if you bring your own mug. :) Kim

Thank you, tifbee. My garden just got a little rain, my peas and carrots are up, it was sunny today. I had a nice Earth Day.

Come and Gone.

Thanks for the comments! Garyfla, Glad to hear they are edible. I dont plan on eating the fruit, but its good to know anyway. Weeding is a great way to celebrate earthday. Im pretty sure a lot of the common weeds are not native species so getting rid of them gives native plants less competion. Plus they look pretty ugly. Greg. Yep since this is a palm fourm I should probably show a pic of at least one of my palms, so here is a pic of my areca that I bought a few weeks ago. Also comming in the mail is a pindo palm (to replace the potted pindo palm that died) and sabal domingensis (which I might try in the ground when its a little older). As for the pindo palm that survived the witner, its doing really well and is finally starting to grow some new leaves. Heres that pic of the new areca... Laura, Glad you like the pics. The camellia isnt blooming as much now and only has a few buds left. New leaves are comming up now which always happens right after it finishes flowering. I gave my plumerias some miracle grow, but I think they want more and might be looking for something better to start them off. Where did you get the seaweed extract. I can only imagine how bad that probably smells (probably like raw fish) but it seems to help them out a lot. I wonder if it works for palms also. I still have lots to do with my plants. Right now I think my double peach hibiscus has impressed be the most as far as growth. It lost all its leaves indoors because of countless bug problems. Then in march it saw 28F and only had one leaf and a tiny flower bud left. Now only one month later it has leaves emerging everywhere and the single flower bud that has been on the plant since november is still there and is getting closer to blooming. My coconut is also growing pretty fast despite the recent lack of really warm weather. As for my other plants they are alive and mostly green, but not growing too much yet. Last frost date this year in my area was March 27 which is about a week or 2 early compared to average. Lowest temp in april has been 40F which is pretty good for april. Usually there is at least one or 2 nights in the upper 30s, but we got lucky this year. Good luck!
