HOWARD, I don't believe that you don't have 'access' to a Harvey Lemon plant. You yourself said that limitations are just a state of mind.

Harris carries it for $20. You're not going to find it any cheaper than that! Unless you are hoping to find a fruit and grow the seeds.

my lawyer has got me a farm set up in tocama Washington ZONE 8

Tocama Washington, or Washington DC? Those are on completely opposite ends of the country. You've posted both locations at different times.

I knew I should stop reading these threads, I already spent $200 at One Green World.

Howard - There is no zone 8 in Washington DC (or the surrounding areas). Unless you're gardening atop a steam grate. I feel like this thread exists only because 2020 is just THAT year.

" my lawyer has got me a farm set up in tocama Washington ZONE 8 "

HOWARD Martin, why don't you tell me the address of the location and give me the contact information, and maybe I can help you out. I'd be willing to go there for you.

This just keeps getting more interesting! East Coast vs West Coast. Where will HOWARD go?

Maybe he is going to Washington nebraska. East vs west vs middle.

Not many farms in DC so I bet on the west coast. Hopefully he puts the right Washington into the GPS before he leaves.

I looked it up. Tocama Washington is Zone 8b. In ground Harvey lemon would do ell there,

Steve

It depends what part of Tacoma. Some parts are 8a, some parts near the water are 8b, but probably most of it is zone 8, more in the middle, maybe leaning a little bit towards 8b.

We'll hope he lives on a water front property.

Steve

Howard. So where exactly are you moving too ? It’s very confusing. At one point you are saying Washington DC then you are saying Washington state. Let us know

I will be moving, Washington d c

I don't mean to be rude, but are you sure HOWARD? At different times you have specifically stated "Tacoma Washington" and "Washington DC." These are very different places.

Howard - where is the farm you're going to in DC - is it a city rental plots or using an empty residential lot? I'm not aware of any actual agriculture zoned land in the district.

And there is no USDA zone 8 in Washington. DC is mainly 6B and a small bit 7a along the Potomac river. Pretty much all the 7a is super expensive private property, government buildings, or government parkland.

the farm's in tocama Washington but my main residence will be in Washington d.c.

my farm is in Tacoma Washington

As others have pointed out, Tacoma, Washington is on the west coast. Your lawyer is planning on you flying back and forth from your farm in Tacoma to Washington DC?

That doesn't make sense at all. How would you effectively monitor seedlings on the opposite side of the country?

it won't be easy for

Tacoma and DC are what 2000-3000 miles apart?

Sorry, can't edit on my phone. Should have said "[they] are what, 2000-3000 miles apart?"

Well I guess howards lawyer will just have to get him a gulfstream so he can commute between his east coast and his west coast farm.

Hmm. Maybe it's Tacoma Park, MD, which is a suburb of DC. Don't think there's any farm land there though. I think HOWARD's yankin' our chain. Jet-setting back and forth between Tacoma, WA and Wash DC, ...who's gonna take care of the lemons?

Insert Rickroll link here....

Not only will they be cold-hardy, they will also be maintenance-free.

I will volunteer to take care of the lemons, if HOWARD Martin is indeed planting lemons there.

However, I highly doubt they will survive.

Just by coincidence, I was just in Seattle and noticed what I could determine was obviously a citrus plant planted right outside an Ethiopian restaurant, probably a lemon. Maybe I will report back a few months from now and tell you if it is still alive.

Seattle though, being heavily built-up and urban, has a very different local climate than land out in the open.

but be fore I do anything rightnow I have to get over the crona virus

right now I have to get over covid-19

because he hasn't told me it

Wishing you well Howard.

Steve

Good luck Howard. How do you think you got it ? Are you shut in or out and about ? Be safe and wear a mask at all times. Sanitize

Howard, hope you have a speedy recovery.

If you plan on moving to the west coast and the Washington DC (east coast) is just temporary,then you have a talented citrus volunteer (props to socalnolympia) to look after your seedlings on the west coast. If not I would suggest asking your lawyer look for something closer to your residence. The time (5+ hours) of travel across the country to look after seedlings would appear very counterproductive. I can't imagine a lawyer finding a farm 3000 miles away from you home and expecting it to be workable (unless your east coast tenancy is short term).

I am doing well right now

I am recovering well

You can't keep a good man down they say'

ponicirusguy6b452xx they just released me from my quarantine today

the exact spots I have not been told yet

Howard, thank God you are better)

Meyermike(ZONE 6 Ma ) this time of the year I get what types of mediums I can get even if it's not the best types I had to bring my three lemon trees inside so they can have the right temperature at night right now and they are doing well and on days less than forty degrees I won't put them outside rightnow not even lower than 50 degrees

Howard, the name is Mike.

I hear you and welcome back

thank you

At least howard brought his trees inside instead of killing them.

for right the too young and too small and put a layer of clay on top of the decaying leaves

Don't cover the surface with clay. It will smother the roots'

Steve

ponicirusguy6b452xx only enough to just give a little more stability for the inside just a thin top layer on the decaying leaves

I will soon find out the truth

The truth is that you can not grow lemons outdoors and unprotected in zone 7.

Please, can someone kill this idiotic thread????
