My Four Winds order has been shipped!
Comments (16)Hi Patty, Thanks again for all your usefull info. You mention the fact that 'Kishu' is a smaller fruit, so small that it prevents it from being a grocery store citrus. This fact is one of the #1 reasons why I chose to buy it. Small fruits mature and ripen much faster. From what you told me before, it sounds like 'Page' will be the same way. I have had my 'ORo Blanco' now for 1 full year now. Over the past winter(I would say up to December), it had 4 nice sized fruits. They continued to grow and mature but sadly they all dropped, and I would say that they only maybe had another month or 2 to go before being fully mature and ripe. I know my problem was that I didn't have enough space for all my tropicals and tropical fruit trees. I alson new that they needed more light but I figure the tree was still too small and now it can concentrate on growing larger and taller. I still will be hoping to get my hands on the Minneola and hopefully if I make it to FL this summer, I can pick one up and ship it back home to me. If I cannot wait that long to get it(when I really want something like that, I tend to get impatient..LMAO!!) I will either order it from Four Winds or try to order it from my local nursery. Hi Mike, I am all ready growing my tropicals in my 2 bedrooms! One I use for figs, plumerias, and a few of my tropicals such as my passionfruit vine and my keylime. I also have Laura'a agave in there. The other I Have my HPS light in and that's where the rest are except for my 'Star Ruby' which is in my living room right now. When I went to Potratz, they had HPS or Hallide lights for sale along with T5's. I was really happy to see this! I plan on buying a new light set up here and there this summer. That way by the time winter roles around again, I will be all prepared and my newly growing citrus collection will have all the light they need...along with the mango and other tropical fruit collections! I really am going to have to stop otherwise I will not have anymore room in this apartment! Were going to have to make a decision on if were going to live in NY or if were going to move FLorida. You know I would much rather live in FL! Mike, I forgot to ask you....if you plan on another trip to Logees, PLEASE let me know!! I have a few things I would like to get there. Another 'Day' avocado, the yellow gardenia, and if they have a decent sized HEALTHY Minneola, I would like that too!! It really does make a BIG diffrence to have a trusted friend(not only a good friend like you but someone who also loves there plants!) to hand pick the plants. Hi Laura, WOW sounds like the PHL flower show was a success! Between you and I, I hate the noids! You don't know what you really have and then if you go and buy something else that's similar or not blooming, you run the risk of getting another noid! I did lose around 7 or 8 plumerias this winter but only a couple were really special. One of them was 'JJ Jenny' but Sonia is looking for another one for me as we speak. Thank god for people like you, Sonia, and Mike, and all the others that I haven't mentioned. You all have made it much eaier for me to get some of these harder to find plants/tropicals. If you stumble across a nice sized Minneola or Washington Navel, PLEASE grab it for me and I will reimburse you. I just don't want to spend another arm and a leg having to order them. Ooh, and yes Laura, I am trying to persuade you to become a co citrus horder with me! What you will find cool about this hobby is that citrus can be easily propogated from cuttings! Mike is doing this all ready, and I will be asking him for some tips so I can get growing my very own cuttings. I did it years ago with Ponderosa lemon. I didn't have any trouble with rooting it but all my recent attemps at rooting have not been productive. Well take care everyone! I did check my delivery status for my Four Winds order. Right now it's in New Jersey so it should be here by tomorrow. Laura, I will be hiding the new arrivals for a while..LOL! I laughed my butt off when you mentioned how during the winter, the rooms are getting greener and greener, and fuller and fuller! Andrew...See MoreHome that has been smoked in for 20 years
Comments (19)These are great comments, thanks. I'm going to talk to a remediation specialist tomorrow and see what he thinks. The lady is fine with me having anyone come to the property and check it out. It really might be nuts to attempt two projects at once... however there are some snags / red tape with our larger property (building rights and stuff) that may take a couple of months to sort out. The GC thinks we could knock this renovation on the tiny house out relatively quickly, within 6 weeks; even replacing drywall. We're still pricing everything out though, so that might be the deciding factor. I'm torn between wanting to save money on rent while building and not wanting to get involved with a project that might end up being a nightmare. So hard to know. I'd be willing to take it on if a) the red tape with the county really does sap up another 3 months of prime building time, and b) if the amount invested would still save us a bundle on rent, and we'd be able to get something out of it at the end. Tearing it down is definitely an option. The land is priced so that even if you tore down the house and did nothing, the price per acre is still fabulous. And it has 3 water rights which are worth their weight in gold. This is part of why I feel bad about taking advantage. If she had this listed anywhere (we found her by accident, touring our property) it'd be gone in a hot minute, smokey house and all, just for the land. One option might be to tear it down and rebuild on the existing foundation. The footprint is much smaller than our house plans, but the GC still thought there was value there, the electrical, septic, and gas are all in, and the foundation (crawl space) could be altered to accept our home. The last kicker is this piece butts up to the north side of our property! We'd be adding ten more acres to our existing land. It could definitely function as a guest house, housing for a farmhand......See MoreHouse has been on market for 40 days
Comments (24)qdog -- Not at all. I'm suggesting that if sellers lowered their prices they would see more buyers. I do agree with you that the term "priced correctly" is realtorese. It means that the agent has no more idea than the seller what price would actually bring in a buyer within a reasonable time-frame. It's actually quite hard to guess at the market value of a house when both prices and numbers of sales have been declining for some time now. Realtors customarily try to find "comparables" to suggest a listing price. But when sales are few, the comparables become rare. And when prices are in decline, the few comparables are likely obsolete. House prices in the Detroit area (one of the worst housing markets in the country) have now dropped to the level of 10 years ago and guess what? Houses are starting to sell. In fact, I know a young man who just bought his first house and the seller said that he sold it for about the same price he bought it for 10 years ago. Is that a "fair price"? A "correct price"? A price that amounts to "giving it away"? I don't know, but I do know that it is the price that got it sold, however painful it may have been for the seller....See MoreEgg Prices Drop.

Comments (17)Thank you Zalco. chisue, NW Oklahoma has been in drought for about 2.5 years. The panhandle is starting to resemble the Dust bowl days. Huge cracks in the ground, dust piling up against fence rows and roads. It's frightening! Kansas is experiencing the same. My SIL is the 4th generation of family farmers. They decide what they plant. I haven't clue how they come to this decision. He & DD recently bought out his Dad on the family farm. Now it's all on his shoulders. What is disturbing is that anytime land goes up for sale in that area -- usually by auction, the amount it sells for is unrealistically high and not purchased by locals. My kids have been able to purchase more land, but it's through private sales, the owners sell out because their kids don't want to farm. and because the owners don't want the conglomerates buying it. Farming ain't for the faint of heart, nor for sissies. Harvest is next month. The state has gotten a lot of rain the last 2 weeks. Their area hasn't gotten quite as much. Any wheat that survives will be stunted and not the best grade. While many of the fields are a total loss, there are a couple that may have some yield. SIL purchases crop insurance. It'll pay out -- at least enough to where they break even. There are some farmers that don't buy insurance, and they'll loose out completely. Probably more info than you wanted... LOL My kids live in the red area at the top of the state....See MoreMichael Hilber
