If you could grow one thing, which currently you are unable to because of price, where you live, it's size, a black thumb what ever, what would you grow?

Well, I sent for some of the painted eucalyptus seeds, even though it said they can't withstand frost. I'm going to try growing them in pots and bringing them into the greenhouse in the winter.

CHERRIES! CHERRIES! CHERRIES! Sweet Cherries -like stella or some other sweet kind.

I've wanted blue berries for years also, but they always die on me no matter how I alter the soil. I was told it was because they couldn't handle the elevation? I've started growing Saskatoons (I think they're also called wolf berry) and they are wonderful and like a milder blueberry, but ripens earlier in the summer.

My list of stuff I want to grow is endless....
I live in the wrong zone -the things you do for dependable work
I'm interested in trying to grow a small nectarine in a pot and bringing it inside like Yvonne is doing.

I have found so many of the things I grow for the tortoises, also are enjoyed by other things. The mulberries mainly are tons of birds and bees.

My mulberry tree attracts lots of critters in my yard too. ..

What a spaz! (the dog NOT YOU--er hum!) I want to give him a big hug around that long outstretched neck! So is he/she actually eating the mulberries or just chewing on a branch? What a great photo! I love it, Delilah!

I have been curious about your pretty artificial lake! I'm thrilled you posted pictures. Your descriptions have always sounded like a little piece of paradise and it's so fun to see it's TRUE! Thanks, Puffy!

I intend to bug you with tutorial questions later on

You go right ahead, I love to teach people.

Also, what zone are you in? Because I have a Cherry tree in Zone 4, but it's for pies, so it's tart.
