Foxy Lady:  We can still plant stuff here.  I'm doing some research on what to plant in the fall.  I'm talking about shrubbry and flowering things (as a barrier between properties).   I have a lot to learn because I really don't bother knowing about plants and other growing things.  I'm going to do my first every cherry tree pruning in a few weeks too ;)

ajtgirl:Well it's native to Australia, and there are a lot of different varities and cultivars. It does extremelly well in high temp, poor soil & low rainfall areas.

skipinnz:

Why do you think grevillia would do well there?
I believe it is part of the gypsophilia family (commonly known as baby's breath)
Can it withstand extreme heat, high humidity and very little rain?

Mousetrap:
You are correct
I actually grew up in West Texas where they grew cotton, corn, sorghum, and cattle  LOL

But southern Texas is very different.  It's practically tropical and arid and I wonder if one can grow daffodils and tulips there at all without the dormant winter period.

Also, what type of ground covers thrive in that heat?

Looks like Fall is on it's way were dropping down into the 40's now.We got our garlic drying and most of the garden picked except some tomatoes.I did get lots of beet greens and little beets .Guess we need to work that area better since the soil is clay.

discovered this veggie this weekend,thanks to some japanese friends:

Chinese spinach = hiyu = hon-toi-moi = yin choy = een choy = amaranth = hsien tsai

Notes: This is similar to spinach, only it's prettier, tastier, and more nutritious.tastes maybe a litle like asparagus.Look for it in Asian markets.

amandalove: I agree with what skipinnz said about drying them. My Dad would spread them on a screen for air circulation until the outer skin dried. Then they can be handled and cracked.
They really are quite good!

Относно: Re: Black Walnuts
amandalove:Juglens nigra is mainly grown for timber, but nuts are edible, most people grow the european walnut for the nuts. They are worth the effort, as a mature tree will produce quite a few kilograms of nuts. Once the fiberous skin rots off they need to be air dried for a few weeks. Then cracked ready to eat & there shouldn't be any staining if they are dried properly

I have a black walnut tree in my yard that is mature enough to have the nuts. Several people have said oh just leave them for the squirrles they are messy to work with and get brown stain everywhere when you try and crack them. My Question is "Doese anyone here have personal experience with them? And is it just as they say not worth the effort?

Ponds are so peaceful with the trickle of the water going in the background.
I'm sure you will love it.
Invite Mousetrap over sometime and he can use it as a swimming pool!
