I don't have a green thumb at all. I can't even keep a small potted basil plant alive. I kept forgetting to water it. lol The baby makes noise when he's hungry so he gets fed but the plant is pretty silent so it gets ignored lol[/quote]

No worries! You are apparently great at growing babies. Surely that is a more valuable gift

That's too bad about all of the rain. When I was down in Louisiana I was amazed by all of the lakes. It sure is green down there!

But you're right your son is the most important thing! He's cute! My brother, down here has three little kids (A son and two daughters) and it's always fun to get together with them and see how fast the kids are growing

And since today is my day off and I'm at home working on getting some stuff in for a home loan (I'm buying a place with about three quarters of an acre!) I thought that I would take a break and post some pictures of the garden at my parents place here in Encinitas Ca (Just north of San Diego).

This year -- for the first time -- I'm growing pineapples! Yes, pineapples! I planted them in the ground a couple of years ago, neglected the poor things -- hardly watering them -- and now they are getting pineapples. How cool is that?

We also grow tropical fruits -- like cherimoyas! They have a sweet custard like flesh on the inside that you scoop out with a spoon.

Of course I also grow a big regular vegetable garden. But it's just in the beginning stages for this year. However I thought that you guys who live outside of California would like a picture of the bougainvillea that I'm growing on a retaining wall at my parents place (The place I'm buying is level! ). The plants growing on the fence at the top of the wall are grapes. Does anybody know how to "gib" the grapes?

The "pink" bougainvillea will turn more "orange" as it gets older. I like the orange better.[/quote]
may i move in?
