Hi,
Does anyone have any abiu fruit available to ship to CA? I don't mind if they come in not in the best shape.. just something for my wife to taste
I would very much like to taste one, but at least she can try first.. I told her since I can't take her to see the world now, but at least I can grow the world's fruits for her to eat (her mom just found out she has ovarian cancer last July; and her dad just had a second stroke just a few days ago) since I help send money to help her family out; She was also just recently in the hospital herself with our second kid (looks like a girl); I guess the baby was on her bladder and she couldn't pee for a few days since it was the Thanksgiving night and was hurting and couldn't walk, so we were stuck until Monday.. the ER doctors thought it was something else and didn't relieve her of the pain; On Monday,we went to the OBGYN and she said that her bladder was too full (2400cc) and if something wasn't done immediately, she could die; She had to get cathetered and stay that way for a whole week so her kidneys could rest (so I had to take a week off too); sorry.. I guess there's too much details for a site that's not related;
Basically, I never touched the garden stuff until I met her and for the past few years I have been growing all kinds of stuff and hoping that they will fruit so she can have a taste.. I have been learning my stuff from this forum and others; I told her that there are only two ways I will stop growing fruit: 1) either when I am gone or 2) she is gone; I have been on the forums and looking but it has been hard to find some fruit; I tried about 4 or 5 times with an abiu (have two growing tiny leaves now with a lot of fertilizer added - dr organics 9, dynagro and a few others), but it hasn't seem to take off; I guess it's because I'm in Southern CA, so it's near to impossible to grow; any other fruits you have that I'm not growing would be great too; I want her to have the very best in life that I can provide for her
Whatever you can throw in the box and still come out partly edible here would be great; Just tell me the cost of fruit and shipping and I can pay (within reason, of course); Thanks for listening;
Here's what I have growing at the moment (the unknowns I just put the general name since I don't know); nothing special compared to some of you guys; typical back yard (10,000+ sq ft with mostly slope, so I do a layered terrace; so far 3 rows of trees and a half (that's the guava on the top right); can you guys tell me what I'm missing that's good? My parents are growing persimmons, so that's out of the list =) The orange boxes on the left are for 'vegetables'; We have been growing some different kinds (lettuce, cabbage, peas, asian leafy stuff);
