Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if these help lose weight? I think it is just like all the other ads that say it does, but really dont. Someone has called twice asking me to read about it and to let her know what I thought. Before I even looked into it I told her I didn't think they would work. If they really were some miracle diet drug then 1/2 the country would be on them and it would be all over the news. I have never even heard about them before. The instructions say "to exercise and eat a healthy diet" along with the pills. Those are the key words to me. You can take anything, but without diet and exercise you will not lose weight. Unfortunately, I suck at both of those. There also has been some man that has called her 3-4 times telling her how great they are and trying to get her to buy them. That right there is another red flag. Why is he having to push something that is so great?

Can I get some opinions from others who are not trying to sell these pills so I can show her? She wanted my opinion, but I guess it's not what she wanted to here. Hopefully others here have the same opinion as I do so she can see I am not the only one. Besides if they were a miracle pill I would be taking them.   
TIA

I have 33 Carrie mango seeds from today. They are mostly cleaned. I used the mango in the dehydrator. I will be at the 208 farm aka BRFVC place tomorrow morning. I will bring them with me if someone wants them or they can be picked up near 441 & 595 later in the day. I will be home on Sunday also. See my map.
If you have some mango budwood that I can use that would be great.

Does anyone eat cordia obliqua? Do you eat it raw, cook with it, make jams? Let me know what you think of this fruit.

I bought a Brogden from Home Depot. It was pruned or probably broken off at about 4' from the top of the pot. I chose this one since the trunk was more than twice the size of the other ones. I want to keep it to about 10'. Will this one grow to about that height or will I need to graft a different variety onto the main stem? Thanks.

Can I graft allspice onto a bay rum tree since they are in the same genus?

Does anyone know where I can find a red mulberry 'Fairchild' tree? I don't remember if Fairchild is everbearing or not,  but I would like a sweet everbearing mulberry tree. I read about the Fairchild and it sounded good.

Also, I am looking for a canistel tree that is not so dry.

Below is a fruit that I got. I don't know the name of it. It was past ripe.    The only thing I was brave enough to do was to stick the tip of my tongue on it. It was sour.     Those are the seedlings from it.
TIA

What is the best mix for repotting a Miracle Fruit in S. Florida? Also, any growing tips would be much appreciated.

Has anyone tasted the Magana mamey? How does it compare to the Pantin or Lorito taste wise? I know that it is big, but I am wondering about the taste. I just read that the Magana ripens unevenly, is less colorful and less sweet. I don't really care about the color, but I am not to keen on the uneven ripening and less sweet.

Which mango tastes the most like coconut or maybe pineapple?

I read that turpentine will get this sticky stuff off. We did not have any so Mike used Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover. That worked. Not sure if it is as good as turpentine since we have not tried it. What do you use to get rid of the stickies?

I am thinking of getting a macadamia nut tree. I am wondering what the opinions are of others growing them. Are they that much trouble to process to get to eat the nuts? I read about one with a paper thin shell, but the name eludes me at the moment. What are the better tasting ones? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
