We have had 7.8 inches since saturday and so far everything draining well,I guess we dodged a bullit.hope everyone else fared well.

So far, have not seen any major mango drop but I will be spraying copper as soon as there is a break in the weather! This is by far the wettest "dry season" climate event that I can remember! The Jakfruit trees are growing so fast that you can almost hear it! My seedling tree has know set 25 fruits!     

Well thats awesome on the jakfruit,our jakfruit trees are also doing great this year,we will have more fruit than we can use thats for sure,glad your mangoes are doing well.we have had 3 major drops so far this year with the weather,seems it depends on the variety what does well, we certainly won't have anywhere the crop we had last year,but then again,for us anyway last years crop was exceptional.

Drive-thru tree sales today, pouring and people pulling up to buy trees! got to luv-it!!

Next week I am sure we will hear from South Fla water management that we are in a drought! As they pump out the canals!!

They are always crying wolf about drought and water conservation just so everyone thinks they are über important. But the less water you use the more they jack up the rates to cover all their expenses and salaries. They are the opposite of a lean government agency

AGREE 1000 PERCENT! The most useless govt agency in Fla and brother that says a lot!!

We're swimming in the yard over here. The rains are bad for the mangoes, but the gusty winds are worse.  Hang in there.....I'm thinking of doing gondola ride tours at my place.

Looks like mother nature giving a little payback for such a nice winter,more upset I can't get any work done,well here we go to another rainy season early! Bass fishing under the Mango trees!! lol

I believe the nursery growers supply sells  it for $19.95 a roll, the place where people were buying the grafting knifes,you might want to check them out three bucks is three bucks!

I believe this is the seller you are refferig to. This guy wants $12 for shipping. Take a look at the image, I added the item to cart and look at price. If you are local and pick up for $19.95, that is a great deal for you. Unfortunately, not all folks are local and these days if you have to drive 20 miles to get the tape, it costs you $8 just in gas. food for thought.

Yes ,thats them,didnt think the shipping would be so much, oh well just a thought

I will take a pkg of each,let me know where to send a check, I have replied to you before but never got a answer back<thanks Mike

Glad you guys enjoyed the video, John travels the country doing these videos,we were happy to host him and have gotten a phenomenal response from it, he has a fantastic following and it's cool to see what people do around the country,we all are definitely on the money when it comes to creating your own edible landscapes,it seems that this trend will continue for years to come and we will all be better for it! Again thank you all for your comments,this site is of great value to anyone who wants to grow their own food either as a hobby or pleasure,and the great part is we get to enjoy the "fruit of our labor" as the saying goes! We hope this summer to have an open house to invite all forum members to stop by and have a meet and greet! Maybe we will do it the week of the mango festival so some of the out of town members that are coming to the mango festival can come by and say hello! Again thanks to all,MIKE

Will do.

Sure looks like an edward,looks like mine,have some real small fruit too as well as mature ones,but the smaller fruit are dropping off so I dont think I will see a second crop.

our edwards will be ready in 2 weeks.real early this year.

Thanks for the mention, I think folks in south florida are lucky to have so many places to choose from and a group of people running these nurseries who are always willing to help. Unlike many other types of businesses,these nurseries all work well together in a world where knocking your competition is the norm. We are glad to be associated with a great group of proffesionals! Thanks again ,Mike Bender
