Phoenix Tropicals Gardening

Just bought an Improved Meyer Lemon from Lowe's (they have some awesome sized citrus trees for about $40-50)


They also have small seedlings (or air layered grafts?) in the peat pot's on sale for 50 cents!!! (meyer lemon and washington navel orange)

so now my backyard is getting to the point where I'm running out of room.

Nice. Welcome to the "I can't get enough fruit" club.

haha yeah the only problem now is that when planting its a lot harder to figure out ideal planting locations, because they are already taken up!

I want so many more fruits, but having to figure out where to plant them is difficult because my backyard is north facing so the house will block majority of the sun come winter time when the sun moves south..

Millennium, can u post pics of your garden?

HAH whats left of it?

I moved and dug up what I could and have everything in pots now... but alas.. ill be moving again and this time to the pacific northwest where my beloved tropical fruit wont survive

I think eventually up there in going to get into mulberries, marionberries, and cherry trees... giving up the mangos will be rough though

Ill see if I can take some tomorrow, since im going to be unloading my plants on craigslist anyway

Let me know what u got, I'm interested on buying more trees to my collection

Mullsie - where are you located now....I've forgotten where you said you were moving before....

Maybe you should get a greenhouse and keep some of your sub-tropicals.
That's what I would do.....
