Thanks for the welcomes, people.

I just have to run with this one, richard. I have a plant that went into the ground last year and wasn't frozen back during the winter (about half my plants were). It's girth is beyond any other plant I have, although it's crotch is only 4 feet high. Every day I passed it, I had to ask, what the heck is with you, afraid to fruit or what? The pod finally showed up through a mass of leaves from its giant pups a few days ago. This pod is giant compared to the 8 varieties which have flowered for me this year, easily 3 times the weight of any the other pods. So it gives double-row hands, just two so far. It's new to me, and of all things, it's Nam Wah, from Going Bananas just out of Miami, snuggled amongst the endless avocado orchards. So, I believe it.

I was in central CA four days ago. Had I known....... I must say, I couldn't believe how prolific those Roma tomatoes and almonds were. How do they get that much fruit on those plants? It's eerie.
