Hello from the mountain regions of the PNW
I have developed a fascination, some might say unhealthy fascination (due to the cost) with growing stuff but it was either that or have tons of cats. I'm not a cat guy..
It started with me hating the grass tax shortly after buying my first house, having to pay to keep my lawn healthy. I systematically ripped out parts of it and put in various trees that either seemed like a good idea or made the place look less boring. It's a very 'schitso looking interpretation of an english garden, crap just spread everywhere it will fit although some think I actually had a plan in mind when I started it, I find that a little humorous. There's grape vines, peaches, plums, pears, roses, berry bushes, rare nut trees (a breeding pair). I recently started looking into what can I get away with growing that isn't remotely native to my region that could be done without too much babysitting that got me into testing out types of bananas, pineapple, mint, tropical jasmine, All spiceplants, Ceylon Cinnamon (a work in progress) and other oddities. The Yard and now more recently, my kitchen area, is a hot mess of plant on plant action. I tried vanilla bean orchids, they are horrible and contrarian to the core. I tried starfruit, didn't work so well, may do again some day. I haven't tried Jackfruit yet.. I may try chocolate plants at some point just for the hell of it. I ordered Nutmeg plants from India because they don't exist in the states in plant form although they can and should, there are enough regions that would support it, so it seems not unreasonable that some grower would take interest in it. The plants were not packed properly (idiot grower) and remained in customs/shipping too long so it dried up. I encountered this site purely by random while stumbling through links.

Re: Hello from the mountain regions of the PNW
WOW! Wish you were closer by - sounds just like us with all sorts of everything (most just weird and wonderful, but got a new one which is doing fantastically this year - the Ziziphus - delicious fruit and all our friends love it. No bugs, diseases (at least yet) and heavy bearers (sugar cane so far has been light, but Li very heavy and lang quite good. A three year old plant will give 20 plus pounds!! Everyone's favorite is sugar cane, followed by Li, then lang.
