Heck i get fruit flies if i leave any fruit out for long. 17. April 2005, 22:34:00 Subject: Re: nobleheart:Some varities do but you will find that most don't. I've got 2 varities brown turkey & mrs williams and they don't need the wasp. But you'll find plenty of wasps around if the fruit is left to rippen as they go for the sweet flesh. 17. April 2005, 22:23:58 I have a neighbour woh is growing figs in a greenhouse attached to his garage.dont figs need fig wasps to produce fruit? 17.

April 2005, 09:02:15 Subject: Re: Re: Foxy Lady: well I dont think so as they say it may go pink :( The lemon takes the real sweet taste of the banana off....I might add that when you boil all that together it gets VERY thick...you spread it like peanut butter...it is that sort of consistency 11. April 2005, 08:57:15 Subject: Re: Re: BerniceC: I take it the lemon juice is to keep the bananas from turning brown? 11. April 2005, 07:18:32 Subject: Re: Re: Foxy Lady: yes I got 3 small jars of jam from that recipe :) 11. April 2005, 06:34:00 Subject: Re: BerniceC: Ok but i'm curious do you can them in jars?

April 2005, 04:00:08 Subject: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern BerniceC: yes,it was a tas tree fern.maybe it was a little thin because it was raised indoors. 9. April 2005, 01:32:59 Subject: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern nobleheart: are you sure that is the Tassie tree fern? its trunk is a bit thin...
have a look at this site...it is fairly comprehensive and you will see what I mean about the trunks. http://www.tasferns.com/photo.asp 9. April 2005, 00:28:02 Subject: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern nobleheart: Wow! *wonders if that is my first hubby's house* My daughters said he had a 20 thousand dollar tree he got from the rain forest to put in his foyer.. yet, he complained having to part with 350.00 a month for two children for childsupport.. go figure.. << < 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 > >> |
