Could you replace the apricots with plums, and add in tangerines, nectarines, and perhaps a pineapple or two? Oh, and I love salted, boiled peanuts. And why wouldn't I? After all I do live in , what is euphemistically(?), pejoratively (?) known as, the land of fruits and nuts.
just buy a pineapple, cut the top off about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and plant it in a 10 inch flower pot keep the tray full of water and in 18 short months you should have a pineapple when you eat that one save the top and repeat

I do that. Right now I have one that has been growing for almost a year. I also plant avocado seeds and they grow nicely for me.....they do not bloom nor give me any fruits, but the trees are beautiful. I have done the same with other seeds....we always have seeds and I plant them. Wow, I thought I was by myself in this unusual hobby.

I have an avocado about five feet tall in a 14 inch pot that I grew from a seed I can't remember if it's 3 or 4 years old I guess I've planted a couple dozen seeds but only one grew we have a guava tree we bought from home depot that is about 7 feet tall two years ago we got one guava smaller than a ping pong ball this year we got five we set the pot down stairs about three months ago and a humming bird built a nest in it and raised two babies they just flew away yesterday the first time I tried the pineapple we got one the size of a gulf ball the one I'm growing now has been growing for two years it quit once then starter again but no pineapple yet

I could only suggest you "not give up the ship" yet. Who knows what may t***spire in the future. Perhaps a larger container might help. I don't have a "green thumb" so any suggestion I make is probably moot.

Good to know, Alex. However, I don't believe my appetite or patience would be willing to wait 18 months between servings of pineapple. I will go the traditional route, and get my pineapple at the local grocery.:wink: :mrgreen:
AuntiE, obviously, won't send me any. :lol:

Thank all of you for your kindness, and charitable posts. However, it does not assuage the shame I still harbor toward myself. It was inexcusable of me.

If that is indeed true, then we could quite possibly be derrière twins.
