Any success on the plants..

[hooligal]

Not yet. I went to Maku'u on Sunday, but Marvin wasn't there (probably wanted to stay dry!!). I found a lead in Waipio + I'm checking at BIAN this weekend!

Both of my Southern HighBush blueberries are growing happily & throwing a few berries. The Pomegranite is growing nicely, but not sure it'll fruit. I'm down in mostly warm & dry-ville (Kapoho).

So there's a a hope there?

Stillhope, we have an acerole cherry (from Plant it Hawaii) & a peach (from a local lady that had it at a church sale) that are in the ground less than a year. The cherry produced a bowlfull while still in the potting bag & just started blooming again. The peach looked as if it might not make it, but is leafing out again, so it may have a seasonal leaf drop, or got hit by a bug & is coming back... as did my seedless grapes.

Carey, what's your elevation? I'd kill for grape & peach!

we haven't been able to plant our brown turkey fig and tangelo trees that we purchased from the BIAN sale last week. hopefully, sometime this week.
our avocado tree seems to be holding up, though.

Carey,give your peach some treats (treets ?).
And don't disclose your elevation to hooligal if you want to be alive![]

LOL, that came out wrong! Let me try again...cherries and peaches are two of my favorite fruits. Grapes, well... I like raisins!

Hey,Hooligal,any success on buckwheat?
I hope,someone will grow and i can buy on the regular basis (my lot is too small to grow grains).

[hooligal]

yes, my test plot (2' x 2') produced buckwheat. It even re-seeded & is growing another round as we speak.
