Hey Barb. been very busy. Athena my best Rott came down with bone cancer two years ago & I had to have her put to sleep in April 2010. Just about killed me. Only good thing that came out of it is that I got one of her grand daughters. Meet Cerra.
When I got the little shit. 😆
Palmettos are pretty much bullet proof here, and frost will do nothing to harm them. We may get a dusting of snow every ten years or so, but it is gone within a few hours. Myrtle Beach is two hours up the coast & does get quite a bit colder than we do. We have never had a freeze that killed the Palmettos... Palmettos survive all the way up into Virgina beach.

Oh, Laaz so sorry about Athena.
Daughter's dog died two nights ago, albeit a car, not cancer.
the awful heart-ache.
Wonderful pics....Cerra's GORGEOUS!!!!
Look at the hint of waviness in her fur, she's a 120 pound baby, all muscle.
So cute when she was tiny...
Thank you for the pics.
Hope all your citrus made it through that brutal cold a few years ago.

Great pics.
Cerra's THE protector for that child.
Wonderful!
Two Q's on citrus.
What's the correct N P K ratio for fertilizer?
I was given a 5-foot Grapefruit tree 2 years ago and haven't a clue how to treat it.
Acid pH? or alkaline soil mix?
Thanks.
Barb

Barb citrus uptake at 5-1-3. Ph would depend on the rootstock, a good start is in the range of 6 - 6.5.

Nice shots of MB!
I was down there about a month ago to visit some family. Could not resist hitting a nursey and bringing back some gems. Next time I may have to keep driving and visit Laaz.
