We've Moved
Angry Duck
This duck is pissed off at me. Why? Well every spring him and his wife spend a few weeks in my pool. They have a standing reservation for the time between the ice melting and before I open the pool. They swim, they sit in the sun, they order pina coladas and enjoy my hospitality. Last year we never opened the pool so they enjoyed an extended visit. This year though, the pool is a mess and that means that their little New Jersey vacation spot is closed for renovations. Sorry ducks, no refunds. While your here though, feel free to enjoy the last patch of grass that the construction crew didn't rip out.

I live about a 1/2 mile from a little lake so the ducks are always flying around the neighborhood.
Actually, what I first noticed about your recent posts was what a bad case of out-of-zone envy you've got going - bananas, cannas & colocasia in NJ? The plants you are trying are even more tender than the ones I ordered from Plant Delights when I lived in Illinois.
In TX I have a good chance of getting bananas to live through the winter, and cannas grow like weeds here, so of course it is zone 10 that now intrigues me.
Good for you, Anthony! Dream big and have fun!
Sometimes (actually most of the time) my dreams are too big. But overwintering a few plants shouldn't be a problem. That's what the garage is for, my cars stay in the driveway. :)
Zone 10 sounds exciting with all kinds of plant growing options but I was born in NY and I think NJ is as far as I will go.
Most of our tomatoes are hard & green - at the first sign of orange I bring them inside to ripen. Otherwise the tree rats get them.
Two varieties new to us this year are Sunmaster and Polish Linguisa. Black Krim sounds delicious, but I doubt that it could survive here. The temperature has been stuck around 100ยบ with no rain, so the skins will be thick no matter what the variety.
Good luck with your 'maters!
