They seem happy to climb as long as the tendrils can find something to grab onto. No flowers yet but lots of buds.

I am just discovering my passion for edible gardening; can't wait till I can really dig in and digest all of this ... 2 questions: Do you sell Mulberry Trees or do you know who, in this area, does? I have been searching and desperately want one, and what are your nursery hours when I could come pay a visit? Thanks! Wonderful site!

We are doing the same thing here in Polk county, a little south of you. Lakeland is the main city and is half way between Orlando and Tampa. Our group the Barefoot Gardeners, have a website: http://www.thebarefootgardener.org and a yahoo group to learn from each other. We also have a Facebook Page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#!/BarefootGardenersOrganicCentralFlorida?ref=search" rel="nofollow">Barefoot Gardeners Organic Central Florida.</a> We are inspired to get many Food Forests going, and several of us have small organic farms that feed us and others, sharing our extra bounty at the weekly Downtown Lakeland Farmers Curb Market. We have field trips and classes at the Farm strongly encouraging others to grow it themselves. This is so awesome! We are doing the same thing here in Polk county, a little south of you.

Many cactuses are native to the Eastern U.S. We don't know if this is one of them. We have two cactus species. The pictures here are all of the fruit producing type. Its leaves can be eaten, but why would you bother, when we have a thornless type you could grow also. The thornless one is O. cochenillifera. It is much easier to eat, but the fruits are undesirable.

The few survivors were sent off to live with Dan, to see if they can grow into trees and make nuts. I met someone at the Folk Fest who said they were going to send us more seeds. I hope they remember. Our chinquapins all died of a mysterious malady, possibly our soil was not sufficiently acidic.

Since the berries are on the trees now it would be a good one to try without waiting for spring. without bottling the sparkle won't last more than a day in the fridge but it doesn't last any longer than that in my house any way.
