Meyer lemon tree<<<

They make a nice house plant.

I forgot to click on a Yahoo alert that showed up as an ad /alert on the top of the page, it said that the citrus crops in California has a disease and please do not move them, so now is not the time to buy citrus plants.

There was also a Meyers type lime tree that I grew in pots.

I once listed a house in Kingman for a family and he had a fair sized greenhouse, maybe 40 x 20’, half underground, that he grew nothing but citrus trees in.

But the ad that I saw this morning, pleased me.

It said “Give a baby goat for Christmas”, and had a cute picture of a baby goat.

There will be a big surge in survival seekers, as on the Coast to Coast Am program last night, his guest was saying to take your money out of the stocks and banks and buy storage food and other needed items....

I did not hear the entire program, only a few minutes.

I will look to see if they have a podcast of that show. If you have the bandwidth, podcasts are a great way to listen, as you can back up if you missed something, pause, etc.

Have you ever heard of this:

What drove a man to carve out 10 acres of underground gardens?

Baldasare Forestiere spent 40 years of his life, from 1906 until his death in 1946, carving the many pathways, skylights and rooms out of the earth. He did this all by hand and with no blueprints. Interesting reading about this place can be found here:
Forestiere Underground Gardens

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
California Historical Landmark No. 916 FORESTIERE UNDERGROUND GARDENS - Here, beneath the hot, arid surface of the San Joaquin Valley, Baldasare Forestiere (1879-1946) began in the early 1900s to sculpt a fantastic retreat. Excavating the hardpan by hand, he created a unique complex of underground rooms, passages, and gardens which rambled throughout a ten-acre parcel. His work is being preserved as a living monument to a creative and individualistic spirit unbounded by conventionality.

Recap
Economic Meltdown & Solutions
Appearing for the first three hours, financial advisor Catherine Austin Fitts discussed the economic crisis and possible solutions. $4 trillion has been pulled out of the economy, she said, and the big mystery is where did it go? At the core, we've experienced a financial coup d’état-- assets have been stripped out of communities in order to make people more dependent on Washington and centralized government, she asserted. "We're watching the control and consolidation of cash flow."
Now the Fed and Treasury are putting trillions back into the economy by printing money-- that isn't going to solve our financial problems, she commented. The current bailout of Citibank is just enough to keep it going, but there's no assurance that'll be enough, Fitts stated. These bailouts are like "steroids"—they're not building real economic value.
Fitts proposed a path back to economic vitality: People should put their money into local economies and avoid investing in corrupt institutions. Networking with neighbors, embarking on DIY projects, and buying from local farmers are ways to enhance local wealth. She also suggested young people be given a toolkit for concrete skills such as learning how to build homes and grow food. Additionally, wealth could be created by bringing forward energy and health technology that's been suppressed.
