They totally would not grow in Iowa. We do have tomatoes, various peppers, eggplant, and cabbage in our garden though.Knittrippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604941588188554396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090831403111240801.post-69838625452708614092011-06-14T18:40:05.455-07:002011-06-14T18:40:05.455-07:00I see no flaw in your logic.

Every few months, he'll come back from a visit, completely weighed down with various fruits, veggies, and even honey. My mom's favorite is avocados. Eventually, I'm not entirely sure how, she got the idea to grow an avocado tree from the pitt of one of the ones Matt brought up for her. She stuck toothpicks in it and submerged part of it in water, and left it on our counter for a few weeks. Every time Matt would come over, he'd tease her about it. While we know there's no way that an avocado tree could survive the winters up here (North TX), my mom managed to get her little trees up to waist level. They're still in pots so she can bring them inside if it gets cold, but she enjoys throwing it in Matt's face that she managed to grow them period.lizzlizzlizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610427628172071122noreply@blogger.com
