JL - In Reading Ekka's post it says " annual precipitation of 1000-4000mm, annual temperature of 20-27 deg C (with no frost), and soil pH of 4.5-7.5." Translation to non Metric 1000-4000mm= 39.32"-157.25" (I guess its a SERIOUS rain forest there) 20-27 C= 68 - 80 F Jacksonville averages Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 64° 67° 74° 78° 84° 88° 91° 90° 87° 80° 74° 66° Avg Highs 40° 44° 48° 54° 62° 68° 71° 71° 68° 58° 50° 44° Avg Lows 52° 55° 61° 67° 74° 78° 82° 81° 78° 70° 62° 55° Mean Avg. Precip. 3.3 in 3.9 in 3.7 in 2.8 in 3.6 in 5.7 in 5.6 in 7.9 in 7.1 in 2.9 in 2.3 in 2.7 in Degrees in Fahrenheit The blocking is off a little, cut and paste doesn't translate sometimes It looks like the watering would be the biggest chore --------------------------------------------------------------------- ".....mix cabismo resin with honey and give it to the newborns, to impart knowledge and ward off hexes. The gum is also used for treating venereal diseases ....." Makes you smarter, Treats VD AND wards off Hexes .... Forget burning it in your car. I wonder what it smells like? Bees pollenate it, would you get honey that tastes like Hydrocarbons?
