Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

Very slow growing, and not very large tree at maturity.

What do you consider "not very large"? I've seen plenty of Japanese maples that were at least 40' tall and pretty wide.

There are many varieties, all different heights and growth patterns. I think the one pictured is a laceleaf maple, which develop twisted trunks and an umbrella shape rather than upright. Mine is over 40 years old, a little over 6 feet tall and about 10 feet wide.

Congratulations! You know you’re living the dream when your own tomatoes will cover the BLT with one slice!

Start of the first BLT.

The slice was 1/2" thick.

You need to grow rectangular tomatoes so you can cover the whole slice

Or just grow an even bigger tomato. When in PA, I grew tomatoes that you could get two BLTs from one slice.

The variety I got, had some info on the tag. If I recall correctly, said it would not be over 15 feet tall.

Well it has started .... hornworm season. Haven't looked at the plants for a couple of days. Today I pulled off one very small, one small, one medium and two HUGE hornworms. Gotta go out with the blacklight tonight and see how many I missed.
