Thanks y'all. I do like kumquats. I had one in Calif. that was very good!
This one is the sweetest of them all and will take colder temps.

I have only eaten them as a kid off the bush. But I will try different recipes when the tree produces enough fruit. Marmalade and jam would be for kumquats I think.

Tyohoid or syphilis

I know they loved treating syphilis with mercury. Brilliant. Don't remember them liking it for Typhoid.

The speed of the internet connections makes a difference with the speed of installing the new OS

not sure if he has left Diva we keep debating about getting a rider ours just cannot do it anymore one antique snapper she is great running but cannot go into cut dies and eats the belt boom .. the other snapper cannot get it running? won't turn over confused

As a widow, I am having a hard time figuring out all the yard stuff. I finally broke down and bought a ride mower- Troy Built - and wow it made a difference. I can mow the entire yard in less than an hour. I figured out the weed wacker, but not the edger. Did great with the pruning saw, but now my crepe myrtles have scale.
I have put out weed and feed in the dog yard and front yard, but am afraid to put it in the chicken yard (where most of the weeds are). I have a problem with nutsedge, apparently, and am scared of killing off the three tendrils of grass left in that yard or killing the chickens.
Last year, I hired TruGreen to treat my lawn and trees- well, all I saw he did was spend 7 minutes a month putting potash on the lawn- for a high dollar. I paid over $200 to have him aerate the lawn- it took less than 15 minutes for him to do it (the time of arrival and departure are on the ticket). I figured I could do as much good and keep my money this year. Well, maybe not.
