		<title>Winter sucks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard for me to garden in the cold months.  Everything goes to seed, but.. Well, it&#8217;s weird here. Just like in the tropics, plants bloom, fruit, then stay dormant for a short while then do it again. Bananas, Avocados. and all kinds of trees and fruits are blooming right now, yet it&#8217;s hard to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stoatmax.wordpress.com&blog=3704008&post=146&subd=stoatmax&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey folks, one word:
School. Anyways&#8230;.
My two best papayas, I&#8217;ve really pampered them.


My mango seed is sprouting, finally. It looked dead but it has a nice root and tiny sprout.

An Avo seedling, sprouted from a seed from our tree.


Lychee seed germinating!

		<title>Water feeding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://www.earthlypursuits.com/GardenTips/tip_pumpkin.htm
Allegedly, if you insert one end of a candlewick in water, and the other in the stem of a cucurbit, the water wicked up into the stem will feed the fruit and increase it&#8217;s size, moisture, and quicken ripening.
I&#8217;m currently experiment with this on a crimson sweet watermelon. I&#8217;ve used a piece of 100% cotton. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stoatmax.wordpress.com&blog=3704008&post=132&subd=stoatmax&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Stevia!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stevia is an herb that can be used for a natural sweetener. It&#8217;s calorie free, Carbohydrate free, and has a zero glycemic index. It&#8217;s hardy as a perennial to zone 9. It&#8217;s been grown in tropical conditions for centuries, and was only recently discovered.
In it&#8217;s concentrated form, it&#8217;s 250-300 times sweeter than sugar.

It&#8217;s a shame [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stoatmax.wordpress.com&blog=3704008&post=128&subd=stoatmax&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
