a bowl of prince ranier cherries

beautiful as always benny

Prince Ranier cherries. It thinks she is grapes.

Thankks for your beautiful compliment Hersirsmiley.

You make me green with envy! They look so good, but we can't grow them here!

All of these fruits are in one santa rosa plum tree. I grafted different cultivars in that tree evidenced by different shapes and sizes of the fruit two years ago that I got from the CRFG meetings many of which are European plums..

Thank you skeet.

Hi Benny, your green thumb is working well for you
Is that your new sunroom addition in one of those pics... did you do that yet?

Patty:
Something came up that I was not able to do the sun room.
First I saw and bought a Pergola from Costco and with little innovation , I got it installed higher to accommodate my bananas and citrus. See picture below. I now have my priced citrus and bananas planted there like my clemenule, bicol calamondin, seedless kishu and some other tropical tree like cherimoya.




I put a partition and changed the soil and before the cold weather sets in I will enclose the pergola with glass sidings and glass top.To do thisI bought a greenhouse at Costco which I will improvise to make it fit. I also bought many sliding glass doors at the recycling place to finish the project.

Now in front of these 2 bananas I am contemplating to install a glass roof 15 foot high to plant my tall bananas. Here, it is an ideal place because there are lots of sunshine and next to the house walls. I have also just ibuillt a covered patio with shingled roof on a new house I just bought so I have now experienced in installing them. I learned as I go along.

Now, all I need is TIME. (LOL).

And here's some of my citrus and bananas planted in my pergola plat as of 7 11 08
