Much to my surprise, it actually grew! It's only about 5" tall and hasn't developed any leaves yet, but it's pretty cool.
Because of my living situation, I’m limited to container gardening. In addition to the avocado, I currently have, in different stages of growth: Ghost pepper; Carolina Reaper (current Guinness world record hottest pepper); various cherry tomatoes; dwarf tomato (full size tomatoes on a small plant); Chicago Sport Pepper; Medusa pepper; Edelweiss (no flowers yet); Venus Fly Trap; Yin Yang beans.
I did a web search on the calamondin and Lowes said they sometimes have them. At lunch I went by and didn’t find one. I did get a Meiwa Kumquat though, as I don’t have any kumquats and they’re pretty cold hardy.
US Navy Vet, I have a list of more than 500 hundred people that I ping every Friday afternoon, if you’d like to check out the activities so far this year.
Just put Weekly Garden Thread into the FR search box, and join in anytime you want.
JRF: Thanks for the ping.
I’m a little behind because of a busy schedule and rain every few days, but my potato patch is a foot tall and going like gangbusters, two of my sweetcorn patches are up a few inches, I got a couple hundred tomato plants in and well-established. A few other odds and ends are in and doing okay. Been eating greens for quite awhile now.

Here’s a link if you want to check out last Friday’s thread and update on some more gardening activities.
We went down to 55 last night, that is low for Memphis. We are usually cooking by now.
If it would quit raining I could get my roses treated. But we keep getting pop up rain. Got an inch the other day. Sprinkle yesterday.
