This is stupid, but I'm going to go get one of the window unit air conditioners and install it.

It's going to be in the 80s today, but into the 20s for a low Monday and Tuesday.

This time of year is very annoying. I need the AC now, but will be running the heaters most of the week.

“They only had 7 or 8 Of the patio type(container)”

They only had two and neither was acceptable. They were way tall and where they were grafted, the trees bent badly to the side. Wouldn't be able to get either one in the car and they were bad being bent the way they were.

There was an excellent Page Mandarin Orange of the right size for a patio, just measured it and it's 3 ft. 9 inches tall, straight trunk, no thorns, and bunches of buds all over it getting ready to bloom. It says it has “medium size, juicy fruit, easy to peel” and directions to use a container for it as did the lemon. I think the pot it is in is the right size so I don't plan on transplanting it. I suppose a colorful pot to put the black one in, would look nicer on the deck.

Back when I was considering a patio fruit tree, I wanted oranges but I could not find anyplace that could send them to Texas and, at that time, neither Lowes or Home Depot had them, so I gave up, thought they were not for here, and went to the Meyer Lemon tree.

A very nice man helped me and he put one of the Meyer Lemons in the cart, then I changed my mind because that tree just didn't do it, gave up on that and found the orange one, so he took out the Lemon and put in the orange.

I looked at herbs, and only got Italian Oregano. I have two types of basil grown from seed so didn't need theirs.

Looked for Cilantro everywhere they might have it, none there. I want that for sure.

I got five Lantana as they had gotten more in - these are the ones I wanted that have the variegated colored blooms.

HA! HA! FOUND STEVIA! Bought one! This is a broad leaf Stevia. The one, sockmoney, you sent me has small leaves and a stick trunk. This one is a soft plant with no trunk. I don't know the difference between the two plants.
