I'd forgotten what kinds of infestations you had; I vaguely remembered that you'd had every plague known to plantdom.<br /><br />Also, due to the early hour and the paranoia that you thought I'd introduced spider mites to your collection, I failed to catch the redundancy of "former past president."

I did taste the fruit, though (described in the linked post), which was disappointing. <br /><br />My plant is also producing buds again, though it started recently enough that it'll probably be a while before I have a new batch of berries.

At the same time, the first location I'd tried it in (east-facing window in the living room) was apparently too hot, because the first time I checked it to water after it mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-29734793215250238852013-02-22T06:00:01.697-08:002013-02-22T06:00:01.697-08:00Did you get a chance to taste one of your raw coff...Did you get a chance to taste one of your raw coffee beans?

As you know, I went crazy and bought 18 plants, one of which went to you. I have 15 left and not a single spider mite on any of them. Nor, for that matter, do I have any spider mites on the 50+ potted plants crammed into my sunroom. I find itGinny Burtonnoreply@blogger.com
