Re: Any suggestions?

Hi Larry,
It's me!  Glad to hear my satsuma is producing.  I miss all the wonderful
citrus and tropical plants you can grow in Texas.  I'm now is frigid
Wisconsin with about a 90-day growing season.  The apples are terrific here,
though.  And, lettuce and sugar snap peas are superb.  But, we won't talk
about melons or peppers.  Not enough heat.
Doreen
