Wallaby, Not carissa, it is called spiral jasmine, it never has a name on it, they are not big on botanical correctness here. I can dig up one of my volunteer limes and send it, a nice 6-8 incher perhaps? Just remember that is hates temps below 50F.

Pat, the berries are not strongly flavored, like a bland gooseberry? With a hint of cherry. And mango is eaten green w/ salt and pepper here. Tastes good too! I can't wait for the avo's to soften, I love them sliced w/slices of tomato and vinegarette dressing. We have a hard summer here, but with benefits.

I would love to stop by and see your garden and have a sip or two of your wine. Maybe next year :-}, ahh wishful thinking. I would love to go the Chelsea Flower Show again, someday. I will have to dig thru my old slides from 92 and get some on digital format and show them off! London was so very peaceful compared to all the things that happened in Paris. And those crazy smokers in Amsterdam! Berlin was changing, but everybody still drinks alot of beer I would bet. I asked for a beer at the hotel desk my 1st night and the young lady told me 'You know you can have more than one'. I think one is enough was my reply with a big grin. Had the time of my life, most of the time, except for religion zealots Europe was very enlightening.

Here is the only digital photo I have of Europe, this was a good day in the park..
