Manual Of Tropical And Subtropical Fruits - by Wilson Popenoe
Order this book.....if you are going to grow cool stuff like loquat, guava, papaya, and fruits you most likely never heard of! Good reading on a
raining day (in Baja?).

In the Missouri Ozarks I'm growing Mangos, Limes, Meyer Lemons, and Banana. Don't get many mangos or bananas I guess it's more of a vanity issue, but
we have several fresh squeezed margarita parties each year. All my tropicals are grown it 20 gal containers and spend the winter in a solar greenhouse
house that uses no external energy (other than the sun), and keeps the plants above freezing even when outside temps fall to -10 F.

Okay... the easiest way to post photos on Nomad is to:
1) Set up an account on Photobucket.com (it's free) to store duplicates of your photos, and resize them for message board posting).
2) Once on photobucket, pick the 'more options', where you click to upload images off your PC, and pick a REDUCED size:
More Upload Options
Resize my images to:
Tiny ( 100 x 75 ) 1280 x 960
Small ( 160 x 120 ) 1600 x 1200
Medium ( 320 x 240 ) 2048 x 1536
*Large ( 640 x 480 ) 2592 x 1944
15" screen ( 800 x 600 ) 3648 x 2736
17" screen ( 1024 x 768 ) 4000 x 3000
1 megabyte file size
2 megabyte file size
As you can see, I pick 'Large', so the photos are not sooo big on Nomad. I have also used '15" screen' as a max. size for most detail, like on maps.
The standard upload size (if you don't pre-pick one) is 1 meg. and that stretches the forum pages wide and is over the 800 x 600 pixel size limit
request.
3) Pick photos to upload to photobucket.com from your PC.
4) Now, at each of your photos on photobucket are links for sharing that photo. You want to choose this one:
IMG for bulletin boards & forums
Just copy the URL given for the photo, with your mouse (copy, paste).
Here is one: [IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc212/DavidKier/IMG00024.jpg [/IMG] (space added so you can see text... no space and you would
see the photo)
Any photo can be shown on Nomad if [IMG] is before the URL (a URL is a 'link' that starts with http://) for that photo and [/IMG] is after (no
spaces).
5) Paste that entire link on Nomad in the area where you type a post... You can post several photos, put captions or text below or between them, or
just photos (I double space the links to leave a bit of space between them.
That's it!
Photos can be posted onto Nomad (using the Browse button) directly from your PC's files only if the photo is UNDER 50 kb in size. Before Photobucket,
I would duplicate any photo I wanted to show on Nomad and reduce the size from the original... took some time!

Nosotros mangueros se recomendarle....
Erect a clear plastic tarp tent around the sapling. Ideal temperature 80 - 90F
Use 17-17-17 fertilizer. Soil should be neutral. Tree will produce maximum fruit between ages of 5 and 10 years.
Yayden variety preferable, manila needs too much sun.

I think even with the greenhouse its still too cold for the Mangos in the winter...
I have a friend who grows 30 different Citrus in Fort Worth the same way---its doable but more work than planting in the ground. I figure as long as
I'm in Texas I'll just be lazier about it and grow okra and sweet potatoes!
