lol, I'm such a noob!

Too bad my father in law isn't still alive - he had a huge grove in his back yard where he grew bananas, avocados, peppers of all kinds, star fruit trees, oranges, grapefruit, and many other things over the years that I've forgotten about. Unfortunately, back then I was not interested at all in growing anything (except my beer gut) so I never paid any attention to what he was doing back there. How foolish I was in my youth!
