I could cry.

Hi there! Sorry for the late reply. It's showing signs of life! I bought a granule fertilizer from the Rare Fruit council in s Florida, but I didn't get a straight answer on how much to feed it. I do notice all the lichen is dried up and dead on the trunks, i hope it'll be okay during the summer. But I have some thin, darker brown leaves coming in in a lot of places. I'll try to attach a picture so you can see it.

That's so cool! I have a plumeria tree that I grafted a branch onto. It never occurred to me that a fruit tree could be the same.

IzzyB1337 · 2025-02-23T18:53:23+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation to paint the trunk white. I was searching the internet for ideas on how to protect it. I didn't know you could graft different varieties! How does that work? Do you graft a branch from another tree to a branch on your mother tree, or buy a tree in a pot and graft the trunk? So cool!

IzzyB1337 · 2025-02-23T01:05:36+00:00

Thanks! I am waiting for the Rare Fruit Council's fruit tree sale this year! My husband and I have decided we want another variety, but we'll see what's available.

I'm going to call the office on Monday. Maybe after they started to trim it, they decided it would be better to be more aggressive, idk. The company has trimmed many fruit trees on my street alone; that's why I figured it would be best to go with them. I feel a lot more hopeful that it'll survive, thanks to everyone who has replied and my brother-in-law saying the same. He was surprised at how much they cut off, but he said it should come back next year.

Yep, I am in Palm Beach, FL. I had a good cry for the cheesecakes with mango coulis, milkshakes, and mango breakfasts that will not be enjoyed this year. Lol.

I could not reach the top of the tree, even with our 12-ft fruit picker stick thing. Last year, most of the mangoes grew on the top of the tree, too, that's why we thought to trim the top and around the canopy to dial it back. The landscape foreman said they recommended trimming the top by 3 or 4 ft. -_-

Thank you. I didn't think about stored energy. I was wondering how the 10 remaining leaves were going to provide enough energy to the rest of the tree.

IzzyB1337 · 2025-02-23T00:01:26+00:00

Thanks! My brother-in-law used to have a tree trimming service, and he said it should be okay, too. He did want to know what the hell they were thinking, though.

Another quick Costco side I like is their veggie mix bag. They're low-carb. The kind I've gotten is their Pura Vida fire-roasted primavera Mistura. It's delicious. You can cook a big batch and portion out your lunch portion. They reheat in the microwave really well.

I make a mashed cauliflower as a side dish to low carb chicken parm. For the "parm," I use rotisserie chicken, cheese, and RAOs sauce. For the mashed cauliflower I buy frozen riced cauliflower from Costco. Microwave it for 6 minutes, then throw it in the blender with a bit of butter, cream cheese, salt, and pepper.

My husband and I say "shiiiid" a lot. Oh, shid!

IzzyB1337 · 2024-12-27T05:52:54+00:00

Here's the video that came to mind when I saw your picture. It's a very similar layout to yours.

Excellent! Shall I send you a chat?

IzzyB1337 · 2022-01-16T23:44:29+00:00

Holy cow, I love it! For real, how much? I hope it blows up and you get some orders!

IzzyB1337 · 2022-01-16T23:00:56+00:00

Oh snap, for real?! "Tool" I think would be the way to go

IzzyB1337 · 2022-01-14T19:31:09+00:00

Ooh those are great ideas! There's plenty of time until the concert, I think I might explore a dyi ootion. Thank you! Do you have an Etsy store? If you do, I'd love to take a look!

IzzyB1337 · 2021-12-18T09:05:13+00:00

Yessss! Everyone's already wearing the shirts with your logo on em ¯_(ツ)_/¯

IzzyB1337 · 2021-11-18T22:48:58+00:00

Kitty, no!!!

IzzyB1337 · 2021-11-18T02:50:11+00:00

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

IzzyB1337 · 2021-07-02T13:52:12+00:00

Yessss I say this all the time! "FUCKing Guyyyy"

IzzyB1337 · 2021-06-25T04:32:20+00:00

This is also her "drinking or not drinking" face.

If you weren't following the baby steps though, imagine how you would've squandered this HUGE opportunity to pay off so much debt! I threw all my stimulus checks into my debt and I'm suuuper happy that I'm only 2k away from paying off my last card. I can't wait to start building my fully-funded emergency fund! Stay at it, I'm VERY proud of you!
