Well finally--here is--sorry it took me so long to learn how to do this--thanks to you all for being so patient!!!

and BYW--I had just washed off all the leaves--I had what I think was spider mites?? (white teeny flying things) but the white dots stayed, don't know why--but the good news is, they are no longer there.

Ok--so I tried 2 times rotate the picture--(it is right in my photobucket album)--but when i copy it it comes out like this--so gang---lean over lol

boohoo. I wish mine had survived. I am definately going to try again this year tho. Most of mine were doing well at the beginning but they all ended up dying. But to all of you who were able to grow them, they are looking awesome and you have given me hope to try it again.

Nuria: I cannot tell you how often I have had mine in the sink spraying them down with water. And then there is the almost daily watering--not too much--not too little. then there is the taking them out--bringing them in and washing them down to get rid of the "pests". But they are so "unique" i think they are well worth my time.

next time though, I think I am going for just 3 plants--if they make it good--if they do not--well there is next time!! lol

If all continues to go well, I should have plenty of seeds to share--for sure!!!

none of my eggs split, i picked em off last night, cause the plant died off, my golden eggs that have been there the longest had lots of seeds sproutin inside em,, my golden eggs that were the second to longest were good seeds, only 1 or 2 seeds looked like they were startin to sprout, also cut the white-ish golden eggs n those seeds look good but im gonna do a seed test to find out if there realy good or not.

News Update----haha----ya gotta laugh, right?????

While I was in the hosptial-----
the DH took good care of the house, & the "puppy" (dante is 9).
he took good care of the trees & some of my bushes---
\ he took so so care of my flowers
BUT--he 'forgot' i had planted new blackberry plants, and gosh--do the plants in the house REALLY need to be watered????

SOOOOOO I have to say I think i arrived home in time enough to save my wonder egg plants--
BUT I need to know---when do i take the egg off of the plant?/ my eggs are mostly golden---do i wait or will they mature off of the plant as well as on???
