Bananas, Crapes, tobacco, Posted by Jason Western PA on August 1, 2025, 9:11 pm Just a few random pictures. All is well on the farm. Tobacco doing well.

This fall though she needs to give up her palm. She can't take care of it. She was bitten by a tick years ago and has pain. She wants me to have it. Her Palm My plant sale last year someone bought a banana plant. They told me where they lived, and I saw it last year. This was tonight as a drive by. Post office crape is looking great.

Re: Bananas, Crapes, tobacco, Posted by Alvin, z6 on August 3, 2025, 11:52 am, in reply to "Bananas, Crapes, tobacco, " Jason, there is an annual flower, that is closely related to burley tobacco, called Nicotiana. Th e flowers come in a range of colors from white to deep purple. The flowers on Nicotiana are fragrant. Looks like "You'll be rolling for days". You will have enough cigarettes, and cigars to last a while. Are all other pics at the P.O., or at your neighbors house?

Re: Bananas, Crapes, tobacco, Posted by Jason Western PA on August 5, 2025, 7:26 pm, in reply to "Re: Bananas, Crapes, tobacco, " It is. I had to trim the banana. It was taking over the sidewalk. The new postmaster seems to be a crab and called me on vacation telling me it needed trimmed. So, I had mom and dad do an emergency trim because I was in Alabama. All is good now. The last lady was really nice. This guy, not so much. lol
