"The fruit from the pineapple guava is not picked. It falls, which is the sign it is ready to eat, and then you pick it up.
In Australia, we are all under the impression it is a New Zealand plant, which I now see, turns out to be wrong."

Cindy, if it was me, I'd wait until *after* last frost as they really do like warm temps. That way if any early birds sprout and then you DO get a frost, they won't get zapped. But I'm pretty conservative that way, so if you're a gambler, go for it. :) The seeds survive frost okay, but the seedlings don't. Let us know what you decide to do and how it works out. I do love morning glories too!

I don't think people here would stop even if we didn't have the resources, its one of the major party/drinking holidays here. When we were there for St. Pats day in '03 I was in shock because of the difference between a real Irish celebration and the Chicago/Illinois version. People thought I was crazy when I told them they dye the river green and drink green beer and have custom made floats and if you don't wear green you get attitude. So snow won't stop anyone here.

Whenever we get snow here, the whole place comes to a standstill. We don't have the resources to cope!

Here there are always plans for a snowstorm on St. Pats day. But it doesn't stop anyone from being crazy.

No, we do not take weather lightly here, anything could still happen with the way it went for the last 2 years! This year so far it has been too mild for comfort!
