a lychee tree just arrived in the mail. my wife ordered it. she ordered a banana tree earlier this year. it's currently outside and doing well. 

her uncle lives in florida and grows mangoes. they're delicious. so my wife has grown a few mangoes from seed that are now 4-5 feet tall.

she has some dragon fruit going along with other tropical plants.

here's the rub: we live in new england. 

what to do? 

i see a greenhouse in our near future.

 we're trying to grow saffron this fall. this is the spot waiting for the bulbs to go in in a few days. 

it's a lot of work for what might be a teaspoon's worth when we harvest but experiments are fun so why not.
