As I manage to collect some 25 to 40 GB of pdfs and notes in an 'normal' year paper lost its appeal some 30 years ago. I would likely need to hire a couple people just to store maintain and index the information - - - if you're paying I'll start tomorrow. > > Ciao, > Tito > > P.S.: I suggest for urban gardening: onions, peppers and cucumbers > they grow in almost every condition. > Tomatoes are very sensible to lots of diseases and lost their taste > long time ago in the process to be made solid red. > With avocado trees in pots I got mixed results, > with mango trees in pots this year is the first time > there is a good chance of eating some mangos. > Don't know where you got the information that I'm urban but I can tell you that tomatoes plucked ripe from the vine - - - they have flavor and task quite different to what you purchase in your grocery - - - - I call those 'little rocks' - - - bugs my wife a lot but I really don't like them. Taste too much like straight cellulose!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do let me know if you're up for funding the needed help - - - I would think that some $250k a year for the next 25 years should do nicely.
