Hello my brethren and any sisters here we may have. I'm back. Here's a little back story.
As some of you may know I had been with out work for about 7 months. Well almost at the end of my unemployment benefits running out, the desperation of not finding a job really got to me. I got really depressed. Really out of balance in the head. Started drinking a lot and then started having marital problems. Well long story short, I finally found a job and it really fixed things with me. I still have problems in my marriage but I've stated in the past I've always had a crazy life, crazy wife.
Anywho, even in the shit storm of life I've managed to grow some things. The only true love of my life, horticulture. That and my beautiful children. Here are my plants in my tub.

It's a tub grow. They are inside because the rolly polies were all in the pots and destroyed, or ate, 2 of the novo sprouts. I Google it and they don't really eat that but if there are hungry enough they will eat roots. And my chocolates have done super well in the shade. They are actually growing. I thought I had struck out with these 2 plants, as I have grown them out several times to no avail. With me working away from home they all suffered because they need a lot of water and attention. But now I am here and loving every minute of it. Enjoy guys. I'll post more updates.

Tubs are probably better anyways, keeps up humidity some and protects the seedlings from gusts of wind.
Sorry to hear about the money/drinking/wife problems. Im in the same situation but smoking bud instead of drinking cause of my crohns disease acting up whenever i imbide the sweet nectar of mash

Thanks brother. I think it will be better for some time now.
And how about my plants? I can't believe I'm actually getting theobroma cacao to grow in my environment. They stay in the shade 24/7. Before I failed because of them getting afternoon sun I mean afternoon sun for Petes sake. It boggles the mind. These guys hate the sun. I got my elm and oak tree to give them shade and my novos will appreciate it too.
I see success on the horizon.

Glad to have you back, ferrel. Plants are looking .
I hope the Theobroma does okay there. I think with drip irrigation you might be able to hvae them in the ground.
I forgot if you already have on in the garden, but you should definitely plant a mango tree if you have more space in the ground. I had a mango that was grown down around you that really impressed me. Apparently you can grow coconut palms down there too.

I have a mango in a very big pot. One that I have to put into the ground. They get pretty big. I seen some giants around too.
I know theobroma do well in the shade. My only fuck up is that I planted my khat in the middle of my elm and oak tree and now it's overgrown. The khat tree is in no way coming out unless I chop it down and I'm not gonna do that. I guess for now I will just keep it all small. I think I will trim my khat and keep it a small bush.

Welcome back ferrel! We missed ya! 
I was also in the same boat as you there for a while, and just got a job myself as well. Glad things are turning around for you! Keep you chin up, bud!
How old is that khat of yours? That thing is huge!

That's a nice khat man. You could cut it back quite heavily and keep it well clipped and it will become a hedge. If the size is getting too out of hand that is.

That's what I plan to do. But what a waste of material. We'll call it a necessary evil.
