A finance section is a great idea. I was also going to suggest another: Food. We have a lot of Master BBQer's here and I think more than a few gourmands. Perhaps the chit/chat section is sufficient, but I'm willing to wager that a food section could stand alone.

That is true. I just feel like we should be proactive so we don't have problems in the future.

I know there are a lot of green thumbs out there who'd like to swap tips.

I'm not against it, but I've yet to see a gardening post on this board.

Personally, I love plants and would love to show off my various fruit trees, garden, etc.

We don't want the crap, we want the good stuff and we want it for free. Geez, do we have to draw a map?

Ah, my food idea was too gay for you I guess? Maybe so, but there have been many BBQ threads and I've already used a few of the suggestions. If everyone here is really as fat as they say they are, it's a subject in which we probably have the most collective expertise.

My wife's grandfather is 90-some years old and has lived in his Ventura, CA, home for almost 50 years. It slopes upward dramatically in the backyard, but he was an engineer in the Army and decided a long time ago to build three terraced levels and plant fruit trees. It's amazing back there. He has three 50' avocado trees that produce in staggered times of the year and they never, NEVER go without. They have hundreds and hundreds each year and have to give them away so they don't spoil. They have lemons and oranges that produce bushels and bushels of fruit. Then there are the apples, tangerines and whatever else too.

It's crazy to see what he was able to get out of a fairly average size yard. When they eventually sell, it'll interesting to see how much value those trees add to the home, too.

Pictures of a yard like that would be awesome....

I found a pic. So maybe I exaggerated on the 50' part, but they're still really big and provide all the avocado you can imagine. This shot is about half the width of the backyard and the organge tree was recently trimmed severely. The angle really doesn't do it justice. The neighbor has been there 50 years too and he decided to store rusty Benzes and set up a chicken coop in his yard. Gotta love roosters in the AM. That's me showing off my avocado-gettin' skills. (Sorry the pic isn't as exciting as hot babysitter.)
