Yes, he attended Berkeley.... I think he was a chemistry major but
don't recall exactly. Also remember the three day 4th of July bashes
held by Ray Brauman (sp) of Burning Man fame? I think he got
interested in Kaffir Limes and went on to gardening related ngs.

Speaking of citrus, I just took another stab at growing Meyer lemon.
This time it's planted in an area that is covered by mulch, so I hope
it has a chance against the slugs, snails and earwigs. I had the last
one for seven years and it didn't grow an inch or produce any lemons
because the bugs ate all new growth off as fast as it was produced.
It didn't die. I finally tore its naked carcass out of the ground and
threw it away.
