If the root snapped from tipping the pot , it was insignificant to be a real loss. Try placing the tree in a shaded area for a few days and bring it back out into the sun. 3 of my sweetlee tangerine trees had root outside the pot and I transplanted them. I put them in shade and broken light for about a week to 2 weeks. They are doing fine now. Nice to hear you got some good fruit

Linda, I'm glad that your news was good, but I'm very sorry to hear about Kurt. Hang in there and take care, Lynne

Jolana,Well.... The heat during the DAY is OK. I wouldn't like vote for 100 degrees with 99% humidity (without rain! that's like a trick or something)I must say tho, Night humidity SUCKS. I'll bet there was a lot of insomnia and cranky people back before air conditioning. Good thing they'd be too warn out to shoot at each other accurately or we all might not be here. Humidity is a lot kinder to plants tho so at least there's a trade off. It's it amazing how things just suddenly just like green up over night? I use pictures to keep track of what plants are where so mine just looks dead. PJ

Yes, I've obsessed about my hvac project. I don't like the idea that the contractors see a big rebate out there and view it as an opportunity to pad their prices. I don't object to paying for the time they spend on paperwork, but charging me a couple thousand more than any neighbor has paid outside the program makes me wonder if it's worth it. Maybe I'll wait till it breaks and not do the other things. i don't have the extra $$ to just throw away on a program that is not really saving me $$ (on the purchase, I do believe in the energy savings). THIS thread has nothing to do with that. Last year the system struggled and I was ADVISED to mist it, to cool the air slightly before it enters the unit. I don't enjoy running the a/c around the clock to only get it down to 76-78 in the house. I don't think it is good for it to run so much...who knows if it has 2 months left or 3 years? I was looking for TIPS, such as if misting it is actually useful. IS it better to turn it off when I leave the house to give it a break, or let it run....Should I get it as cool as I can in the morning and sort of "save" the coolness for later?? That type of thing. I really do appreciate the advice and I'm listening. I'm taking a break of the project because it's so darn hot there is plenty of other business the hvac guys need to do, so I'll leave it go until it cools down. I start new threads because the old ones drop down so far I'm afraid nobody will notice when I update it, or if i have an equip specific question as opposed to a whole project question. Like i said, I appreciate the advice on my hvac system project. I don't appreciate those who are discounting THIS question...which really has nothing to do with the other and I thought might be useful for others struggling with the heat. Maybe in some parts of the country there is ac designed to get it down from 100 degrees outside to 72 inside...but my system apparently doesn't like to do that. (designed for 20 degree difference)
