I know I have been away a lot (Hospital and surgery) but I have not seen anything of Mike, is he still into growing and selling plants ?

The story is long and sad but the short answer is - he lost his job, his future job, his house, his computer and his partner; he had to move in with his sister, and he is trying to get back on his feet. He still occasionally offers plants for sale on facebook I think.

Oh no,I sure am sorry to hear that, I hope he makes it back.
