I did a garden crawl this morning and built a quick slideshow. With the exception of Loquats and Carambola the photos were taken today. Things should be a little further along but we are having a longer than normal dry season. Hope you enjoy.

we pretty much grow year round but every two or three years we get a frost, perhaps one or two day, this year was frost free

Thank you so much.

(10,054 posts)we grow a little of a lot of things all on 1/2 acre. some things go entirely to wildlife. as an example, the Barbados Cherry in the photo was gone later in the afternoon. not pictured are Peaches that the squirrels eat green and a Sugar Apple that has yet to bear. The small fruit is rarely in a quantity to collect but more for daily grazing.
