      Sounds like you have a very big fruit farm... I have an Avocado tree that I planted 2-3 years back from seeds hopefully itll bear fruit within 7 years

      Seems like every other year the tree has a heavy yield, but I try to keep it pruned so the branches are sturdier... it's an old tree.

      This is our hybrid tomatoes we harvest a bunch last week and now waiting to these to get bigger. We've been munching on our cherry indeterminate tomatoes

      Green fried tomatoes anyone?

      I'm starting to wonder if I will have any ripe tomatoes by the 4th of July. Got plenty of nice sized green ones, but none that are giving any indication of turning.

      We have been enjoying our cherry tomatoes but not the regular larger ones.. don't know why they are taking so long?

      I was just assuming I don;t have enough heat here, but you certainly have enough heat there. I guess they will start ripening all together and then I'll be able to go nearly straight to canning mode. The plants are just absolutely loaded and nearly as tall as me right now. Need to stake up some of the cages ti keep them from toppling.

      I have strawberries and peas. That is all. The tomatoes are just starting to bloom. I do have a ton of little green tree frogs that still have tails, so I guess you could say the frogs are getting ripe.

      I would love too have some of those nectarines there is nothing better fresh off the tree and what you buy in stores does not even compare at all

      "Peppa Pumpkin" and a couple of Corns. It's a really small garden and we are growing in sand so I'm building up the soil as I go.

      Thanks! Yeah, it's a task and a half but worth it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it but most likely, I will feed it to the Koi. It's the Baking kind, not carving kind. Got winter crop seeds starting to arrive, I thought I ordered English Peas (for the Koi) but ended up with Snow Peas but those should be safe for them. All but a few of the Flock I culled went into the garden and I don't have anymore cull fish. It doesn't last long since it's sand so I have to bury them a few times each growing season. I definitely need more cull Koi though.
