Curious what those crops are Steve. I have thought about Medlar for sure, plus I do know Persimmon grows well here.

Thankful for what I have planted and can grow here, I decided to take a walk and see what all I have growing right now. But I am always looking for ideas on new things to plant, especially trees that bear fruit. Here is what I have currently growing: Trees Eureka Lemon Myers Lemon Pink...

That looks awesome!

Maybe we will need to be under cover like Marijuana producers. I can see it now. Hey man, check out beav down the street, he's growing some killer beets man. Don't tell the cops, but he also has some onions that will set you free!

I have four Raywood Ash trees and love them. A low maintenance tree that seems to be the last tree to lose its leaves every fall.

Planted three more Citrus trees today. I officially have a Citrus "grove" now. I planted a Blood Orange, a Calamondin (its an asian variety, very sour and small 1-2" orange fruit) and a Lemon variety known as Pink Lemonade that has pink flesh and when squeezed makes pink lemonade.

beautiful! I want one now....

This is the time of year where we enjoy paying our sunshine tax. Things start to green up and the weather isnt to hot to work or plant in. Its basically in the 70's during the day and the upper thirties at night.

I know, I adopted his post as my sig line for fun :lol:

Local Nursery is relocating (Evergreen Nursery in Rancho Bernardo - Hoodat) and everything is 30% off! So I went Citrus tree shopping today and bought... Valencia Orange Minneola Tangelo Myers Lemon Algerian Clementines ...to add to my grove of existing Eureka Lemon, Bears Lime and Washington...

I would run the peppers in rows and the tomatoes in rows as well, making sure the tomatoes are positioned to not block the sun out for the peppers. 5 zucchini plants planned? You must have a lot of neighbors. :lol:

could you be a little more specific about what you would like to germinate?

Its only two pounds, I plan on making carne asada tacos tonight, and slicing up the rest to eat fresh!

Unbelievable. 2 lbs today and tons more in the next week or so

Its getting "cold" at night and it is affecting my butterfly weed plants that are currently hosting monarch caterpillars. I have one plant that has foliage left, so I transplanted the monarchs from the cold-harmed plants to the last remaining food source today in an attempt to save as many...

I love pickled beets. But another way to enjoy them is to run a fresh beetroot through a juicer and add it to a glass of low-sodium V8 juice. Incredible pick me up drink. Plus it gives you Mick Jagger beet red lips!

I big shout out to vfem, she made the whole thing happen. Hopefully, next year's garden will be special, beautiful and bountiful.

I am leaning towards some type of Rhododendron now based on this research I did (and other) "Azaleas have typical features in the form of small hair-like structures. These hair are found growing parallel to the leafs surface. This feature can be clearly seen on the midrib of the leaf, i.e...

Thanks for the close-up. This west coast guy is still working on the I.D. Again, I do not think its an Azalea, we had tons of rhododendrons and azaleas in our yard in Oregon, and this plants leaves look much more leathery, almost Pittosporum or Laurel like.

Any chance of getting a closer picture of the leaves perhaps?
