The mild winter and perfect timing for fertilizing on my 6yr old tree is looking good!


March 17th


There were thousands of these blumes everywhere!

March 22nd


April 11th




Today:
So many pods...
Already the size of my pinky fingernail. They've never been like this.

I have 3 Meyer lemons looking about like that. And my blueberries are slammed full. The wife's 4 bee colonies 100 yards down the fence line helps too.

2 15yr old trees 2 houses down and 4 30yr old trees 2 lots behind me have really proven to be vital in my young trees success!!!

Dont let the Dukes get their hands on your crop report.

My trees are still young....just hitting 3.5 years in the ground. Last year, I had just four or five Meyer lemons and a couple navels. But this year, I have flowers and small fruit on everything but the blood orange: Santa teresita feminello lemon, key lime, owari satsuma, navel, Meyer lemon, variegated pink lemon. And the olive trees look good, too....except for the one blown over twice this spring by weather. I hope it survives.

What olive trees did you plant and where are you located? I want to plant a few in the Felicianas but want to make sure I plant the correct ones for this area.

There is a lady in BR that raises and sells olive trees. 3-4 different varieties if memory serves. We got one from her but lost it, it was planted in a pot that we protected in the winter

Any of you guys deal with leafminer pests? I get them bad in the late summer on my grapefruit tree.

My Meyer lemon and satsuma trees are loaded. My Meyer has been sprouting flowers since last spring after every rain seems like.

Mine's a Hamlin Orange tree, and it didn't produce eatable fruit until it was 4-5 years old.

I have three Satsuma trees that look just like that. This past season was a bit light. There are easily double the amount of fruit.

My Blueberries are going crazy.

I've got twice as many star-gazers, roses, and just about everything I had last year.
