my florida peach tree (doesn't require cold weather to set the fruit) is producing fruit. ate the first few last week and they were delicious. got some more this week. cut down some bananas and will eat when ripe. japanese plums (loquats) are going crazy, i got enough (made jam, freezed a bunch for future smoothie bowls) and whatever the kids in the neighborhood don't want the birds and squirrels will eat. avocado and mango flowers are blossoming right now and the bees are pollinating. papaya trees are fruiting. my prickly pear cactus is producing some prickly pears. hopefully i get some dragonfruit. the pollinating has been a bytch in the past, i have a self-pollinating one that i hope will produce. pineapples are already showing up because we didn't have a cold snap this winter.
collards (and callaloo the jamaican version) and various lettuces were producing all winter. beets, ginger and turmeric. i have some cherry tomatoes producing right now.
No, that was me being annoyed, resigned, but thankful for all my little pollinators and predators.
) as to what to grow here. There's a community garden on the block, but i haven't really set up a steady mode of communication with the woman who runs it.
