Started some veggies early. Fruit trees looking good. Rain has done wonders! Lots of weeding to do.

Tomatoes


Eggplants


Sweet Potato


Strawberries



Mango tree is flowering! Didn't do jack last year. Had lots of fruit the year prior.


Peach tree is in full bloom


Apples coming along nicely


Loquat tree is totally loaded! Grew this guy from a seed.


I used to like growing veggies, but it got to be too much work weeding, watering, and pest control after the kids were born. Now I just stick to the veggies I'll eat daily. If I had the space and free water, I'd have nothing but fruit trees.

I had 250 orange trees, down to about 100 now, water is expensive    Weeds are a pain too but Roundup is my friend    Mike, your trees are doing very well and I forgot to bring you some oranges, I owe you some

Looks good Mike.  I have to throw up some of my garden pictures since I just finally got it up and running last weekend.

Got my first papaya off of my little 3' tree! Was pretty sweet and flavorful.

Dang that looks nice.

At the Outrigger Canoe club in Hawaii, a popular dish for mornings is half papaya with cottage cheese in the middle.

I can't do either of these alone (bleh!) - but together - it's somehow magic ...

You either love or hate papaya, it's not for everybody.

Just planted some but still need more. Anyone seen Rutgers tomato plants anywhere? Those tasted best last year.

First tomato harvest.

[spideyjg]

Nice haul. I have 2 locations in the yard last years and a new one. The new one the tomato plants are monstrous and are just budding.

The old ones have fruit in process.

I've been having a fair harvest of tomatoes, zucchini and squash so far.  Not a fan of zucchini, so I dressed it up into pizza boats on the grill. Surprisingly very yummy!  Tomato slices inside from the garden also.  Making healthy food unhealthy!!!  lol

[Pinoyfisher]

Looks damn good!

[spideyjg]

Tomato plants, 2 of them, growing completely out of control. Somewhere in there are cages they ate.

That's a healthy looking mater plant!!
