Days 977 - 1053 Winter Ends...Did it ever start?

Yes, eleven weeks since the last posting. School is coming to an end and I will have more time over the next few months so I should post more frequently.

This is the time of the year when we are just finishing the "lemon only" period and start fruit harvest all over again. We have had some cherries already (very early) and raspberries are not too far off. After this begins, we will have fruit again pretty much every day until at least March of next  year. Pretty amazing climate!!

Speaking of amazing climate. I am pround to day that we have our first Avocados on the tree this year. It looks as though there will be a bunch too!! Perhaps even 100 or so. Do not want to count my guacamole before I am sure, but it sure is a great sign (every other year the flowers on the avocado tree just dropped).

Here is what we harvested in the slow time of the year. Only $150 worth of produce over the past 11 weeks. Not much to speak of but I did managage to harvest something every day to surpass the 1000 day mark!!
