So all the home grown peppers got me thinking, "what else are the brothers growing?"

My lemons are almost ready
Ruby grapefruit is getting plump
Reed avocados are almost ready
Haas avocados are booming, and I got one bunch of bananas, but those guys don't so so well in our Mediterranean climate... Thinking of pulling the trees out as they are water hogs.

Tomatoes got scorched, but the collard greens are tasty. Bell peppers didn't do so hot, either.

Onions and garlic are getting planted soon.



What are you guys growing?

Dang! I only have two avocados, but would love to do more. What kind of Guava do you have? We have a lemon-guava in a planter out front.


I also have a Clementine, Tangerine, Apricot, Ana Apple, Peach (which has yet to do squat), a Valencia Orange, a 4-in-1 pluot, and a plum.

The valencias just turned from green to a yellow-ish. They should be awesome in January!

Dang, as my name suggests, Hogs! But I also grow beef, chickens, and have a big garden each year. Potatoes, carrots, all the usual suspects. Fruit trees and berries make lots of jam and preserves. We can or freeze a lot of what we grow, I make a killer dill pickle. This years turkey is jut about ready, off with his head!
