here are some pictures, not sure how helpful that is.
if you can point me to a website or book that can help me ID it I will do my best to figure it out. It's a tree from an old grove in north mesa.
I have one orange tree, on the west side of the house and next to a grapefruit tree. It has old fruit on it from last year. There are no new oranges on it for this year. All the other trees on the property have fruit and it appears that they're real…
We love our sunken garden beds. What we're discovering is that we have an excess of dirt that we can use to build up our irrigation berms. Eventually, we will be able to use the excess fill as raised walkways between beds. I've heard tell that event…

I killed off my two black krim heirloom tomatoes. :( sad.
The garden planning for the new place has not gone well. There is too much rock on the side and it's just too hot to mess with now. we've been working on getting the house safe and livable i…
