Hello from sunny San Diego

[JHB]

I live in San Diego county and bought my house about a 1.5 years ago. The yard was neglected badly for 10+ years from the look of it. I am still working to clear junk plants and trash but cleared out enough area to start planting this year.

I currently am growing tomatoes and peppers. I hope to get in beans and carrots too. I have planted a blood orange, Meyer lemon, cara cara naval orange, haas avocado and almond tree.

You have a lot of excitement in store. As and when your efforts yield you will get a spring in your step.

Good to have you on board and sounds like your garden will yield lots of good things to eat. Blood orange tree would be a wonderful thing to have, and I love blood oranges.

Welcome to them forum, glad to have you on board and woah, an almond tree! Are those hard to grow? You must have a lot of space, best of luck with your cleaning and growing projects! I know that cleaning a space and specially getting rid of weeds in a big space isn't easy, but don't worry Rome wasn't built in one day

I have .44 acres, so not a huge amount of land but about twice the usual suburban lot.

Hello @JHB and a big warm welcome to the forum!

Welcome JHB. You'll be working hard for a while but seeing the progress is your bonus. I love the sound of the fruit trees, I wish I could grow them here.

That poor tree was eaten by something soon after I planted it. I am working on it, and it will come back. I guess it just puts me back a year or two extra to get much fruit.
