I'm busy planting what remains unplanted of my familys 5 acres of land with edible fruiting trees. The first trees in the oldest area are now almost 5 years old and this year I've started with the understory plants. The mainstays of my garden are Avocados, White Sapotes and Cherimoyas.

I'm also growing a few Mandarins and Oranges, Loquats, Capulin Cherries, all the common stone fruits. The original goal was to have fresh fruit to eat during any day of the year, with that almost achived allready I'm trying to have a couple of different fruits on any one day.

It's proven a real challenge to have fresh fruit in Late Spring through to early Summer, I'm very happy that Cherimoyas and White Sapotes exsist is all I can say :D, I'm also working on having Avocados 365 days of the year, it's quite possible down here on the South Coast, almost easy really it's just that I haven't yet got the last two varieties I need to make that happen
