Missing Pictures

Here are a few of the pictures that I have been wanting to post.



This is a picture of the other side of the garden plot where I have planted a row of citrus trees. The vine you see growing is a tropical pumpkin or calabasa squash. From this end to the orange tree in the foreground is 75 feet which is the length of the vines.


Here is a picture of a harvested topical pumpkin. It weighs about 10 pounds. We have picked five fruit already from just three plants. I included a picture with a Valencia orange for scale. We have probably harvested about 50 pounds of squash so far with a bunch more on the vines.

This is the new ground for the next plot that has been cleared of citrus trees.

I'm jealous of your squash harvest - mine is looking fairly useless at the moment as we've had so much rain and hardly any sun.
