Not quite 365 days questions.

Which flowers or trees are blooming where you live now?

All trees are blooming.

Desert Broom
Mesquite tree. We have two
Paloverde tree
Orange trees. We have 2 large ones.
Grapefruit trees. We have 2
Pomegranate trees, we have a huge one.
Bird of paradise. We have 3 big ones.
Oleanders
I don't know names of any others. Sorry.

Our orange trees bear fruit twice a year. We get about 50-65 oranges on each tree, twice a year. Grapefruit only gives us about 6 big ones twice a year. But it's still smaller. The orange trees are huge. Hubby had to get something to pick oranges with that can reach the top. He sacks up bags of oranges, and we donate them to two separate group homes for adults with autism. They love the oranges. It works out really nicely.

That's the beginning of an awesome dryland food forest! :D I love citrus and pomegranate.

Do you do anything with the mesquite? It has a lot of uses.

They are so. Different that other peoples gardens because we are in the desert. We do love to sit out there and watch the wildlife.
