I can't imagine anyone being interested :-/ Of course we are, we all started somewhere. It's good to learn from the experience of others. What fruits can you grow? I don't know. Peach trees seem to do ok, here, but the birds eat all the peaches. The problem with our climate is the extremes. Lots of plants can't tolerate the heat of summer and lots can't tolerate the harsh winter we can have. I haven't planted any fruit bearing trees, as shade is what I'm after currently. Pecan trees are very hardy and popular here. I'm not a good one to ask, as I'm just getting into all of this, and don't know much yet. Oh, I think melons grow well here, but that doesn't make sense, does it? Seems like they would need more moisture than we get??? I think melons, squash and such, that have big leaves to protect the fruit from the sun, do ok. Sounds great... Mind you, plenty of insects no doubt? I can say that I don't see any fruit crops around these parts. I see lots of corn, grass or hay, and cotton being grown. If you don't have lots of time to put into it and the ability to shield your plants from the harsh environment, you just don't get much out of it. Well don't give up yet, there' ll be plenty who went before you, happy to share their stories. Many can change, but wont, they'll still sell milk for a pittance and whine about it...Oh well. Someone has to sell just milk. Trouble is there are too many. They can't all turn it into cheese. Yoghurt? -- So, you dont like reasoned, well thought out, civil debate? I understand. /´¯/) /¯../ /..../ /´¯/'...'/´¯¯`·¸ /'/.../..../......./¨¯\ ('(...´...´.... ¯~/'...') \.................'...../ ''...\.......... _.·´ \..............( \.............\.. |
