Fruit & Veggies

We visited friends in the rv park we stayed at in Wellton two winters ago.   Most sites there have fruit trees.  We got some grapefruit from one of the trees and the fruit was excellent.  It was so sweet you can just peel it and eat it like an orange.   There are also orange, lemon and lime trees in the park so if you get to know your neighbors you can enjoy all the different kinds of fruit. 

The fields are doing well now that the freeze threat is over and its getting nice and warm again.  It is amazing how fast they can grow a crop of lettuce.  They plow up the field and plant it (using seed), water it and then take a hoe to all the plants at about a week and half to break up the soil a little bit and then harvest the lettuce on the 21st day of growing.  They aren't even done picking the whole field before they start plowing the picked part under to get it ready for the next crop.   Its a $5,000 fine if you pick anything but some farmers allow you to take the leftovers out of the field once they are done picking.
