These photos were taken in April 2016.  When we moved here in Oct 2013 none of this was here.
 
My wife asked me "why are you in such a hurry?"  I responded because I am 58.
 
The best time to plant a fruit tree is 10 years ago ... the second best time is today!

Banana Trees, three varieties, all started from six plants that were 6" tall. Mahoi, Ice cream and Manzano

This is a native Florida Wild Everglades Tomato

Seminole Squash, a native species, very prolific.  Google it.

Fruit trees, 28 different varieties

Peaches, plums and olive

Citrus

Beets ready to harvest, peppers just getting started

I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.

Black Mission Fig, very impressive.  I planted it about 9 months ago at 6" in height

Peach

Papaya, 5 varieties, started from seed, just transplanted.  We will see which is the best producer.

Apple

Dragon Fruit

The Garden, raised beds in the foreground

Surnam Cherry, fruits twice a year

More of the garden, note the heavy mulch

Raised beds, on the left is the herb garden, the right is the Asparagus bed

Tomato, 5 varieties

More of the garden, sugar cane in the foreground

Asparagus, still not sure about this in Florida

Greenhouse / Hydroponic system, life for the garden mostly begins here

Fodder for the chickens, basically sprouted seeds with added calcium, protein and a few other things.  Lowers the cost for feed and provides more nutrition.

Two of the eight chowing down.  If they dont get their fodder by 9 am they start protesting

The very beginning, the tilling of the lawn

The very first season
