This little bell pepper keeps on coming! We have enjoyed the harvest for over three years and counting. Right now we need to harvest before the local animals decide it is time for their dinner.

Ready to repot papaya
Cutting & rooting plants
Yesterday-Today-and-Tomorrow is another drought and temperature tolerant plant that one can cut and root as shown. It takes about 2 weeks to get the root. The unique side of this plant though is that it throws its seeds and soon the seedlings come up. What we have been doing is gently digging up seedlings, place in a soil filled pot till a good size root ball is developed. Then place in the ground so as to control just where this plant is growing.
Yard beautification
Dwarf Ruellia is a beautiful purple flowering plant, which is temperature and drought tolerant, and loves sun. The flowers open every morning and close @ dusk. We plant these around the edge of the property, along with our home like park. You do not have to keep buying, as the cuttings will root in a couple of weeks and be ready for their home in the ground.
Still winter

The winter of 2011 / 2012 was fairly mild compared to two previous winters where the temperatures dropped below freezing damaged much of our fruit trees. As can be seen in the photo, the papaya trees have came back bearing fruit along with the banana trees.
