Tip of Texas. Temps mid 50's today, cloudy and sort of ugly. We are used to warmer temps and sunshine, so I took a ride down the road. BTW, it was in the mid 80's 2 days ago.
First 2 pics are of a sugar cane burn quite a few miles away. Lots of open land here yet.
.
Corn on the left of the road, grapefruit grove on the right. Our house is at the end of the corn where the clumps of trees are.
A view down the orchard row.
Some of the prime fruit has already been picked, but there is still plenty of fruit left. These are Rio Ruby Red Grapefruit by the way, so sweet you don't need to add sugar when eating.
A close up of some of the nearly mature fruit.
This is the sweet corn I planted in a little patch not long ago. Still has a way to go, hoping we don't get a freeze in the next few weeks.
We still have 5 tomato plants from earlier this year. They really took off this fall and we have a lot of fruit on them. This is the worst looking plant, but I took this picture because you can see the fruit. The others are so green and full of leaves you have to really dig in to find the fruit. Probably seems strange to see to the folks up north who are getting snow now, but yes this picture was taken this afternoon!
