Tryed planting oranges up here in Canada. They doo great all summer, then the next year they don't come back. Kind of sucks. I'd love to have one though.

That "GOOD stuff" grows wild in our ditches around here. All the local hippies get sad when I spray it with Freedom X (commercial grade round-up)

:ROFLMAO: I lived in northern Kansas for a few years. If it's the same stuff
that grown there, it's not worth the time anyway.

This stuff is a hybrid, or so I am told by the Dead Heads who come around to harvest it every fall. I used to just let it go, but when you wake up in the morning and there are 10 VW micro-busses on my field road, and a bunch long-hairs in my yard in a cirlce making music with sticks and bottles it is time to for it to go!!!! Them S.O.B.'s would come up here from Kansas City to pick it, then want to play Hacky Sac all day on my place. Wouldn't have been so bad but the girls with them had bad B.O. and long arm-pit hair!!!!!!

Now I kill most of it off.

OP, You must have a big back yard for all those trees.
I have started turning the soil for my spring garden. Just a few tomatos,
peppers, onions, etc. I've had cabbages and onions in my garden all winter.

I have most of the citrus you mentioned. Have you heard of Navelinas OP? My avocadoes are covered in fruit at the moment. I didn't plant my vege garden before Christmas because of the drought and then we had some rain in January so I put some Ox Hearts in. They were going great and then the monsoons came and now it is all over. What a waste of time fertiliser and caring??? but hey that's nature.... Grrrrrrrr
