Nothing is Easy........

Over and over I seem to say the above "Nothing is Easy".... Unfortunately getting loquats to ripen without some sort of trauma seems to be the case.... The frost last weekend was more severe than I first thought....note the fruit in photo below.....
At least I had gotten to eat several the previous week.... the green fruit in lower right of photo should be ok for later.....so we will not have a complete shutout......
....not to be outdone by the loquats the young citrus tree got nailed....it was full of new growth that seems to have gone bye bye.... nothing is easy..... gee I had actually fertilized and watered it this year....

The photos of the injured cauliflower are not included here.....when you have 6 weeks of 70-80 degrees with lows in the 50-60 range there is no chance for the poor plants (even caulifllower) to harden off.....grrr....nothing is easy.....
