Our neighbor has a #kumquat tree, and invites us t Our neighbor has a #kumquat tree, and invites us to pick whatever we can reach from over the wall (best 👏 neighbors 👏 ever). We have discovered we really love them! They are actually quite nice sliced up on salads. They are tart and sweet all at once, and the perfect size to just pop in your mouth for a tasty snack (they are about the size of an olive).

Do you have a kumquat tree? We definitely plan to plant one if we ever have the space!

We overwintered our tomatoes this year and are enj We overwintered our tomatoes this year and are enjoying a great harvest! They started trickling in back in November, and have been producing quite a bit since early January! They were planted almost a year ago, we cut them back after they stopped fruiting this summer (they do that when it gets hot here), but they started growing thru the fall and really took off! You should try this sometime if you are growing tomatoes here in the Phoenix area 🌞

We're planning to take them out towards the end of this month to refresh the bed and plant with something different. I think they would probably keep going if we let them though! They have tons of new growth and more flowers. We have been cutting all that new growth off so they can put their energy into all thier fruits 🤗
