Happy New Year everyone!
Since October,November and December were unusually warm, I suspect the lychee crop will be small or non existent. Even with the upcoming cold spell expected in the next few days, I don't think it will be enough to produce lychee flowers. Too little too late. Should we have continued cold over the next few weeks we may have a second opportunity to have lychee bloom and some fruit later this spring.
On the other hand the Jakfruit trees are beginning to show flowers and a few trees have set fruit. If the warm weather persists and we avoid a freeze we may have fruit early this year.
In the meantime we have beautiful herbs and vegetables. With the cooler weather the tomatoes are setting fruit. Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, cilantro, sweet potatoes, carambolas and Jujubee are ready to eat.
We are enjoying the the harvest and would like to share our bounty with you, all is for sale mostly on a u-pic basis with our guidance.
We wish all a very happy and successful new year.

Last weekend was the Ramble at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden. I had a booth where we sold plants from the nursery. You couldn't have asked for better weather. EVERYTHING WAS JUST RIGHT. I saw old friends and met some new ones. A good time was had by all.
Yesterday for lunch we had string beans grown here at the nursery. Daikon and red radishes should be ready in about a week. Sweet potatoes are also ready, so much better than storage potatoes bought in the grocery stores.
Tomatoes are doing great, however fruit does not set until the night time temperature goes below 70. So far this season most nights have stayed above 70.
A new crop of Chinese winter melon is coming soon. In the meantime the herbs are ready to go. You will find parsley, Thai basil, sweet basil, mint, thyme, rosemary, dill, cilantro, Cuban oregano, tarragon, chives, and garlic chives.
