Hi friends time for some updates and some new pictures of my farm , I have finished building a small one room little house next to the main well , and in the main time I have also planted as an experiment a tree called Paulownia , I am just testing how well it will do in this climate and soil and decide from there what to do ...biodiversity does not hurt

thanks John , yes I know that also there is a cosmetic oil that could be extracted from the seeds and sells for top dollars ....but I am not into that , below some other fruit trees I have in my farm most of them seem to be doing fine ...

our pomegranates are usually ready around October ....the weather worldwide is in a mess , and this year alone in my area we had extreme drought then snow which screwed our almonds crop (cause it snowed in february when they were already in flowers ) , then now we have extreme heat and water shortages ....one plant never ceases to amaze me is the prickly pear cactus , it is perfect for our climate
