I've planted another Meyer Lemon tree but it will take years to get to the size my old one was.
I also bought a Navel Orange & Variegated Pink Lemon tree.

I also like growing Melons & Watermelons every year but this year the heat is too intense I'm not getting anything so far.

Also tried growing a peach tree once but the bugs quickly went after it. They would eat the leaves and ruin any fruit. I would have to be spraying it with insecticide for it to work so I gave up on growing peaches.

Thankfully the bugs leave my Bananas alone, only thing that bothers them sometimes are caterpillars making holes on new cigar leaves
I have to keep an eye out for my seedling bananas though.
