Our first fruit trees

We went to a large wholesale nursery that supplies most of the retail nurseries on the island (and on some of the other islands) with fruit trees during their semi-annual open-to-the-public day and bought our first fruit trees.
A very important addition to the orchard--an avocado

Calamondin lime--a lime that is orange when ripe
The lime already has a few small fruit

A lime blossom. It has a very sweet, but not particularly strong fragrance.
Clementine orange
Miracle fruit. After eating the berries, even the most sour foods taste sweet.
Pepper (the spice) vine
A gardenia (not a fruit tree)

Chickens hanging around
 This is the process of chickens roosting for the night.
Getting ready to jump into the tree


Another one goes up. Chickens are not the most graceful flyers.
And the third one
Grabbing onto a branch
Chickens in a tree
