This pink line shows how high the river flooded 🌊 The pink line on this tree is how high the Anclote River came in 2022. In 2024, two hurricanes in a row pushed it even higher: five to six feet deep where the wagon sits. Filmed Oct 10, 2026.

Filmed Feb 2, 2026.

Checking the fruit trees the morning after the freeze. Crunchy browning, leaf curl, and a Pina Colada mango that might not make it.

First pomegranate of the season! 🌺 Our first pomegranate of the season is on. And the tree behind it started as a branch that broke off in my hand. I shoved it in the ground, and a year later it's quadrupled in size. Filmed Oct 10, 2026.

Squirrels ate 3 months of my work 😤🐿️

Filmed Jun 9, 2026.

Squirrels and birds dug up my seedlings, ate the seeds and roots, and left the rest. That's why these are inside now.

Chaka taught herself to swim the river 🐕 Chaka wanted to say bye, so she went for a swim in the Anclote River. She taught herself how to swim. Be careful, girl, that river's fast! Filmed Oct 10, 2026.

My mango died above the graft... now what? 🥭

Filmed Apr 30, 2026.

My Lemon Zest and Pina Colada mangoes died from the graft up. The rootstock is growing like crazy, so now it's a mystery tree. What would you do?

My Brogdon avocado came through the freeze great and even put out flowers during it. Will any of them set fruit? Tell me what you think in the comments.

My fruit farm at night, before the lights 🌙

Filmed Aug 26, 2026.

A night walk through Freeman's Fruit Farm before I hung the lights. Had these lights for a year and never put them out. That's about to change.

My Lemon Zest mango is about to POP 🥭 Little buds all over the Lemon Zest mango, about to push new growth. Very cool to watch the process (yes, I said neat... neato burrito, '90s kid). Filmed Oct 3, 2026.
