Above: I planted the peach tree in April 2008. Our winter began 4-5 months ago. The leaves had all dropped before Christmas. Now, nearly all of the branches have hundreds of tiny leaves emerging and dozens of little fruits.
Above: I ordered miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) from an online company last February. It's a very slow growing plant. In August 08, when everyone else's miracle fruit was producing, mine was not. So, I moved it to a full sun spot and changed the irrigation system to drip twice daily for 2 minutes. I just noticed these tiny buds forming and I am bursting with excitement. These berries will make for an awesome party trick.
Above: Here's the pineapple I planted back in 2007. We bought the pineapple from the grocery store and planted the top after eating the fruit. In the very center of the plant, you can see the tiny pineapple top forming what looks like a red sea urchin. I'd guess the plant is now 3 ft wide.
The aloe vera just recently shot up a flower that will bloom in the next month. Here is the aloe plant last March.
