One of several tasting tables.
The weekend was John Panzarella's annual open house in Lake Jackson, Texas. If you've never been, you really need to mark your calendar for next year. John is growing approximately 200 fruit trees in his backyard, ranging from all kinds of citrus, peaches, avocados, pecans, persimmons, kumquats, and on and on. His backyard is what mine would be if my wife would let me keep planting trees.
Every year he very generously opens his yard to anyone who is interested in tasting some of the several varieties of citrus he grows. In addition to the tasting he sells trees, some of which are really rare and hard to find. I didn't buy anything this time to the surprise of all who know me), but I had a great afternoon meeting fellow members of the Texas Rare Fruit Growers club and talking with other fruit enthusiasts.
