Hi D'Andra!
I've lived here all my life. Grew up in La Sierra and now live near Lake Mathews. I hate what is happening to what used to be a nice, slow-paced town. How long since you've been here? Sadly, the Ag building at Arlington is nothing but a shell now.
I remember when most of the area I live in was orange groves. Now, if you want to see orange groves, you have to go to the Citrus Heritage park on Van Buren. Ah, the smudge pots! You'd get up in the morning and see a black haze in the air...
I lost one banana (at least) to the frost last winter. I have alot more plants to be worried about this year. It's interesting that the temps up by the Lake tend to run a little cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter than down the hill.
That's cool that you have bananas in NM!
