No wonder you made tomato wine
don’t be envious of my fruit with crops like that !
SW Florida is one of the toughest places for a vegetable garden.
growing season for most things is Nov -March.
What's in your glass tonight?

I know what you mean. Spiders don't bother me but there are parts of my property where I automatically grab a stick, walking like a slow motion Olympic torch bearer.

It’s worse when you go out at night and hit one of those long tough web strings. And then you can feel phantom spiders on your neck for the next half hour
Thanks!
Well, like man has done for thousands of years, we learn to use whatever climate we have.
But I'm still envious of your fruit! But not the pool - I have a 3/4 acre pond.

But no gators
No, no gators. I'll bet they would keep the darn sneaky fisherman away!
Fish, turtles, snake now and then, heron, ducks. Occasionally I'll get an unwelcome visit from a beaver - it's amazing how fast they can down a tree.
Sounds like you will need labels to tell the difference between PINK lemoncello & grapefruitcello.

Sadly, I’ve had two grapefruit trees and they both died. I will check out lemoncello recipes.
Went out and bought a bottle of Limoncello to get an idea how it should taste when I mixed mine together. Enjoy

My first wife a LONG time ago was from Malaysia. She showed me pictures of her house, on stilts, and there were small lizards on the walls inside. Their job was to eat the bugs.
She also told me there were times when the army took them to school because the tigers were a problem. Wow! I think that's cool!
I was making liqueurs a few years ago - easy and taste great. Limoncello was on the list but I never got to it. Too bad. Good stuff!!

Sometimes we have small lizards in the house (occasionally a gecko too) but the 4 cats take care of that. Every now and then we find a dead palmetto bug the cats dispatched as well. No tigers.

Ya take these edgy tasting, low-dollar sale deal wine brands that ya know are basically gonna be good and toss 'em in the cool wine cellar for a year or more. Yeah, they get wine diamonds, but OMG!!! All of a sudden, $30 bottle. Mmmm.... I bought a case of these last year on sale.
Okay, it wasn't today. I just spent ~40 hours trying to fly home from a trip to Florida. (Bad weather in Atlanta and much of the East/Southeast caused a lot of backups and canceled flghts.) Some of that airport time yesterday was spent in Vino Volo. I had a flight of reds, and my DW had the flight of bubbly. Well, hers was much better AND much more voluminous than mine, so I had to have that, too!

Pretty decent for an organic grape wine. Notes of grapes, red grapes, some other grapes. My reading glasses can't read the hype on the bottle so that's all I got.
