Phil, your new place is especially nice. Very happy for you and your family. It will be exciting for the members of the Citrus Growers Forum to watch the planting and cultivation of your new citrus grove. The best to you and your wife in your new home. - Millet

Ditto.
Mrtexas, please keep us informed. Watching what someone like you - with gathered experience and knowledge - does from 'a scratch' would surely give us many pleasure moments. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who - in a way - envy you on having such opportunity. again

I can't wait for the update. Looks like any awesome space. I really want a scouting report. I know you have lots of experience. Are you going with an amended soil raised bed ? Another thread recommends planting on soil as is but I still can't quite agree 100% on that. I may be just too butt headed. Tom

Good luck in your new home but until you green up that exspanse it just won't be quite complete will it?
I'm sure you have given your final selections a lot of thought with maybe some cocktail trees thrown to optimize your space. So can you give us the list yet?
