Nice! Judging by the looks of the soil and the surrounding view, is that somewhere in the southwestern United States?

DNT - someday I'm going to taste a dragon fruit!  Maybe JF is growing some that I don't know about or Ethan or Jacob or someone
that I will visit some day in the SoCal circuit of tropical fruity growers.....

They are such odd looking plants.....

A good dragon fruit is worthy of being on a top 5 fruit list. I would rank it up there with kiwis, plums, watermelon. Crossing my fingers I get some fruit this year, I tasted Rodney's Vietnamese Giant. It was excellent produced the fruit from cutting in 1 year time as well.
