This is one of many date groves. There are places along the roads that sell all sorts of date products, including date shakes. I bought some date nut bread and had a date shake. It was OK, but I did not like the little sharp pieces of dates getting stuck in my teeth.
And here are grapefruits. I was told the season was late so these were not ripe.
And oranges, also not ripe yet.
I saw a lot of fields of grape vines, but a lot of them looked half-dead. Not sure why. Maybe it is the time of year.
And here, you can see a field of peppers ready to be picked. There were some pickers waiting to begin down by the cars. This area is very close to Mexico so there are a lot of migrant workers in the area, far more so than I have seen in other areas of California. These were large, long red peppers.
