Hello and welcome from Birmingham  :wave:

That's the one in England by the way and it's soooo much different to where you are  :)

It's good to hear about what you can grow and the conditions etc. Look forward to hearing more.

Alligators are no problem at all, see plenty on the banks of the river & never heard of any attacks, I witnessed an accident on sep 14 2006 when a guy ran his boat into a bridge support at 40 mph & shot clean out the water up the bank & me in skates on the bridge! I had difficulty getting the skates off when i heard the guy shouting my wifes in the water, when i got down to the water i could see her floating face down with no life jacket, I used to dive back in Britain & trained in recover & so threw off my big baggy shorts & swam out & rescued the woman who was cut up pretty bad, she had been on the front of the boat sun bathing! so the prop did a job on her, both had broken hips & internal injuries & i never heard of em again but never so any alligators even with all the blood.
I don't have any pecan trees, too much work lol but the wife loves sweet tates & ocra.
