What is meant by "the fruits of the land"?

I agree with Michael that your lower hanging fruit is working your COI (circle of influence), but if you have that base covered, and you're doing marketing, etc. don't just sit around waiting for a miracle to happen like so many do.  

I've been pushing myself at such a pace that I've sort of distanced myself from going to social events -- working all the time.There's one thing to be said for financial success but another for the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Also, our grocery expenses are below what the USDA lists for a thrifty couple- I cook every meal and we eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.Our car expenses are just gas, insurance, and regular maintenance; plus, some recent and expensive repairs.

They would pick them dry before the George buds could produce Ben fruit.

To twist an old cliche: Don't scatter your eggs in multiple baskets and lose sight of them. 

Gift basket, dinner out, when the house closes.

There are little pockets that can be very fruitful to an investor.

Everyone wants the low hanging fruit.

I don't see huge upsides as there is only a few years left in the up swing and after transaction costs, it's not that fruitful to buy now and hold for another 5 years or so.Also, I'm in earthquake country and insurance is a gamble at best as they may deny a claim.
