There are many things I like about this house. One is the fireplace in the office for cold mornings. One is the screened in porch, which is just heaven on a summer night. But out in the yard is another thing: an abundance of fruit trees. Let me give you an idea of what we are working with here.
 |
| Sour Oranges. Not good eating, but pretty good for marmalade. |
 |
| Tiny sour oranges. Same problem as the big ones, just more of them. We did get some good oranges and some tangerines that were perfect, though. |
 |
| Bananas! |
 |
| So many bananas! I pulled some off the tree and made banana bread. I felt like a pioneer. |
 |
| Grapefruits. So delicious! |
 |
| We ended up with about 50 of them from mid-November to late-December. |
 |
| Greek platter put together for the Olympics. The mint and the figs grew in my yard. |
And there were some things that didn't go so well. The papayas that never ripened, for example.
Also, the pomegranates that got all diseased and sad. Gosh I hope those grow better next year.
