Got a bumper crop of lemons this year.
Heard a comment once about owning a lemon tree...
“When you have a lemon tree, you and all your neighbors will not have to buy ‘em at the store.”
Trouble is, a lot of my neighbors have a lemon tree too.
I've also got a tangelo tree and a Valencia Orange tree. Those oranges are just now turning from bitter to sweet.
The tangelo tree got hit by frost a few years ago and it killed most of the tree. Got one branch that still produces fruit.
That same frost wiped out a grapefruit tree.
Having fresh citrus is such a treat, isn’t it, DD?
We have a tangerine tree that really produces and Marissa loves them.
That's the case here too. I love lemons, but there are only so many that one family can use. LOL
What's worse to try to get rid of than a bumper crop of lemons? Try grapefruit. Our Ruby Grapefruit tree gives us hundreds of beautiful juicy grapefruit each year. Problem is, most people don't like them. I have found a good use for some of the juice; Greyhounds and Salty Dogs, LOL ("hey, who put grapefruit juice in my grapefruit juice?") ;-)...but other than that, they aren't good for much. And, on top of that, many medications react badly with grapefruit juice.
Amy, you need some grapefruit? LOL
