CITRUS





(Friday) Randall, who is mourning the arrival of winter in P.A., said that he wanted to see some of my citrus. The larger picture is of the navel "tree" and the smaller is a satsuma orange. We don't really have a giant yard so all nine of our citrus trees are on dwarf stock. That is, they're really bush size -- just big enough to have a little fun with them. They should be ripe in a few weeks. They're all still a little yellow.

The other plants most evident in the picture are prickly pears (which are just finishing with their fruit) and aloe vera. The grapes from my neighbor are crawling over the fence.

The weather experts say that we might have a light frost tonight. But it shouldn't be a problem for most of the plants.
