Get Your Vitamin C Here! by Weezilou

Get Your Vitamin C Here!

As original home owners, it was our choice what to plant for landscaping. I can grow my own flowers, so I thought it practical to put in fruit-bearing trees. They're about 30-or-more years old, and look like this every year at this time.

Those are Navel oranges to the left, one of three types of oranges (plus two tangerine trees in the yard as well!) No, we don't live on "acreage"... They're probably closer than recommended, but my mottos is, "Grow! or die!" Look how the trees can volunteer themselves with the aid of a bird or possum! We haven't had a failure yet, and we drink juice or smoothies daily!
Excellent to be able to grow your own citrus.

@pamknowler I'm thinking "Greyhound" before a chicken and salad dinner : ) ("Greyhound" is grapefruit and Vodka over ice...a *healthy beverage* ; )

@allie912 All things have their upside! Because of the yard alone, we would have a difficult time if we had to leave!

Lovely to have your own fruit trees!

Wonderful, must be lovely to have citrus fruit on your doorstep. My dad planted 2 orchards for me when I was a little girl because I had to be dieted continuously he was a market gardener and he grew what he was best at , so in season we had apples,pears and plums,but too cold for citrus fruit. The overflow (which there was loads of) was sold at market!!.

I do have a Cricut air2 which I dislike with a passion, it’s the only thing I have bought used and put away, I think it was the workspace that put me off. I have die cutters and loads of dies which is what I used in yesterdays card, I love my Gemini machines by Crafters Companion, all electric and cut in a flash!

I do envy your crop and daily homemade juices. Nothing like a glass of fresh orange juice with breakfast, I say! Fav.
February 10th, 2024
