I hate to even open the doors to the greenhouse because I know the heaters have been doing double duty keeping things warm. Since we're finally getting a bit of a warm-up today, I'll venture out to see how everything is doing and take in the scent Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430849998788960134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-2450580394664285012015-03-02T08:00:43.733-08:002015-03-02T08:00:43.733-08:00Oops, just realized we were talking at cross purpo...Oops, just realized we were talking at cross purposes.

And the photo was taken a week ago Saturday when all our boys and families came into town and surprised us at the front door then threw a party the next night with a cake for both of us. It's a wonderful story because so many knew and no one made a peep.

How about "letting nature take its course" as a description of your approach?)<br /><br />Forgot to mention before - that photo of you and your Hub up top caught my eye like it was new.

I see scale on my prickly pears and have done nothing about it is 3 months. I see plants that need watering, fertilizing and crowded out by others and yet I make them suffer by not doing anything about it. I should call myself the cruel gardener.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-10093671552167663462015-03-02T07:07:19.787-08:002015-03-02T07:07:19.787-08:00There is quite a difference between the tow lime t...There is quite a difference between the tow lime trees. Yours will have much larger fruit and much thicker rind. The juice will taste like Rose's lime juice, which is strange because I would call that Bartender's lime which is always used in drinks in England. Of course lime trees don't grow there so they are importing from the West Indies.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-1196931140362412412015-03-02T07:04:52.978-08:002015-03-02T07:04:52.978-08:00Surely you guessed on who was doing the lifting.

Then I realized, it isn't that you are bored, and even if you are, this at least, is no indication of that. No. You are simply the kind of gardener who pays attention to what her plants are telling her. I'm betting there is not a plant in all your space that you don't know what TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-90804705745377503132015-03-01T15:43:15.684-08:002015-03-01T15:43:15.684-08:00I inherited a lime tree with the house but I'm...I inherited a lime tree with the house but I'm unsure as to the variety ('Bearss' is my best guess). A thornless variety would be appreciated but the one we have is mature and bears well so we'll keep it. I should encourage my husband, the family cook, to make more use of the fruit. What are your favorite uses?Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-26532646133430409832015-03-01T10:49:17.079-08:002015-03-01T10:49:17.079-08:00Maybe I need to make room for a citrus or two.Maybe I need to make room for a citrus or two.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-43776775806807331362015-03-01T10:25:02.124-08:002015-03-01T10:25:02.124-08:00Who does the hauling inside and out?
