We have one grapefruit, one navel orange and until the cold weather got it, a Meyer lemon. We also have a fig and we have yet to see any figs. When we leave FL there is green fruit, but we are never here when it matures. I am sure the birds have a feast! Both the orange and grapefruit got nipped this winter and lost their leaves in a couple of places, however, both are filled with buds about to burst open and the yard will smell heavenly -- at that time you can't keep me inside! There is also a tangerine on the property (which used to be an orchard years ago), but the fruit is so bitter, no one wants to eat it. Does anyone know the trick of "sweetening" up these tangerines?
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
