  1. Migraines suck!!!

    I have a lemon tree in the backyard with huge lemons, they are the size of softballs or small honeydew melons. About 7-8 fell off from the top of the tree with the winds yesterday, good thing because I couldn't reach them. Thought about planting an orange tree but they take so long to grow, might go with a lime tree though. The other tree in the backyard is a beautiful tree but not a fruit tree, don't really know what it is but great shade tree even with being messy as heck and draws bees to it.

    MS, sorry about the jam not setting :(

  2. I took a good whiff of her, definitely a touch of sheep poo. She may be cuddling with you tonight, MS... She looked very affronted!

    Ooh, Deb, shade is good and attracting bees is DOUBLE good. As for lemon trees -- I would give my eye teeth for a really good one in the garden here. I used to envy some people further down the road who had the most magnificent lemon tree -- but they seem to have CUT IT DOWN! Vandals! Why would you do that? They'll have to buy lemons now...

  3. I have one of those - smallish heffalump that is. It is out hunting or doing whatever she does late at night. She had the option earlier of snuggling up with Mr MS or on Airy's bed but chose to go outside again.
    Time for me to head off to bed after checking to see if HRH wants to come inside. Have a great sunny day tomorrow Jcat and deb I hope w**k isn't being too much of a pain in the a**e. You already have the pain in the head and really don't need more. Sweet dreams to you both and scritches to The Crew and Libs & Jasper.
    Goodnight.
    PS, I'll salvage that jam yet Deb, I hate wasting fruit.

  4. Sleep well and sweet dreams to you too, MS, I wish you a lovely day tomorrow with jam setting beautifully all over the place. Scritches to HRH, who will be missing Airy already...

  5. WHAT? They CUT down a lemon tree. Sacrilege!

  6. I KNOW!

    There was a famous 100-year-old lemon tree in Greytown that was credited with saving just about the whole town during some epidemic (the 1918 flu epidemic possibly?) Sadly, it succumbed to old age a couple of years ago but lemons ROCK!

  7. Jcat, my Tahitian lime fruits when the lemon tree isn't and vice versa, it's great having an almost year round supply of tangy sour citrus. Then again I'm probably telling you something you already know.

  8. No, I didn't know that at all, MS. That's good to know! I am very vague on actual flowering and fruiting times and things like that. I know you can grow Tahitian limes in pots down here, I wonder if they're frost tender in the winter?

  9. G'night and sleep well, scritches to HRH in the morning.

    My dad cut down my Mom's lemon tree a few years ago, it was a beautiful tree but he didn't like it....that and the avocado tree along with the other fruit trees, he said they attracted the birds to make a mess, sigh.

  10. jcat, even if they were frost tender you could cover them or if they were in pots bring them inside.

  11. I love grapefruit trees but can't eat them any longer with taking bp meds, would love to have one of the trees that grows grapefruits, oranges, and lemons on the same tree.

  12. That would be really handy, wouldn't it, Deb? My mum and I love grapefruit too, she has one for brekky every morning and I love to juice them as well!

    Poor fruit trees. I can't imagine anything nicer than wandering out and picking a ripe avocado or other fruit from your own tree and I like the birds too :) If I were your mum, I would have been very upset.

    Deb, I have given up on frost tender trees here, even when I cover them religiously, they all die! But yes, if they were in pots, they might survive on the verandah...

  13. My Mom was really upset but no one in the house listened to her complaints about it, and I found out after the deed was done. Get the dwarf trees and then you can grow them in pots. The only thing about the trees that grow the three fruits grow them at will, you never if you which one you will get that year. Had a friend who had one and only one year did it grow all three fruits, otherwise it alternated the years that different fruits grew.

    Sleep well my friend, and scritches to Jasper and Libs in the morning.
