potting up citrus

seasonal bloom

as we have said before, you have to get creative with flora in the winter, even around here where we have a year round growing season eventhough the temperatures can swing from chilly to mild (case in point: it was 17 degrees here last week and yesterday it was 65 and sunny!).

something fun to try:
order up some citrus plants, or buy some from a local nursery…meyer lemons or kumquats are some favorites…

here, a kumquat stands, repotted in an old churn and tied with a braid of raffia ’round the middle.
pretty to look at with fragrant flowers, they are just as yummy to eat.
