Lemons, could be Myer, could be Lisbon, but I don’t really care, very fragrant and juicy, they are from my sister’s yard, I planted all her fruit trees. Going to give some of them away, my house and fridges are just loaded with fruit.

if I grow the fruit and the deer eat the fruit and then I eat the deer, does that count?

@jrd51
Love this. We need all the humor we can get these days!

@Luisport
Luis, that Satsuma ‘whatever’ looks fabulous! And so does your Ariana. Was it sweet or tart?

@Robert
You made ice cream from the grapes? and BTW . . . that apple pie - YUM.

@Quint
Steve, I will try to remember to send you - or post - paintings I finish of my pomegranates. I’d love to see your mom’s work. If you can - message me some pics. :slight_smile:

Yes!

They were muscadines and the ice cream was one of the best. The pie was pear. Ugly, but tasted great.

Using up the garden peppers i made this delicious fermented sliced pepper dish. Sliced, salted, pressed out water for several days then added garlic, oregano and olive oil. Keep stored in refrigerator.

Had such a year here once…back in 1987. Garden tomatoes on Thanksgiving.
(After having a freeze in April that froze most things that spring.)

This is the last of the satsuma in one tree, I still have another satsuma but somehow the fruit in that tree is bigger and not thin skin like this variety. Maybe they sold me the wrong one.
I also picked some Algerian Fremont tangerine/mandarin, they are turning bright orange. This is a small tree but this is about 1/6 of what’s out there.

That looks really good. Reminds me that my wife planted collards in August that are still in good shape.
