No. A few years ago I planted a little grapefruit tree and a little lime tree. My older lemon tree has produced a few good lemons, but mostly they look like the grapefruit you see before you. See the pith? It’s nearly all pith, just so you know. Not sure how it or I did that, but that’s okay.
Wanna know why? Well, last night was taco night! They’re simple little rigs and I buy all the stuff we need from Omar of Joya de Ceren, it’s my nature. While some ingredients vary, there are the staples that each trip produces. One of which being limes.
Yeah well, I unloaded my stash last night and realized I’d forgotten the limes. I looked up at Z standing in the doorway and he had this look of shock and dismay on his face. Omar is only 3 blocks away, but I’d just returned and didn’t want to go back out. I didn’t think so, but if that little tree had just 1 little lime, just one usable one, that’d do it.
Today my good people, I am sharing with you the very first lime off the little tree and it was perfect in every way. Ain’t life grand?
xo, Biggles
You were blessed.
Come see my citrus.
Not only grand, but perfect. I had the same experience this week – needed just one little lemon and my tree yielded just one. The universe was in order.
Hey Cookie,
I’d love to, got to taste your citrus a few weeks ago and it was sweet.
Hey Zoomie,
Yeah, 1. Am thankful for that because it saved me and dinner!
Biggles
No, ya big lug. Come see my citrus on my blog.
Hey Cookie,
Yeah, that’s what I meant, duh.
Better go look …
Gorgeous little lime…I feel your pain on the pith…the lemons off of my grandparents’ tree (they always send me back to New York with a bag of them) look fairly similar.
Sex Bomb Mama, Yeah!
Flipper Rules!
That looks more like a cedro than a grapefruit. Are you sure?
