Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

There are no diamonds and no monkey people who stand upright with locking knees in my back yard... Unless you want to call me a monkey people... That's ok if you do.


I have one tangerine tree, but it is one of the older seedy varieties. I call it the tang tree, and they are quite good, but seedy. I also have a washington navel, a tangelo, a grapefruit,and a volkamer lemon, as well as a sour orange tree. All the fig trees I have are cloned from the same brown turkish fig.

* As I said before, it is fun to call them marmalade trees, but technically they are not. The sapote is the marmalade tree, and the seville orange is the traditional orange from which marmalade pectin is extracted. That's just in case someone feels the need to correct me.

* There also is no girl with kaleidoscope eyes in my back yard. I do however have a marmalade tabby kitty cat who loves to sneak around under my citrus trees.
