Full Circle with the Citrus

[Bugbear]

About a year ago, as my citrus were abundant and ripe, I started a thread to go with an experiment of gardening in a Buzz Kidder, kakhi canvas kilt. The thread died before I could get the much needed pictures. Gees, the things and changes that have gone on in one year...

It's come full circle now and I can report that I no longer garden in a kilt, and I have an abundance of ripe citrus including grapefruit. I still have everything packed up in plastic storage boxes, though, I might not sell the place and move this year... They did fix the gas leak a couple of houses down, but it's still kind of dead down there... Still have the six farm cats. Also, my neighbor has built a two story storage barn along side my property in the back...

Maybe I will move this year...

I have a Meyer Lemon tree in my library that is ripening.

I have a Meyer Lemon tree in my library that is ripening.

Ya, those are good lemons and trees. It was starting just a few years back that we, in Arizona, were allowed to grow those because of one of the citrus viruses it can carry.

I have a navel orange on a sour orange root stalk that makes extremely sweet oranges. I've cloned him for if I move.

Anyway, that's that.

I guess I am used to living out of and having everything in plastic storrage boxes at this point. I was just going through one of them looking for a couple of things and getting stuff organized a little better.

I do how ever want to get another rolling clothes rack, the good strong, tubular metal kind, so I can just move the whole closet without having to pack any of that stuff. My kilts, accessories, and suits take up most of the closet.

And... I did get a new rolling clothes rack. I forgot this is where I first brought it up. It works well and I can use it for kilts in part.

Everybody got their fig trees; I started a bunch of new cuttings; and I have started moving some of the young citrus trees to a trench I dug and had filled with compost a while back.

Those were the rootstalk trees I had growing in containers. Some will be used as bonsai material, others can recieve grafts. I don't have the skills to bud graft successfully, so I use an aproach graft between a rootstalk in a container, and a momma tree that's in the ground. Sometimes I plant the rootstalk in the ground near the momma tree, though.

Oh! I forgot to say that I do have a good crop of broccoli out there, and they are starting to make their heads.

Just thought you might want to know.
