Baby Lemons!

My indoor dwarf citrus have been blooming for weeks now - the Meyer Lemon in profusion and the lime sparsely. But for the first time I saw tiny little citrus emerging from the blooms. Most of the branches are very thin, so I am clipping some of the buds off to improve the chances of any of them making it to maturity. I don't know if either is established enough to successfully fruit this year, but I'll give it a go!

Birthday Present

My friends have bought me a large, frost-free, upright freezer for my birthday! That means I can now buy local meat in bulk and save on cost while keeping to my values. My friends rock!
