Harvest

I had to harvest these off of our calamondin tree which is indoors this time of year.  Usually we can harvest a few each day for drinks or cooking, but our trip meant that all were harvested and went into a plastic bag in the freezer.  Now we will use them as ice cubes in our drinks.  They are smaller than a golf ball...


but full of citrus flavor.

  3. Never heard of them but they sound useful. I don't have houseplants anymore although I used to consider them part of the necessary decor. I just eventually lost them all and decided I didn't care enough to replace them. Last year I didn't even have potted plants on the patio. Not sure I will this year either. I am getting lazy ;)

  8. We eat Clementines or Cuties so I guess they are the same thing. They peel very easily and don't have seeds.

    1. NOT the same thing. Clementines are delicious and can be eaten out of hand, but calamondins are more like a lime.

  12. I had to google your fruit. I have never heard of them before. Sort of a mini orange/kumquat. Fun.

  13. Also new to me. They move in and out with the seasons? Maybe a possible Florida plant? I have to do some research now.
