Citrus Season

Citrus season is upon us! If you ever wondered why stockings were filled with oranges, I know I did when I was little, it's because this is the time when it's easiest to get a good orange or grapefruit. Lemons and other small citrus is a little easier around the year but are still easer now.
Leaves of course are a year round thing and so the thai basil noodles my wife likes so much don't have a season but that's neither here nor there. Maybe it should be here...

Inside Citrus Time

Winter is fast approaching and the time has come to bring all of the tropical plants inside. This includes the plumeria, kaffir lime tree, which has outgrown the plant hutch, and the lemon tree which is becoming a real tree and, don't be too harsh, still needs a new pot.
I plan to section off an area for the plants soon, bigger than the hutch, to keep the cats from eating all the leaves. They don't really eat the leaves but the chew them up and spit them out in gooey messes on the floor.
