Snapshots from a California Garden
...
Just outside our back door is a beautiful dwarf lemon tree. We don't know what variety we've got, but we love it. The fruits ripen to a beautiful globe shape, and I think they have an almost peppery fragrance. The fruits are ripening, just now. I really enjoyed having an endless supply of lemons when I was sick with laryngitis, a few weeks ago.
Citrus are incredible trees, because they simultaneously have fully ripe fruits fruits and brand-new flowers on their branches. The flowers have an intoxicating scent, that seems significantly more fragrant after the sun goes down.
If even half of the flowers on this tree develop into lemons, we're going to be in Citrus Heaven next year.

We have lemons.
You have Moose.
If you have to trim off extra branches on that lemon tree, you may get a magnificent crop this year.
We had to trim back my Dad's old concord grape vine about 80%, 2 years in a row, and now we get tip top grapes in the fall!
We are about to get 2 inches of rain tonight. With the ground frozen like it is- the water has only one place to go... straight into our basement. Grrr.
