Hey allan im in tulsa and have many citrus. I have no problems getting mine to mature and ripen. they just do it on their own schedule. In fact I have been enjoying key limes from this springs crop and should have some meyer lemons and mandarins next month. You ask if you should fertilize once a week? Yes you should but maybe not now. Most of us container growers fertilize once a week starting in spring. I back off to once a month in august. Miracle grow is Ok if thats is all you have or can afford but there are better options. It wont have the micro's they want but that can be done other ways. What are the conditions in your sunroom during winter? If it is favorable for growing you could give them a good feeding now. overall they look pretty good. Mine grow, fruit and bloom all winter long in the greenhouse but I keep it at the temps they love. Mike

Hi, Susannah, I have emailed you. I am interested if you still have seeds. Marcia

I love your photos. What kind of camera are you using? Yellow is the best way to start off the season -- bright, cheerful and not to be overlooked. Fantastic photo of Yellow Monkey.

Janet- that sounds great! DL are fast becoming one of my favorites. I traded this past fall, and got 4 nice 'new to me' DL- One, Strawberry Candy, has had 3 blooms on it- so pretty! Oh yes, we need rain so bad! I have several others blooming- most unnamed- but I luv'em anyway... Don't have much room in my city cottage garden-but, I keep trying. My rudbeckias are starting now too- but, all my little volunteer seedlings- celosia, balsam, amaranth, camomile, are so small- I know they need a good 'dose' of Ky Rain.. I want to get up to see you... and the DL :)) Maybe next weekend- I will e you later in the week.. thanks, Linda in Louisville
