7 years agoGreat looking trees guys!! I love seeing everyone's pics! Here are mine. I will not name them all, but a few at least...
My ponderosa lemon...had four big lemons this morning and just now it got blown over by the wind!! I'm so sad! No major damage and I caught it quickly (only some dirt came out of the pot), but two of the lemons fell off!! I am going to try to use them for a lemon merengue pie today.
I put the squash in for scale. Not ripe, but I hope they have juice.
Dekopon

Last but not least, lakeland limequat - quickly becoming one of my favorite trees because of how prolific it is and how delicious the little limes are!

Comments (13)Thanks everybody! LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering the echo effect right now. I found out today that my furniture's not coming until mid-November!! Also, what really worked for us and our cats was to lock them in one of the bedrooms while we moved. Then after everybody had left and we were getting ready for bed, that's when we actually let them out. It was quiet all night for them while they got to explore their new home. Charliedawg, I saw your pics very soon after you moved in and am jealous how you got rid of your boxes so quickly. I must have re-organized my kitchen a 100 times already lol. Here's a cute picture! Somebody better explain to Duke that he is a CAT and not a MONKEY lol....See MoreDo realtors know we are in a housing slump yet?
Comments (17)Hi Gamecock, I agree with the posters that would hold off until you are closer to actually getting to your destination city and a purchase. What is available now, won't be in several months so it's really a waste of your time to get hooked emotionally to a home now. What you should be doing(IMHO) is to connect with a good agent in your destination area. Building a relationship now will put you in good stead down the road. One thing that you MUST find out is what type of "Agency" they practice within that state. Some states still practice what's called "sub-agency" which is where agents' fiduciary duty is to the seller. Here in Arkansas, we are buyer agents unless the buyer is looking at a company listing. That puts both the buyer's agent and the listing agent in a "dual agency" position which basically means that your agent can not help you negotiate. In Illinois, we practice "Designated Agency" which puts buyers in a much better position when it comes to negotiating. In case you're confused, I'm licensed in both states. Next time you talk with an agent, find out what their state laws are regarding agency. Good luck....See MoreWhat are we reading in October?
Comments (69)I tried Ministry of Utmost Happiness and it just was not the right time or something so I returned it. Might try it again. I do like the name. Somewhere I had heard Lincoln in the Bardo was supposed to be very fine so I did seek it out and just finished it. It is highly acclaimed, and was interesting in parts , but mostly I just made myself read it and finish it, I think because I felt guilty about not sticking with Ministry of Utmost Happiness. lol sort of. I think Lincoln in the Bardo was a over my head. but I do feel a sense of accomplishment. I would say it was The Whole Town's Talking but not as easy to follow and less entertaining. Next up for real will be the Cooking Gene which now that I have looked into it, really does look like it will be a great read. Will keep you all posted....See MoreWhat are we reading in October 2019?
Comments (131)Lucky Annie, you get to immerse yourself in Moscow for a transcendent reading experience! It was definitely one of those books that left me so sad to come to the last page. I"m in the midst of reading one of the JA Jance Joanna Brady/JP Beaumont series of mysteries. This one is Fire and Ice, and although it's listed as a Beaumont mystery (I've not read that series from its start) it is actually a dual storyline book; each character alternates chapters. They are working separate cases but eventually they will dovetail and the protagonists will connect. I want to thank the person, apologies for not recalling exactly who, that recommended the Joanna Brady books. Love them, and reading one is definitely literary comfort food. I know I'll get solid characters, an intriguing mystery and a sense I've checked in with some virtual friends....See More

7 years agoWOW! You all are amazing! Your trees and greenhouses are beautiful. I can only dream and scheme of having so many. I bought my first Meyer Lemon two years ago, my second this summer. I think I've been infected with the citrus bug because I can't stop thinking about them and dreaming of other varieties :) Thanks to all your advice, I sprayed my trees with Neem oil 3 times before bringing them in for the winter. I then sprayed the foliage with Dyna-Gro Pro-TeKt ( I fertilize with Foliage Pro). At the end of last winter my original tree was infested with scale and spider mites - at least now I know what to watch for!!!
I have the two trees placed in our coolest extra room, 66* and 65% humidity, a south facing window and a CFL grow light with reflector. I went to a hydroponics store, showed them my set up and they recommended adding a Sunblaze T5 high output fixture.
My first tree (on the left) hasn't had any leaf drop at all - it is my baby and has 12 good size lemons, tons of flowers and lemonettes. The new tree on the right is a little more fragile and lost a dozen leaves or so, but none in the last 24 hours, so hopefully it has now adjusted.

7 years agoHey everyone, I haven't had a chance to take photos of all my trees this month but I thought I'd share a pic of my yard. I just overseeded my grass and thought it would be cool to share what it looks like before and after the grass starts to grow. I guess it kind of counts as October citrus pics since a lot of my trees are in the background.
Before...
After...
Ill try and get out this weekend and get some pics of my trees.

7 years agoHi Everyone! Wow everyone's pics look amazing. I have been secretly stalking the discussions on the Meyer Lemon for a while as i have issues I'm trying to correct, which I will post on another thread. I got the citrus bug this summer and now I'm a proud owner of Meyer Lemon, Variegated Pink Eureka, and Valencia Orange , with Moro Blood Orange and Owari Satsuma trees in the mail. They will all be going into 5-1-1 mix. I just have a couple pics that turned out. I'll post some more later.
My orchids Love being together in one pot and it makes for a continuous bloom, I'Il have to transplant the single ones into another pot.
This is my little incomplete setup on the south facing window. The Meyer Lemon is being babied. As you can see the wrap is holding the heath pad as I'm trying to dry out the soil and provide more heat for the roots and it's on a humidity tray. Its putting blooms like crazy but the leaves are not doing that well. I suspect the soil mix being too slow to dry as it is not in the 5-1-1. I will be transplanting it this weekend. The Pink Variegated Lemon and Valencia were drying in the shower.
Nice to meet you all!
Adri

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoSome nice pics up there! I really like the sky pictures. I could look at clouds all day.
Although I mostly grow calamondins, here are a couple other varieties. This first is a meyer lemon I gave to my sister last year. It had some real problems when we got the (almost free) tree - root problems, bug problems. But we pruned it and cared for it and it has really bounced back this year. It had 10 big juicy lemons this summer so far. The best we've eaten. 3 still on the tree and the tree has busted out with blooms like crazy. It likes this sunny window.
The next tree is a mexican lime that really should have been re-potted this year, or two years ago! We didn't do it because we were not going to keep it (my friend was supposed to take it this summer). And it's not at my house. Now that winter is coming we don't know what to do with it, so it's sitting there till my friend needs a lime I guess.
