Talking about lemon. I have a Eureka that bore exceptionally large fruit. I am harvesting it tomorrow.

I love the variety - I'm originally Canadian, and the sheer novelty of picking figs in March blows me away sometimes.

And that's just the spring (breba) crop, you should also have another crop of white & brown figs in the Fall !

Your town sure looks like a beautiful place. I hope to visit the area someday with my spanish speaking daughters.

Do you have an ice cream maker? Check out the recipe for lemon sorbet.

If your still reading this no I don't have an ice cream maker used to but it stopped working so I threw it out. Might buy one soon as it's getting hot and lemons grow fatter and juicier every day! Thats one thing I love about my tree sometimes the lemons hang on for years! Only growing bigger every day! Once I harvested a lemon bigger than a grapefruit! It was one mocho lemon!

All the cara-cara and Trovita oranges.

Fresh Strawberries! :2181:
I bought these plants in Exeter Calif. two years ago. They are a day-neutral variety, but otherwise unmarked.

O.K., now I have to tease you about the Meyer Lemons! Did you know they are really Lemon x Orange ? I would agree that the "Meyer" is great in drinks. However, cooks are taught use the Eureka or Lisbon for that robust lemon flavor. (Lisbon is just a seedless Eureka).
Sorry for the delay in replying Richard - and I can't do the quote thing properly, but yes I did know it was a cross - but so thin skinned and juicy that I can forgive it!

Lorax - what do you do with your granadilla (assuming we are talking about the same thing - 12 inches long with a thick rind and not much flavour in the fruit)? All that comes to mind is candying the rind - not enough fruit to juice unless you have a superior type. Do you cook the rind as a vegetable? My p. vitifolia has taken off to such an extent that I am almost afraid to plant more varieties ( 60ft before I took the machete to it!).

This morning I picked almost 3 gallons of apricots. I'll probably have the same amount ripen each day for the next 2-3 days. Coming up in a few weeks: ripe Green Gage Plums.

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?
 
With those apricots, my wife Sue made 1/2 gallon of apricot sorbet and I made a quadruple-size apricot pie in a large broiler pan!
