Sugar snaps, Snow peas, Purple top turnips, Shogoin turnips, Bloomsdale spinach, Georgia collards, Mustard greens, numerous Meiwa kumquats and the last Orinoco Banana.

Ooops! I almost forgot. Well over 100 jalapeno peppers and the last of the bell peppers. I pulled the bells up and replanted more broccoli.

I have taken stuffed jalapenos to several get togethers lately and I can't believe how quickly and greedily they are consumed. I watched people grabbing four or five at a time. Amazing!

Today I harvested more Barbados Cherries (Acerola, ceresa).

Yesterday I harvested the first fruit from a new Florida citrus cultivar "Red Lime". I used it on the baked Salmon I prepared for supper. I ate the remainder of the fruit, the skin as well. The skin tasted similar to Kumquat, even though the juice tasted more like a lime.

The cultivar was developed by ECHO (Environmental Concerns for Hunger Organization).

Dan,

Yes I most definately have those seed however I think I need to wait at least till mid January to start them as it will not be warm enough to plant them out till late March.

Caloosamusa,

Tell us more about the Red Lime.

Is it available to purchase?

If you are within the State of Florida you can purchase the "Red Lime." The mother tree is a Rangpor Lime, and the pollen prodginator is believed to be a Kumquat. It is extremely cold hardy especially if budded to a Citrus trifoliata rootstock. That is what I'd suggest for "Panhandle" Florida conditions. Citrus trifoliata is a dwarfing rootstock.

More than a year ago I had called ECHO and special ordered the tree. Echo can be found on the internet, and phone numbers and hours of operation Eastern Standard time are listed. Their citrus tree and other prices are higher than most places but they (ECHO) do good works in parts of the world that need help with food security issues. They are a Christian missionary organization.

The Red Lime itself can be a potted plant in a larger container. It blooms in autumn and the fruit is ready about 60 days later, depending on weather conditions and available water. They taste very much like a lime, except the skin tastes like a Kumquat, so the fruit has a wider range of uses than many of its close relatives limes and kumquats.

I hope this helps, they are difficult to obtain as it is a very "new" cultivar.

What variety are they? I have 6 survivors in pots ready to plant in ground when it gets warmer. They are Imperial Star which was developed for warmer climates with low chill hour reqmt. Can't wait to try them. I'm a big fan of chokes cooked in olive oil and garlic.

Artichokes are tuberous and perennial at least through USDA hardiness zone 8. When I was a child we had them in our garden and they could care less about temperatures in the 20's F and a few inches of snow. The hybrid "Imperial Star" is inexpensive and easy to grow from seed.
