Texsox Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I love walking out and pulling the first perfect orange off the backyard tree. Yum. By far the best oranges since I planted that tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I love coming home, knowing that I'm about to go out and drink to say yes, I'm done with finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy! Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I don't get the thread title. I tuned in thinking I was going to get a tale on how you lost your virginity. Oh well. A really tall glass of cold, just-squeezed orange juice is just sinful. I could drink it every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 The only thing I can pull off the trees in my backyard are some dead sticks and a few pine needles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 This is our first year in a new house with three orange trees and one grapefruit tree in the yard. The orange trees are young and only put out a couple of runty fruits, but the grapefruit tree's branches are sagging with good looking big-ass grapefruit. I tried one for the first time last week and it was just a little tart. I'm hoping we get a couple of good frosts over the next two weeks or so because ironically that really sweetens up the citrus. We also have a banana plant that failed to mast. Hopefully next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they look and taste great. Now, in about 6-8 weeks, I will be the insane neighbor with yet another basket of fruit trying to give it away. I swap oranges for grapefruits with a neighbor. He's got a couple awesome Ruby Red trees that he pampers all year, watching over each piece of fruit like it was silver. And just for Mercy!, All I remember about my first time was I was very scared, in the dark, all alone, clumsy, immature technique, about the same as today.
