And don't you think this looks nicer?Our wee orchard consists of two figs (black mission and brown turkey), a persimmon, a Persian lime, and a Meyer lemon. The figs and persimmon are perfectly happy with the cold weather, but the citrus are easily damaged, and once they've been zapped good by a frost, it's hard to bring them back.
With their lighting systems, we're hoping they will be bringing us fruit for many years to come.

Wow-beautiful!
We received a dozen pears for Christmas and I was wondering if you had any good ideas on what to do with them. I love the pear granita, but was wondering if the pears might be good withthe Machego cheese/ Thanks so much! Love your blog.

I had fresh figs for the very first time at Thanksgiving -- and I loved them! You're sooo lucky to have your very own supply. They cost a bundle in the supermarkets.
Not only have I never seen a Meyer lemon or ripe fig in person but I have never heard of a Persian Lime! It sounds fabulous though!! Love the lights.
I grew up in south Fla and had orange, lemon, mango, coconut palms, starfruit and banana trees in my yard. Not a mysterious Meyer lemon but it was still pretty fun I guess.
I can only hope that this little attempt rewards you with many limes and lemons!
We lived in the Bay area for a bit and planted a Meyer's tree.....we had to leave it when we moved. I can only hope the new owners loved it as much as we did!
Oh my! It's so magical!
