Stepping on @LallyLuckFarm's toes because I like these posts
It's been a frigid and gusty week here in New England, I needed two pairs of gloves for my bike ride to work yesterday! Just a couple of kale plants hanging on in my garden outside, but inside my potted camellia sinensis recently flowered for the first time! I'm currently battling a spider mite infestation and it did not enjoy lack of watering while I was away for Thanksgiving, but hopefully it'll bounce back in the spring.
What's growing on for you all? I hope all you southern hemisphere folks are enjoying the peak of the season!
Are you actually planning to grow tea with your camellia or just as decoration?
As for me: Hoping my Yuzu survives the weather
Edit: And waiting for warmer weather so I can stop using the bus and ride my bike again (I refuse to wear a big winter jacket and sweat during my way back home because it's too damn hot)
Have you eaten any fruit off your yuzu yet? It's about the only edible citrus I can grow outdoors in my area. I've thought about giving it a shot, but I'm also not psyched about the idea of spending years growing a tree just to realize I don't like the fruit! I used to live in Japan, really should have tried it while I was there. Much harder to find in America I think.
Some of the seltzers have yuzu flavoring. I'm thinking Sanzo specifically. https://drinksanzo.com/products/yuzu-lemon-12-pack
