….make kumquatade?

We chopped down the lime tree to make room for the deck to be built. I said, "Oh, there’s another lime tree growing in the little yard outside the massage room. It’ll be producing soon. Besides, we don’t use limes that often."

Then, the other day while I was carrying water from the gray-water trough to the plants in the front yard, I saw little orange fruits on the "lime" tree in that little yard.

The fruit is EXTREMELY tart, but the rind is sweet. It is almost impossible to eat because there are so many seeds. I think we’ll have to pass them through the juicer and mix whatever comes out with mango pulp. It should be interesting…
