Planting More Citrus Trees

This week we planted a few more citrus trees in our garden.  A lemon to replace the one that froze a few years ago and an orange and a grapefruit tree. If we can keep them alive through the next 3-5 years, they should begin producing a good  amount of citrus to share with friends and family.
Their blossoms smell like heaven and the honey that the bees produce from their blossoms is light and very tasty compared with the buckwheat honey in the later summer season.

clearly one of Dolce's field bees!
