Hanneke Feb 2021 1:54pm, 21 Feb 2021 70,751 posts	0 Hanneke I have a guilty pleasure and it is growing citrus/collecting citrus trees. It takes about 18 months in our climate for a fruit to ripen from flowering. For this I move the trees into a heated greenhouse in winter, where they spend 6 months of the year being treasured. Citrus flowers at the same time as fruit sets and ripens, so you have always got different stages of fruit on the go. The tree stops flowering when it deems to have enough fruit that is ripe for its procreation. That is where I come in and pick the fruit and eat it. The skins are thick and the fruit isn't the juiciest, due to its slow growth process. 10-12 months is normal in the mediterranean, here it takes 18 nonths! Very tasty though and nothing beats growing your own!

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
