Re: My Limes are growing

There are very many lemon and orange trees but it is rare to see lime trees and limes in the supermarkets really are expensive, so hopefully now my little tree has got it's first fruit it will continue to flourish.

Well that is a miracle, living in a warm climate is the thing to be doing, wish I had thought of it.

Re: My Limes are growing

Glad you had success with the limes! We planted some a few years ago but only got foliage. I second Uncle Joe's gin & tonic hint by the way.

Re: My Limes are growing

Thanks for the gin suggestion but honestly I can't stand the smell of gin. I do however like lime juice to drink and I also use limes for cooking. Lime meringue is really good and makes a change from lemon meringue.
