Yes they do keep me busy... Also not shown are the seedlings Satsuma's and lime.. also a single blood orange seedling. And also pepper collection that is going to be treated as house plants during the winter. (hubbies project with lots of hands on help from me but I'm glad he has a growing project Wink ) also tomatoes, squash, water melon, and garlic's to name a few.. the peppers are the only other thing that is going to wintered inside.. should be interesting this fall.. I'm glad I have LOTS of south windows!!!
I also have pecan tree, walnut tree, pond, rock garden, and about 100'X100' of lawn, trees and shrubs.. I almost miss the days of NM postage stamp sand lawns.. LOL NOT!!!!!!
If only I had a GOOD green house.. I have tons of room in the yard for one.. (would cut down mowing as well..) Hubby and I have been thinking of a 5 yr plan to have a green house.. He wants peppers yr round and I want citrus.. We have picked out a spot in the side yard for a green house.. The side yard is about 60'X 70' should be able to fit a nice green house in that.. Not sure what size we will be able to afford in 5 yrs but we have opened a savings account just for it..

I'll get some more Photos posted soon..

Yes the Cal is one that I had put in trash but recovered it stuck it in a new pot and stuck it out side in the shade.. I honestly thought it was going to hit the compost pile after the end of the summer.. it suprised me!! Nice suprise!!!!
I love the finger limes looks.. hope the fruit is tollerable.. but then each to his or her own taste.. I shall see.. maybe... eventually... Very Happy

Here is one of my south windows full of Citrus..



The fingerlime in the center of the photo has grown crazy this year!! Amazing it is so big.. it was the smallest and now it is one of the largest...

I still have some rearanging to do before winter has set in.. but all of my plants are now inside.. temps got down to upper 30s lower 40s and I brought everything in... Temps are back up but I figured would be better to leave them in... So far no leaf drop to speak of.. (knock on wood) that has been almost 2 weeks ago..
