I am the assistant director of Grounds/Landscape Operations at Florida State University during the week-on Saturdays I leave my home in the country and head into Tallahassee to help out one of my former employers Esposito Garden Center (who I have worked for off and on since 1983). This is really a labor of love-I get to pretend that I am the Steve Irwin of Horticulture and show folks that you can eat nasturium blooms, give them a taste of persimmons,let them see the coolest new fragrant, delicious or boldly beautiful plants-it is fun At the Garden Center there is usually a good supply of Citrus- today I sold a fantastic Meyer Lemon that I really hated to see go -because I had my eyes on it for purchase Here are some shots I took of the citrus at Esposito's-

WOW.
I'm so jealous you have access to citrus like that. I have to wait a long time until my babies grow that big!
What size are the sale trees at the Expo? Although I don't think I'll be able to make it- my Dad broke his hip and I'll be heading to Wisconsin to help out as soon as he gets out of rehab- which looks like right before the Expo!
