RE: FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY : The Perfect Three
No photos = Hoax 😂😂😂 that's what this millenial generation says. Come on... I dare you to show me all those trees 😊 I never seen any citrus-lemons trees, peach and micro-mini apple 😊 show me.. pleaaaseee...
If it wasn't dark outside I go take photos now! I might have some on my computer. Those would look better than how they look now. They need some pruning.
You have never seen citrus trees? So that would make them exotic to you?
An older relative came to visit my parents. She lives where citrus can't grow because of the harsh cold. My parents grew lots of plants and one was a lemon tree, just covered with ripe fruit at that time. "Oh," she said, "can I see it?" Sure, said my mother and took her to the garden. "Could I touch one?" she asked. My mother said she could pick as many as she liked to take with her. Oh the smile on her face! I remember thinking how can a plain old lemon tree be so special? But that was because it was so common to me. Just like your Rambutan is more common. Aren't we funny?
Yess... we're funny 😉 actually I know local lemon tree and have the lime tree too, common one and kaffir lime tree (we use the leaves in many foods recipes too😊) but.. maybe I will behave like her too... uhhmm 😊 I always get excited to any trees with fruits I see, even its the trees that grow in my garden 😂 I don't know... I just can't help myself not to whoooaaa... whooaaa
Kaffir lime leaves I see in recipes, I substitute young lemon leaves. I read somewhere that was okay to do. But I see the real thing at restaurants and can tell they don't look the same.
I had to find photos from my computer to make a post about my fruit trees. They needed haircuts, all of them, and I didn't want to wait to do that. Plus as we move to winter they have no flowers or fruit, so pictures now would just look like green bushes! But just for you here is a look at my fruit trees! (And yes, some with fruit!)

Yes.. even we have 2 kind of kaffir limes here.. but we only use the small one leaves for the foods. And you know what.. we didn't consume the fruits though. I, myself never have succeed to see my kaffir lime tree bear any fruits😂 I rip off the young leaves everytime I see it😊
Thank you @donna-metcalfe😊 your orchard is amazing and I'm jealous.
Two kinds? And I have never seen even one kind! I didn't know they didn't make fruit.
Jealous? Oh but you are the one with the exotic fruit trees in your garden!
They produce fruits, but just like the leaves.. we use its scent to add the flavour to the foods but never eat raws.. it is very acidic! the little one is the most favourite's here in Indonesia, but the one which distributed more is the bigger one (I have the little one but not in Pamulang, there in Aceh) but if I need some leaves, I can buy it from the vegetables seller or asking for my neighbours. I only one exotic fruit in my garden.. but you have almost every fruits that I like in your garden ... HEHehehe.. remember "the neighbour's grass always greener than ours"
