I have watered and fed my Oranges since April! Although we were hit with a big hail storm before they started to bud, I managed to save @ 8 of my oranges. And now they are finally ready to pick and eat! 2 different plants: Clementine and Naval. Just so you know, the soil here in my part of TX is mostly clay and is difficult to grow and nourish oranges. Not to mention the yearly drought conditions. But with regular organic feedings, tons of water, and a controlled soil source, it's possible. Last season I only yielded 3 so this is a momentous occasion for me.

I also really enjoy spending time in the yard and patio caring for my flowers and plants and keeping up our yard in general.

Very nice! I am sure you will figure out a way to create a liqueur from them, or something.

I literally LOL'd!!! Nice one man.

These will simply be enjoyed naturally: peeled and eaten.

Looking good! I just got my winter garden planted myself.

Nice work! I enjoy working outside far too much. When I saw you put up that patio lighting, I went out and did the same thing. Appreciate the motivation.

Thanks! I will have to move them indoors once winter hits if forecast calls for below freezing...
