Getting Closer To The PredictionToday I was amazed by the number of blossoms that fell from the Orange tree. The hum of the bees on the blossoms is very audible. December 15 is the date our tree's yield has had enough thermal units for eating. It is the cool nights that turns the starch to sugar to sweeten the oranges. We are planning on a bumper crop.
Oh I cannot imagine how wonderful orange blossoms smell!
ReplyDeleteI just learned that our front fence is surrounded by Jasmine. I never knew what they were (shame) I just smiled for the short time they were in bloom... for 2 seasons.
