Had Stretchman give me a visit on the weekend, may have another AP convert :hello:

Most of the fruit tree's have dropped leaves now but have plenty of oranges on the way and more lemons than you poke stick at, I can't beleive Coles are selling golf ball lemons for $1 each :bash:

may get some pics soon

What are limes going for ? Plenty of them about too ! Maybe put some in my next ale.

This lemon has fruit all year round and gets next to no attention, the orange gets a bit of humonia ar beer o'clock occasionally

I used to Humonia the hell out of my lemon tree's when I used to live in Karratha but the ants evetually killed the tree's off. Nice looking oranges there man.

CD Shhhh he forgot about it again, will come in handy for the cobbler, maybe this weekend, have to see what GWH is doing

Dave the oranges and lemons for that matter are about softball size, the lemon tree hardly gets water, the orange tree got no humonia last year and oranges were about mandarin size so just a little every week seems to do the job

Nice crops there Nocky.... My oranges are dropping all over the place, must bring some bag fulls into work to share around.

Yeah, we have the same issue at the moment with lemons and limes - more than we can keep up with :sad2:

Lemons, well shriveled yellow things that are advertised as lemons, 4 for $5 at Holes or $1.50ea :shock:
