And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
One thing I regularly regret leaving in SoCal was our two Meyer lemon trees. Lemonade that still retains lemon oils from a fresh lemon it hard to beat.
It took me over three years to nurse some near dead Myer lemon trees back to health. A road construction had severed some large roots. A botanist told me that a citrus main tap root might extend 200 feet or more horizontally.
Your pepper is especially colorful. What is the taste of that variety?
The fungal infection on the lemons could be from the tree being too wet for too long. Your county ag extension office could advise how to treat.
Dad had planted various types of fruit trees. The lemon produced bushels of fruit. Your photo is cause for me to remember the many pleasant times involving harvest and prossessing to make lemonade of course but also a large number of recipes. The house would be filled with the aroma of fresh lemon The store bought extract doesn't even rate.
Not "call an ambulance, I need to go to the ER" hot, but hard to eat off the vine. I smoke mine and make hot pepper flakes, or process one or two chopped into a weekend morning egg frittata breakfast.
The modern art masterpiece of a square of wrinkled foil lying above thin parallel lines on a charcoal background is ... provocative. What could it mean?

The pepper is a Chinese Five Color, named for obvious reasons. For some reason I do well growing that variety.
DeleteHow hot are they?

DeleteThanks, they look nice but a fresh jalapeño is about my limit.
