ORANGES

We seldom get more than a dozen tangerines, oranges @ our home in Mexico.   This year bringing fertilizer.  This is what our Orange tree in Casa Grande produced....had to harvest today as there is a frost warning tonight.

There is probably a couple crates we gotta pick yet before the freeze. HARD to believe one tree can produce this many oranges.

What is a "frost warning"?

You always crack me up Ivan.   The temp here is supposed to hit 30 tonight may damage the citrus trees!

We saved our Oranges! We had a frost delay at the golf course today......tee times were pushed back 1 hour.

Juice or eating oranges?

We ended up with approx 175 pounds......shipping  75 pounds to friends in the NW(Oregon) tomorrow. 90 pounds here.

My late mother-in-law lived in Northern Cal and used to send me a box of oranges for Christmas. After she died, I missed them so much I found a nearby company that would ship them to me in Colorado. When we moved to the mountains, having a box of oranges left by UPS in the snow for a half a day didn't work so well.

Flamingo, That really bites. Fortunately, they are going to Portland and know they are coming, and can track them.....Fed Ex Ground.
