Oranges are the only fruit

Or at least we thinks it's an orange. The fruit is far from orange - more yellow-green - but I've learnt recently that Californian oranges are often dyed their vivid colour. And they're rather sour like grapefruit too - but then it seems that December is the earliest point for ripe oranges in the northern hemisphere so we can probably afford to wait a few weeks.



We have great plans for an orchard, mainly for wine-making purposes, but at the moment we're limited to one not-quite-ready orange tree.

We did quite enjoy our first taste of the fruit today though - cut in half and covered in a generous amount of brown sugar.
