BLOOD ORANGES

This orange is from my girlfriend's orange tree down the street. Maria has two trees in her back yard, one that produces the regular orange and the other that produces Blood Oranges, like in Italy

WELCOME TO CIGALE'S GARDEN

One of my Christmas gifts from my Mother was this sign to welcome my gardene to all that come to our home. My gardent does not look like much this time of year but in the spring time the gardent has all kinds of great things growing! My tulips and daffodils of starting to peek through the dirt and make their way into the new year.

Early Peach Bloom



Winter has been mild this year. We've only had a few days in the 50's, where the nights have been in the low 30's. Spring is not officially over for another two months and still we could experience a heavy overnight frost, which could kill all the little buds and damage the peach crop. Last year in March we had a hard freeze overnight and killed a lot of the peach buds. This year there alot of blooms and hopefully we will have a bumper crop. Our tree is 3 years old and looks strong and full of blooms.

Our peach tree produces the most amazing peaches, white fleshly full body sweet nectar of the Gods, almost as good as S--. I pray to the Gods for a mild next two months so our peach tree can once again produce the beast peaches in Florida.
