The Citrus Saga
It's been nearly two years! since I transplanted the kumquat and started fertilizing the lemon, but new observations and reporting are now in! That's because it's the first season that exciting updates are to be shared.
First, the kumquat. It's grown a lot since transplanting and the leaves have stayed bright green since my last update, aside from the (uh-hum) white paint the birds have added.
Today, I picked a bunch of kumquats and snacked on them with sips of earl grey tea. They were delicious and a lovely afternoon snack.
Next, the lemon tree – one of the first things I planted on my gardening adventure.
It's doing wonderfully; amazing to see how far it's come.

I'm making a recipe with them that is currently "brewing" and will be ready for the 4th of July, so stay tuned to find out what I'm turning these lemons into!
