A big thankyou goes out to our navel orange tree this year. It went above and beyond to provide us with the best oranges! Ken and I picked it clean and ended up with about 6 grocery sacks full and that was after we thought oh there are only a few left on there! ha! They hide! They were so good this year, very juicey and sweet. We usually start picking right around christmas so good heavens we've been picking for 3 months and still had so many left. We seemed to have a ton of them this year. We shared many, our company that came to the family reunion enjoyed getting to pick their own citrus to take home. I think it was a great "orange" kind of year. So now the tree can rest and be busy making all those little oranges on there into another wonderful crop! The refrigerator is full so they should keep quite a while! I love having mature trees out in the yard and being able to run pick a few every day to eat for lunch at work.
