My First Mandarin Oranges Are Here

I am so excited! I have to share with you today. My back yard has always been just a mish-mash of plants and stuff. With a pool that takes up most of my yard, I have very little space for plants.

My side yard faces the south and has the full heat of the day so I always wanted to put something there that would cut the heat a bit. So two years ago, I put in some citrus plants. I have been babying them watching to see if they will grow. With the heat of the sun, I wasn’t sure how they would do. Yesterday I was excited to check out the side and what did I find? My first Mandarin oranges! YAY

My First Mandarin Orange with fruits

I am in love with Mandarins and I knew I had to plant some. So I am thrilled that I have fruit! The other fruit trees have not come in yet so we shall see how they do this summer but I am flipping over these oranges.

I am happy happy… LOL
