Final meal with miner's lettuce, letting the remainder go to seed for next year. Now switching to spinach and lettuce from the raised beds.

All done with orange marmalade and orange jam. Marmalade is work because it requires zesting. Jam is ridiculously simple: wash oranges, throw whole in food processor, but you want thin skinned ones with little pith (white).

BTW: You *can* compare apples and oranges as long as you think Dutch, where they are "Chinese apples", 😉.

Trump's punitive tariffs are not really causing concern among the penguin colony on Heard and McDonald Islands.

Does anybody know, can I eat this orange? It has a "yucky" spot, like in the peel/uh ... um ... I wanna say the pith. What the heck is a pith?

Anyway, it doesn't touch the bit I would eat. I hate to waste, and stressed fruit & veg may even be more nutricious (so I've heard). Hopeful the internets want to help 🤔

Thank you in advance, awesome peeps of Mastodon!

I think there was a chinotto in between my taroccos, so bitter and lifeless, with huge seeds. #oranges

We've had a respite today from the copious rain of this week. It's late afternoon, and I just had go to the back of the yard, to gaze at the #oranges awash in warm light against a vivid blue sky. They are perfectly ripe. #SacramentoValley #NorthernCalifornia #Winter #Citrus #Trees #Gratitude

"Some British retailers and wholesalers have been forced to switch to sourcing #oranges from South Africa and South America early after last month’s catastrophic floods in eastern #Spain left farmers struggling to harvest and ship their crops."

This leads to #ClimateInflation in your grocery bill.

(Also, know the seasons of your produce.
So you don't have to buy them from the *other hemisphere*).

Good news everyone: I bought a bag of mandarin oranges at a reasonable price and they're excellent.
