  When our citrus is close to “expiring”, we juice what is left, freeze in ice cube trays, then fill freezer zip bags. Then, during the winter months, anytime we need fresh lemon juice, we take out the number of cubes needed, thaw them and wallah ! Fresh juice for lemonade, vegetables or whatever you need it for. Best of all, no waste.

  I've watched at least 100 videos trying to figure out minor issues. Came upon yours and learned more in 20 minutes than the hours I put into watching others. I'm finding that other gardeners and professionals are trying to make it seem a bit more difficult than it has to be and you pretty much let everyone know it's not that hard. Observation and persistence is key to growing stuff. Thanks for your knowledge!

  For exceptional growing results, you need to wear flip flops when potting them.

  Maryland boy now in Palm Springs CA. I have a yard full of mature citrus: tangelo, pink grapefruit, blood orange, Valencia orange, Kumquat, and the only non-citrus, black mission fig. My trees produce massive amounts of fruit every year, much of which is shared with friends. This coming winter I’ll make a video and send to you of all the trees filled with fruit.

  Nice Mark!... when I move to Florida years ago there were orange groves everywhere now the Orange Groves are housing developments. You could go out in December, January, February and smell the orange blossoms and Jasmine's it was absolutely wonderful. I bought my citrus trees from a nursery here and they told me not to eat the first Year's growth. Also I also use plastic pots because they dry out quicker. The nursery also told me to keep the plants cool, not freezing December, January and February that would make the fruit sweeter. Thanks again so much for taking time out I'm sharing your knowledge with us your viewers. Thanks...

  Orange flowering season is amazing in Florida. For a couple of weeks (usually in early March), the evening air is just heady with the sweet scent.

  Omg the smell of a Tahitian lime. Hoping to keep mine alive again this year. I have several citrus trees and to keep them alive has been a challenge for me due to several factors but your tips were helpful
