Maybe I’ll plant the pomelos between the bananas and coffee trees…

Haha, well….you might need some bigger barrels to handle the pomelos. But just imagine the envious/confused looks you’ll get from your neighbors in the summer when you put that puppy out on your deck and wow them with your kickball-sized citrus fruits!

I’m terrible at growing things (I even killed the ornamental grass I was trying to grow), so I’m sure you’ll have better luck than me regardless

Kimberly,

I’m in the Finger Lakes. I have to keep my fig trees in barrels and inside for the winter! Same with the Meyer lemons.

I’m persistent and good at growing things, but doubt pomelos can make it here.

Still, I’ll look into it

Have you had buddha’s hand? Funny looking things. But I can’t handle the bitterness of kumquats or of anything for that matter, really…

Thomas, you should try growing Pomelos like my neighbors down the street

I’ll look for that Riesling. In the meantime, I’m looking for something similar. Seems like just the right kind of day here in Napa (85!)

Sounds like a fine salad dressing and recipe, Fredric.

BTW, if you can find Meyer lemons, try them in place of regular lemons for salad dressing. Meyer’s are a touch sweeter and add a nice spark.

With the price of lemons, I’m trying my hand at growing Meyers…so far, so good!
