Crazy for Citrus

The current ad for OSH peaked our interest in all things planted. There were flowers, citrus trees and herbs on sale so we drove the beast over to load up on anything that caught our eye. In the end we settled on three young citrus trees. A variegated pink lemon, a Satsuma mandarin, and a blood orange tree.
We pulled the barrels we used last year for annuals into the courtyard to maximize their sun exposure (and keep sneaky fingers from stealing our fruit) and started transplanting. These are the two oranges going in first, with the variegated pink lemon (pink flesh, classic lemon flavor) patiently waiting it's turn.
None of them have any fruit started on them yet, but maybe sometime before Chris gets any grayer, they will.
