The Key lime hydrate are back in time of year , even though everyone knows it ’s totally inconceivable to grow them in North Florida :
North Florida Key calcined lime ! ! !
Those North Florida Key limes are patently just an head game . Perhaps they ’re just a reflection of some Psidium guajava floating in the sky above … or maybe , just maybe , your devious host has purchased some central limes from the grocery store and put them in one of his married woman ’s bowls …
But wait ! If you ’ve seen my awesome small homestead horticulture video ( which is just $ 4.99 to rent or $ 12.99 for the full download ) , you see this tree diagram in there and get word more about how I pulled it off .
Through the power of harnessing microclimates , you may grow primal limes in North Florida without even protecting them in the wintertime .
This twelvemonth there are scores of Key burnt lime on the tree … it ’s been amazing to see them all . The fruit in the bowl are just the first few we harvest .
North Florida Key limes!!!
fundamental limes have a long season so this tree diagram is going to be yield us fruit well into the winter this year . There are slew and lots of very unripened limes still hanging on the branches in various stage of development .
I ’m absolutely tickle pink with how this multi - year experimentation has progressed . It ’s a complete succeeder .
( really , as I type this clause on Saturday night , I ’m drinking a Mason jar of beer with half a fundamental lime twitch into it . Amazing . My apology to any Baptist readers … as a appendage of the button-down but still awing Orthodox Presbyterian Church , I ’m completely allowed to drink beer and smoke cigars without endangering my soul . Neener neener . )
And , of trend , what ’s the very upright thing to do with Key lime ?
KEY LIME PIE ! ! !
If you exist further north , say up in Georgia or even way up in New Hampshire , you’re able to still develop Key Limes in big pots and in all likelihood get enough fruit for your own pie - making .
I ’m light-headed to have pulled this off class after year without ever throwing a sheet of paper on the tree or pulling out the Christmas light to keep it warm .
Microclimates are amazing . And so is fundamental lime pie .
