Home Grown Limes

We have had our lime tree for about 6 years. The first few years the harvest was wimpy (borrowing my American friend’s description of her home grown vegetables) and poorly but for the last two seasons, we had plenty of fruits. This year is no exception – we must have nearly a hundred. The branches are heavy with fruits. I am very happy – the two-fruit- a year is the thing of the past.

So my dear readers, kindly expect several recipes with limes in the next few weeks. Limes can make such a lot of good summer drinks – it’s a shame their high season is in Autumn/Winter here but never mind, we will make the most of them apart from giving away to friends and neighbours.
