When Life Gives You Lemons

I got this message from Paul Misko a while ago and have never posted it. The thought of fruit on the trees gets me in the mood for spring which, incidentally, starts on Friday! Whoooo Hooooo!

"Aside from adding lots of heat to your home, here is another good reason to add on a sunroom. It allows you to grow a good crop of fruit year round. I've got lemons, limes, honeybells, grapefruit, and strawberries. Of course they go outdoors in the spring, but there are no pests waiting for the citrus. Had an orange tree for years, but it got too big. It was great to pick a couple, and squeeze a glass full of juice. If Florida's citrus crop ever fails, New York can provide the backup, with gift boxes of citrus headed south for a change."
