Kumquats in August OhTwelve

My little dwarf kumquat tree has a whole new batch of fruit. Its leaves still drop off at an alarming rate, but they grow back rapidly, so I suppose it’s fine.

I used to water it at the same rate as my dwarf Meyer lemon tree, which the humming birds love, by the way, but I’ve found the lemon tree drinks twice as fast as the kumquats.

This is the little green glass bowl that I referenced in an earlier post that I got from Grandma Jean. I hope I’m able to keep it whole and unbroken for many years to come.
