How to make a citrus flower arrangement for your home

How to make a citrus flower arrangement for your home

It’s lime season at the Lam household which means lots of lime-aide, freshly squeezed lime to enhance our food, and yes, even limes in my flower arrangements!  We have an AMAZING cocktail tree in the backyard.  This tree has grafts of many citrus fruits in a single tree so you do not get a huge amount of each citrus when the season arrives.  We get Meyer lemons, grapefruits, limes, and mandarin oranges all in one tree! Cool, right?  If you live in a zone where you can grow citrus, I highly recommend this tree (I would say zone 7 or lower).  Now for the flower arrangement; you could create this arrangement with Meyer lemons, fruits that are a little more cold hardy (would do ok in zone 8).

Gardening for beginners

Have you ever heard of aeroponic gardening?  What if I told you that you could garden and never have to pick a weed or dig in the dirt?  You can say good bye to all the tedious weeding and messy soil if you learn how to garden using aeroponics!  I place my Tower Garden right by my back door of my house.  In those hot summer months, I can easily go outside and pick herbs or lettuce for my meals.
