| Limequat - Lakeland |
Its been a great week for us here, new shipment of citrus came in, We managed to get our hands on the lakeland limequat which Ive been wanting for some time now. Whenever the limequats come around its usually the eustis, our normal supplier does not carry the lakeland so we were very lucky to find this one available. The next mission will be to source the tarvaes, part of our goal is to locate old/odd varieties that the industry has neglected, often at times for the oddest reasons, but I digress.
We just added a new berry bush to our collection!! ( cherry red current ) and a rhubarb ( crimson cherry ).
It will be interesting to compare the two rhubarbs we have ( Canada red + crimson cherry ) as when I was growing up I never knew there was more then one type.
I stumbled across this little guy the other day ( american oil beetle ), this is the first time Ive seen one, very strange looking thing, almost seemed to stop and watch me as I brought the camera closer, his colour was the most vibrant blue with almost an iridescence as it stumbled quickly along the grass.

and to top it all off, we have a week/two of 20c+ weather!. Cant beat that in spring, especially for Canada.
This coming week we will be placing an order with our new sub-tropical fruit tree supplier, as well as sourcing an organic fertilizer we can start to sell + work on our rabbit/chicken shelter.
Spring is never a boring time round here.
