It was probably a working farm, . Here in Miami, most of the lime groves were in the south of the county, and were destroyed either by hurricanes of the ill-fated, poorly-thought-out citrus ban we had here for several years. They need the extra warmth of south Dade to thrive, and so you must live in a warm pocket of CA, since they're aren't grown very much there, are they? So when are you going to start producing lime blossom " neroli " or absolute? ;-) Anya McCoy Anya's Garden of Natural Perfume http://anyasgarden.com Artisan Natural Perfumers Guild http://artisannaturalperfumers.org Natural Perfumers Chat Group / ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Our town is full of oaks and the city collects our leaves for free, mulches them, then sells them back to us and they stink up the entire town in the spring. The smell is similar to cow manure but much stronger. Enjoy! _,_._,___ --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Music Unlimited.

But what you didn't see is that before we all got liquored up, we'd retire to the shade of the lime trees, so we'd save outselves from the dermatitis, and the seviche and the dark- chocolate-dipped lime rinds would keep us from becoming too intoxicated... Yup -- the lime is always greener.... =: D Andrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we do live in a warm valley away from the coast, which is only 20 miles away, but 10-20 degrees cooler. Lime blossoms are just as fragrant as all citrus, but I'm just too lazy to process them. Must be all that sun. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly, it was good to eat after just a week, though is improving with age: http://www.nandyala.org/mahanandi/archives/2005/05/20/lime-pickle I have to be honest, all credit for the lime pickle must go to my daughter Lucy, who is visiting from England for a few weeks and we're working on some perfume ideas together.
