#Bearss limes

In My San Diego Garden and Kitchen

The thumbnail is a sampling of the garden bounty last week. A cousin moved from Boston to San Diego recently and this was a welcome garden gift. She’s excited to think about growing vegetables 52 weeks a year, (as in ediblegardens52).

A salad with similar harvests of four kinds of lettuce, Tuscan kale, celery and purple cauliflower came together for a dinner with family.

I harvested the last of the Premium Crop broccoli and only one DePurple cauliflower remains in the garden. The Romanesco will be ready this week.

The coincidence of magenta garden vegetables and flowers.

Some of the citrus harvests this week—Bearss limes, Satsuma tangerines and navel oranges.

Another garden salad with a gifted Fuyu persimmon and additions of roasted pistachios and perfectly ripe avocado.

A wintry white bouquet from the perennial garden for the church entry table.

Citrus Trees: Lessons Learned In 2023 Part 1

Lime Trees Despite last year’s drought, our lime trees produced a fantastic harvest. We gathered several crops of Tahitian, calamansi and West Indian limes, with the West Indian and calamansi lime varieties proving to be the most fruitful due to their small size. While our Makrut limes experienced some struggle when placed in full sun, we found they thrived in areas with semi-shade. Our mature…

I have come to feel that limes are the most divine citrus of all.

Limes. Key limes. Bearss limes. Calamondins are his absolute fave. If you ever want to win brownie points, show up with calamondins, caviar limes and blood limes! Just no kaffir limes.

Tahitian Lime in full flower (Citrus × latifolia) also known as Persian lime , seedless lime and Bearss lime, it’s a hybrid citrus fruit species that grows only in cultivation. This lime is a cross between a key lime and a lemon. These limes are usually sold green but I like to eat them ripe. This one is being overshadowed by our enormous lemon so does struggle a bit. All our citrus are grafted as these do better and are more true to type than seedlings. #tahitianlime #PersianLime #BearssLime #citrus #CitrusXLatifolia #keylime #lemon #ornamental #fruit #flower #abcmygarden #perfume #fragrant #GreenLime (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci9l1WPP8Fd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In My San Diego Garden and Kitchen

The last two weeks have been all about broccoli. First came the stunning Jacaranda variety from Territorial Seed Co. They promise heads of five inches, but mine are typically a couple inches larger. This cross of broccoli and cauliflower is my compromise since purple sprouting broccoli is rarely successful in my USDA Zone 10 garden. The purple flowerlets grace my salads but steamed, Jacaranda shows up green. The only downside is no side shoots.

Planted in this 4 x 6 foot area are twelve broccoli plants—six each of Jacaranda and Premium Crop. I space them about 15 inches apart in well-amended soil.

Premium Crop broccoli heads are generous, often 9-10 inches across and give the added benefit of bountiful side shoots. It is well-suited to Southern California but the seeds are often difficult to find. This year’s heads are somewhat smaller, possibly due to growing conditions or the seed source.

Most dinner meals include broccoli these days—steamed or in soups and casseroles. I’m consulting my broccoli recipe folder almost daily. Several heads just harvested will be prepped for freezer storage tomorrow.

Here’s a tray of garden gifts for a friend including Black Magic kale, Dark Lollo Rossa and Little Gem lettuces, arugula, Jacaranda broccoli and French sorrel.

Bearss limes ripen at a reasonable pace on my patio container tree. Absent lemons, I made lavender limeade with a few errant lavender blossoms.

Though flowers are sparse in the perennial garden, I managed a bouquet for the church entry yesterday. Don’t we all need some winter cheer?

Bearss limes in the making. These will take a few months to mature. They are a fragrant delicious variety of limes. In case you wondered, where did this variety come from? Bearss lime Citrus latifolia (Yu. Tanaka) Tanaka Parentage/origins: Original source tree came from Hayos Ranch, Indio, Ca. Bearss lime is reported to have originated as a seedling of a tree grown from seed from a fruit of Tahitian origin. #healthyfood #sandiego #california #limes #agriculture #citrus #healingtimebooks (at San Diego County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaslsnBfVH/?igshid=k1jwivbbotfs
