10th January - a hidden surprise! (Patreon)

We have been very surprised to find hidden behind the wall at the end of the garden  a tree full of oranges!  Last year when we moved in the tree had a few dried up fruits on we thought were limes - but no we have a lot of oranges instead.

Coming from the UK, having citrus fruit growing in the garden gets us very excited indeed!

It does seem very early for oranges - online it says they are usually from the end of March towards the end of October.  I wonder if January is very unusual.

I am thinking of making marmalade - like Paddington the Bear I love marmalade sandwiches.
