A learning journey of a city-slicker dreaming to live off of the land as much as possible, trying my hand at growing as much food as possible on a regular city plot. City Farm in the making with lots of pictures!

Harvest Updates Sept 27th~Oct 8th
Lots of late summer tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchinis
I'm sorry to hear about your job situation now too.. It looks like you're getting lots of food from the garden though! What kind of oranges do you have that are ripe right now? Our varieties are all ripe Jan-April.
Hi Rachel, I believe our variety is Valencia, although I'm not 100% sure because the tree has been here before I moved in. It is an unusual tree, it ripens from July and keeps the fruit juicy up until Winter. My mom has a navel orange that only keeps on the tree from Feb to about April. After that all the juice seemed to get sapped away by the new flowers and baby fruits. Our tree has this years fruit, and last years fruit all at one time and seems to keep the old fruit quite moist. It's an excellent juicing orange, lots of seeds though
