Spring 2026: Citrus Shoots
Good day to all nature enthusiasts visiting the blog! It's a joy to connect and
share the latest from my green corner.
The Rain: Last night brought a very welcome rainfall. Although
accompanied by strong winds, the rain itself was gentle and left the entire
garden beautifully moisturized, filling the air with that distinct "after rain"
scent plants love. This water is incredibly beneficial, especially this time of
year.
In the Greenhouse: Thanks to the increased ambient humidity, the
seedlings in the greenhouse are doing wonderfully. I've been nurturing a
germination tray filled with rice seeds. As you can see, they have sprouted
vigorously, showing strong white roots and their first little green leaves.
Tomorrow, taking advantage of the damp garden soil, I will be transplanting them
into prepared pots filled with a mix of soil and worm humus!

A stroll through the garden revealed two more delights. First, my wild lemon tree is
covered in pink buds, just about to burst open. While the fruit itself is quite
acidic and small, turning a vibrant orange when ripe, it is incredibly juicy and has
a unique, intense fragrance. It's a beautiful example of the charm found in natural,
rustic varieties.
Second, as reliable as ever, the Freesia laxa (also known as the false freesia) has
started to bloom. Its delicate pink flowers with darker specks are an unmistakable
sign that the flowering season is in full swing. It's a very rewarding and faithful
bulbous plant.
Gardening and Natural Farming Info:
Natural Fruit Growing for Wild Citrus: When cultivating wild or native citrus,
prioritize organic fertilization (compost, well-aged manure). They don't require
pruning as heavily as commercial hybrids; a light pruning to remove dead
branches is often sufficient. Their natural acidity makes them more resistant to
certain pests.
Organic Grains in Pots (Rice): Growing rice at home is a fascinating experiment.
After the germination you see in the photo, transplanting to pots with rich soil
and plenty of humus is crucial. Rice needs to grow in saturated, almost flooded
soil for most of its cycle, so consider using pots without drainage or placing
them inside a larger container of water. An excellent way to have your very own
"rice paddy" at home!
