After a cold, dry week, our rain has returned. 1.18" have fallen so far today, bringing us to 10.08" year to date, and it's still pounding the windowpanes as I type! Fortunately, it paused just long enough today for me to harvest 400# of postcard-perfect Algerian "Clementine" Tangerines for Frog Hollow's Happy Child CSA this morning. They have already enjoyed Page Tangelos and Owari Satsuma Mandarins. Next week, we will begin our Meyer Lemon harvest for their marmalade. We had a cheerful and productive holiday season. Our final order of the year was filled for Ristorante Avanti on New Year's Eve and included Buddha Hand Citrons, Yuzus, Bergamot Sour Oranges, Meyer Lemons, Bearss Limes, Owari Satsuma Mandarins and Hayward Kiwis. We are grateful for El Niño's atmospheric flow. It sure is fun to see storms stacked up back to back out past Hawaii! Thanks for reading, and wishing you all the best in 2016!!
