Meet Barbara

This is Barbara. She's a lime tree.


She came to me nameless and just about homeless. I'm her third mom in a year. I'm usually an advocate for unwanted animals, but unwanted lime trees? New territory for me.

I agreed to babysit her over the winter, as my neighbor (her second mom) didn't have room in her house with her four other citrus trees. In a sudden change of heart, my neighbor decided to give me Barbara outright.


I think she likes her new home. She's sending out new leaves like crazy and budding a lot.


Just don't tell Barb that I'm using her offspring for margaritas.
