I did it!.....took a seed from an orange and got it to sprout!.....seed came from my father-in-laws orange tree in south Texas.......now I gotta figure out how to keep it alive....anybody got any pointers?......I have one orange and one lemon tree in my orchard......they seem to handle the light winters here.....anyways, here it is about 1" high: I feel like "The Martian".......

...watch out for the Asian citrus leaf miner...

.....yes I know them little critters well....but these things pose more of a threat in my neck of the woods!


.....although those leafminers can be pests just as well.....


....come to think of it, I've got some squiggly lines like that on my right testicle.....it is possible I've got a leafminer problem of my own????.....

.......and just for kicks......some adult asian leafminer porn: (photo courtesy of J.M.S. Bento ----- that dude is sick!).......



....."easy!....easy there!.....you're bending my wing dammit!".......(said one miner to the other)...........
