My Citrus Plants

This is the month of the year that I love to hang out in the garden. It is breezy and it is cooler so; scorching heat is over. I embrace the awesome Fall ... well, I am not really a big fan of the leaves falling but, I am loving the weather. Now, let me share to you the awesome flowers of my citrus plants.

Benefits of Citrus:
-calm tension and anxiety
-fight against cancer
-reduce wrinkles
-helps with asthma
- fights the flu and cold
-natural antihistamine
-elevates the mood
-body cleanser
- digestive aid and more

The citrus juice has medical uses like the lemon juice which is use to relieve the pain of bee stings. If you need vitamin C, eat oranges. The extract of citrus fruits is also used in medicine such as the Tylenol, that's according to wiki.

More Benefits of Citrus:
- reduce cholesterol
-control blood pressure
-skin brightener
- neutralizes free radicals

According to what I read in Wiki, "Citrus fruit juices are also useful for lowering the risk factors for specific types of kidney stones. The Grapefruit can also lower blood pressure because it interferes with the metabolism of calcium channel blockers". Now, if you want to know more, go and find some good resource readings on the Web. Information like this is truly helpful to know that is why; I appreciate my plants even more.

I have lime, lemon, sour orange, kumquats and calamondin. What's yours?

Farmers Market In Florida

Highway West 98 is truly a nice route for road trips. If you are coming from south of Florida and just love traveling down to the gulf of Mexico, this is a wonderful and fun drive ever. Highway 75 and I-10 are so much different. And this is just one of the few things you will see on this highway.
This is a makeshift stand selling vegetables and fruits fresh the farmers garden here in Florida. Truly cheap and the oranges are so delicious and sweet.
Look at this lovely vegie...the owner of this place just smile at me while i took these pictures. She must be thinking, "poor girl, she never saw a farmers market before ...LOL"
Ohh my favorite. I did not buy because I just brought a bag of grapes for my road trip snacks...hehehe.
Sweet honey here...
These oranges was damage by the cold weather for 2 weeks. If you click the photo, there were really spots so, it really affected the farmers. Forcing them to sell this oranges into 10 for $1.
Pumpkin... the display still looks gorgeous isn't it?
The lonesome man who buy the Citrus....hehehe... We actually bought $3 worth of 13 fruits...i will be showing you what we bought for that little amount.
This is 6 for a $1....I had so much fun eating this citrus....no wonder, Florida has Citrus Parade to brag about. Imagine this tons of oranges.
