mme_hardy | This weekend: partial list (Reply)

The nice thing about posting on DW is that I don't have to look up an image to post. This weekend, instead of farmer's market, we did the ritual spring plant buy. I now have three different varieties of tomato, five (I think) of hot pepper, cumin plants (!), a European elderberry, a Bearss lime, a dramatic purple plant whose name I misremember, and two tarragon plants. Also I watered the front yard when I got home. The new gardener who was supposed to show up yesterday didn't, and hasn't answered a text. I fear I shall have to find a new new gardener. In any case, I'm having an arborist in to look at the condition of some trees I'm worried about, prune the front-yard lemon, evaluate the apples I raised from grafts, and take out the dead peach tree and a volunteer acacia.

I wrote the (quite large) grower of the lime tree and asked about its size; the label says it's a semi-dwarf but not how big it is. Here's the reply I got:

Citrus can be pruned to your desired height and width. If left unpruned it should reach a larger size planted in the ground. If grown in a pot that will limit to some extent the size.

Well, that's helpful.
