the 1st orange

I saw the 1st orange of the new season today!

I hope by the time I leave the trees are full of them again.

And did you know that although Sevilla is known for oranges there are no oranges that are actually grown here for commerce - this is olive country. Although the oranges that grow, all around the city, are picked by the government towards the end of February/beginning of March, and they are sold to England and made into marmalade. They are horrible tasting and marmalade is all they're good for - ask Lizehte and Ken! We tried one together when they were here - it was grosser than gross.
