Trimming the grapefruit tree and Amy comes for a visit

Our grapefruit tree is going nuts this year. It has over 100 grapefruits and it's grown too tall. The fruit is mostly on the lower part of the tree and my merciless trimming only removes the new "summer" growth on the top.



The problem with this tree is that it's too close to the house. I don't know a whole lot about pruning fruit trees My objective is to keep it away from the house and below the roofline.




Amy is always welcome and whenever she shows up for a visit we do a bit of experimenting in the kitchen. She always has something new for us to try. Tonight it's grilled Italian sausage and pasta.

Pairing wine with pizza

Yes, that's bacon and crushed almonds on the green beans.
