Well done to Bob for his green fingers, and I'm almost certain I have read, that this is not the first time Bob has grown trees from pips.!! The grapefruit enjoyed by you and all your neighbours is making my mouth water, as I love this fruit, and it is a pity your tree died. I like how you left your fruit picker next to the tree, to be used by everyone in your street. It's broken now but it had a long life, and still came in useful in your photos.:=)) I enjoyed reading all about it.Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-23943703363888972372021-09-25T20:30:57.289-04:002021-09-25T20:30:57.289-04:00If my apple tree survives the drought, I may have ...If my apple tree survives the drought, I may have to look into getting a picker.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-26077100359696657672021-09-25T16:49:24.150-04:002021-09-25T16:49:24.150-04:00Never heard of, never saw a picker before I read y...Never heard of, never saw a picker before I read your story and saw your photo.
