Lime-a-licious

It has to be said that since Thai recipes/restaurants have come to fruition in the recent years I have developed a love for the wonderful lime.  The expense of the fruit has led me to acquiring our own tree-ette.  This gorgeous plant is doing extremely well and I hope that in the next months it will produce the wonderful fruit I am so looking forward to.  

My darling aunt whom I recently visited during the Easter hols has a magnificent lime tree growing in a terracotta pot on her patio, eastern facing.  It had some lovely fruit on it and hence I thought I would give it a try too.  I have read that March and August are the fertilising times and so I have invested in citrus fertiliser so stand by.....photos of fruit may happen!! Please check out the wonderful Vietnamese/Thai salad dressing using limes on my Food for Friends blog....it is truly delicious.
