we may be growing a lime!

not one the size of a tic tac, but a real lime! i've had a dwarf lime tree in a container for two years now and we get teeny tiny limes that appear occasionally and drop off after a week or two. i realized the pot was probably too small - the old one was a plastic pot from IKEA measuring about 15" across and equally as deep - so we got a 10-gallon galvanized trash can, fertilized it with compost, and repotted it and voila! a lime bigger than any lime we've had before.

i'm very proud. if it drops off, i'm committing hari kari.
