Rain and wind make for terrible growing conditions around the acre for everything but the citrus. For the first time in several years it looks like all the trees — navel orange, grapefruit, mandarin and tangerine — will be full of fruit this winter.

Grapefruit ripening in December at Sage’s Acre
Tasty sweet mandarin oranges ripening
Navel Oranges just days away from fully ripe
Tangerines just beginning to ripen in December

All well and good. Not only do us people enjoy the fruit, but the ducks are big fans too.
