Lime - Kaffir
Lime - Kaffir The Kaffir Lime produces a dark green, bumpy fruit with leaves, zest, and juice that's used in Thai, Cambodian, and Indonesian cooking. Even the leaves are often used as an essential ingredient for flavoring many Asian dishes such as soups, curries and fish. This dwarf citrus tree, reaching up to 5 feet tall, can be grown outdoors year round in zones 9-10, but it is best suited for indoors. The Kaffir Lime tree thrives in potted environments and does well when grown on the patio or deck; in colder climates it needs to be brought indoors during winter. Its container needs to provide adequate drainage, and it prefers full sun in moist soil. This tree is prone to root rot if kept too wet, so it is best to allow the soil to dry out some between waterings. If grown indoors, keep near a sunny window.

| Raspberry - Latham - Sale Price: $42.75 The Latham Raspberry, 'Rubus 'Latham', is a popular red raspberry that produces large crops of big juicy berries. It makes a delicious jam or a dessert as well as for fresh eating. Latham is a sure cropper for home use as this variety starts ripening in July and continues to ripen over a long period of time. Latham is a hardy, older cultivar bearing somewhat in fall and is suitable for inter-mountain regions. This raspberry has become a standard in early-bearing garden and pick-your-own operations. The berries are versatile and can be used as fresh fruit, in preserves, or in pies and pastries. Raspberries may be grown successfully at an elevation as high as 7,000 feet. They do best in full sun on non-alkaline, fertile loam soil. However, they may be grown in partial shade or under other environmental constraints. Natural protection against strong winter winds are provided in some valleys, but in other areas it is necessary to provide artificial protection during winter months. Although a well-drained soil is essential for success, a sandy soil will need to have plenty of organic matter incorporated in preparation. Raspberries need a plentiful supply of moisture throughout the growing season. Raspberries take little space and live for years. Birds also love the fruit, so you may have to share the harvest! |
