Plant of the Day
Monday 25 December 2023
Last year my friend was given a Citrus × aurantium f. aurantium (sweet orange) as a houseplant by her daughter. It grew in a conservatory and this small tree flowered filling the house with scent. Then six fruits developed, ripened and now have been made into delicious jars of marmalade in time to be festive gifts. This is my wonderful jar. The sweet orange is a hybrid between Citrus maxima (pomelo) and Citrus reticulata (mandarin).

Every time the lil nutrition radar chart comes up in dungeon meshi I feel this mounting sense of foreboding, because their food (while relatively balanced, and certainly (very) high in iron most times) never has vitamin C in it! The vitamin C axis is there, so it must be there for a reason, and the way this story has committed to grounding everything in such a cool way so far has me dreading the consequences of their fruit-free dungeon spree.
So anyway, I’m looking forward to Chapter 70: everyone’s teeth fall out and then they die of scurvy.

I have always always wanted a lemon or an orange tree and to see my neighbors living that dream fuels my fire to make it happen. Should I adopt an orange tree baby???🍊 (no, because if it dies I’ll literally sob.)
