I am lucky to live in Florida, and I have every intention of buying a dwarf lime tree soon! (I’ve been calling it a Margarita tree, LOL!) There’s a farm stand a short distance from us, so I can get limes @ 4/$1, so I’m also planning to try your wonderful recipes! They are beautiful and I’m sure they’ll be tasty. Thanks!
You lucky gal! I need me a margarita tree. Love it! Salud!
Perfect! I was looking for something fresh and a bit different.
So happy to hear that Suki! Salud.
