Calamansi is a tree abundant here in the Philippines. It's called Calamondin in other countries. It's a small sour fruit from the citrus family that's being used as condiment (with soy sauce) and about four to five pieces of which squeezed in a glass of water with a small amount of sugar or honey

I got too excited seeing lots of beautiful fragrant flowers, I took a lot of photos because I feel accomplished having just planted this from seed. I hope to have more of these at our mini farm soon. I'm excited!
Happy Weekend my loves!

DeleteI have a potted one here. I love calamansi, and I prefer them to lemons.
ReplyDeleteOh good! I planted a lemon once but it didn't live long, probably because of the weather. Thanks Kayni!

DeleteHi Lei! When you mentioned in you rprofile that you love gardening, I knew instantly I'd have tons of things to read here. I dream of having a farm house and start an edible garden. It's not happening soon because of my current living arrangement, but someday, it will. Have a great day in Bulacan! I'm hail from Nueva Ecija naman (promdi living is the best!) but lives in Manila and Bacoor at present. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Edel! I'm so happy to know that! You're definitely right, promdi living is the best ever!
