Cumquats on the other hand are brilliant in pots, don't get very big at all and make lovely marmalade. Probably the sensible choice....Lizhttp://www.suburbantomato.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258484059999383214.post-18436657769556097452012-02-01T21:37:04.490+11:002012-02-01T21:37:04.490+11:00Oh I am totally envious!

Yep I can do some pots, I have heard that a finger lime goes ok in a pot? What do you think? Think I fancy a cumquat!

I also have a finger lime - they are really prickly. Now of course none of these have fruited except for the passionfruit & the tamarillo (I did eat those last 4 fruits)but I hopefully I'll get some citrus for the first time this year which would make me really happy. The dwarf citrus are all in pots - do you have space for pots? Dwarf is good, expensive but good....also the finger lime seems pretty small - well mine is at the moment anyway.Lizhttp://www.suburbantomato.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258484059999383214.post-82623118147168340072012-01-30T21:52:51.398+11:002012-01-30T21:52:51.398+11:00Yep, blog skills are getting there, gradually!

Last year I planted too late and the crop was a bit meagre http://500m2.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/harvest-time/ but this year my plants are amost ready and they are looking good! I bought the seeds from Green Harvest http://greenharvest.com.au/seeds/vegetables_beans.html but I found the germination rate a bit low. It will be interesting to see if it improves next year with the seeds I save from this year's crop.<br /><br />Not sure if you got my email, but you can get padron seeds from The Italian Gardener and finger limes from Daley's Fruit.L from 500m2 in Sydneyhttp://500m2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
