What a delight to see giant grapefruit dripping from trees in residental yards and to pick tangerines from my friend Joan’s tree. More than 30% of Florida’s crops were destroyed last week due to the freakish cold weather, according to news reports. So please support your local growers this season, they need you more than ever!
