Day 246 - Orange you glad I didn't say grapefruit?

Today Mykaela asked me when the grapefruit on our tree would be ripe

I told her I had no idea...and doubted they would be any good at all because of the frost we had

Plus most of them never grew very large, their color seemed a bit too light and the tree was already blooming

She was not convinced...so she plucked one off the tree and cut it open

It was perfectly perfect - who would have known

So we picked...and picked...and picked

Our tree had so much more fruit on it than I would have ever guessed

We picked for an hour and probably only got half the fruit off the tree

These pictures below are the "after"...showing all of the fruit that we couldn't get too

 

After collecting all of the grapefruit I decided that it would be fun to squeeze it and make some juice

Oh and I finally got to put my old orange juice bottles to use...

Yup, one hour in and I had squeezed over 36 grapefruits and had three bottles of juice 

And that's when I gave up for the day...and then realized how much fruit I had left

Yikes, that's a lot of fruit to squeeze!!!
