Indoor Citrus Trees
Growing Citrus Trees Indoors
Growing fruit trees indoors is very rewarding and easy!
You don't need to be living in a warm climate (or even have a green thumb) to grow your own lemons, limes, oranges or many other fruit varieties in your home ...
Dwarf fruit trees can be grown in containers indoors during the winter months then brought outside when the weather warms up. We live in the MIdwest and these little trees are a treat for the senses ...
Not only are they visually attractive with their lush green foliage and white blossoms, but they're quite fragrant as well. Kind of like a natural room air freshener!
Why not add an indoor citrus tree to your home? They are easy to grow, fun to watch the fruit develop, and so satisfying to eat the ripe crop! They really do add a touch of the tropics to any living space ...

The #1 Selling Indoor Citrus Tree - Easy To Grow!
A Meyer Lemon Tree is compact enough for container growth indoors (or out in warmer months). Grow lemons on the patio and enjoy the sight and scent of indoor winter blooms with this container-sized Lemon tree. Compact enough even for urban balconies and limited-space gardens, Meyer Lemon will begin bearing large, juicy, thick-skinned fruit at an early age and just keep on producing them.

Even if there were no fruit at all, this evergreen would be attractive enough to grow as an ornamental. The leaves are lush and glossy, the small white flowers (arising indoors in late winter, just when the house needs some color and scent!) are intensely fragrant, and the habit is upright and well-branched. Depending on the size of the container and pruning you give it, this tree could reach 8 feet high and 10 feet wide, but can also be kept much smaller with pruning.
The lemons are the real prize of Meyer, however! They arise in clusters of about 6 after the blooms pass. Then you should thin them immediately to about 2 or 3 per cluster, unless you want more plentiful - but much smaller fruits. The fruit is very juicy, with an extra-thick skin that's great for lemon zest. Not just ornamental, these are delicious lemons you will find yourself slicing and squeezing all year long.
Give this tree plenty of sunshine and water indoors and out. When you bring it inside for the winter, place it by your sunniest window and rotate it frequently to get sunlight to all the leaves. If you have a window with afternoon sun exposure, that's best, but ample morning sun is just fine as well. An indoor lemon tree will reward you with a whole season of beauty before it's time to take it outdoors again for the warm weather!
New Indoor Citrus Trees!
Kumquat and Clementine
Indoor Kumquat Trees
If you're unfamiliar with kumquats, once you taste them you'll likely fall in love with their fresh, sweet taste! Kumquats are unusual in that their rind, or skin, is edible. Yes, you can eat the skin! In fact, the skin is the sweetest part of the fruit and is often used to make candies.
The dwarf kumquat tree (pictured) is very prolific and will yield fruit almost all year around. Like most indoor fruit trees, it will appreciate some times outdoors on a sunny patio during the warm summer months, although it's not required.
The fragrance of this tree is particularly attractive, as is its foliage. The indoor kumquat tree will serve as a natural room freshener ... much better than any from a spray bottle!
Indoor Clementine Tree
Clementines are becoming more and more popular due to their great taste and healthy benefits. Slightly smaller than an orange, they have the added benefit of being practically seedless ...
Kids also love them because they are super easy to peel! The skin practically falls off, yielding the sweet, juicy fruit.
The indoor clementine tree will top off at about three feet and is remarkably pest and disease free.
Indoor Citrus Tree Tip
Citrus requires a humidity level of 50 to 60 percent. Misting daily is very important. Try to make it part of your care routine.
Indoor Citrus Trees
5 Tips For A Healthy Vibrant Tree
If you've discovered the joy of growing an indoor fruit tree, you're likely very pleased with their low maintenance. Just about anyone can grow these citrus trees in just about any living space. Their fragrant blossoms and sweet delicious fruit make them a welcome addition to any home.
Here's 5 tips for making sure your indoor fruit tree is healthy, vibrant, and productive:
1. If you need to add soil to your tree container, never use soil from the yard or anywhere outside. Get a soil mixture with perlite mixed in. You can buy this mix online or at most garden centers. The soil mixture should be an airy potting soil, and you should add soil up to the line on the trunk where discoloration from the dirt used by the nursery ends. Leave enough space at the top of the pot to water thoroughly.
2. These trees like regular watering. For the most part, every week to 10 days is plenty. When the soil is no longer damp, go ahead and water. Be thorough but don't drench the soil. As for light exposure, a western or southern exposure is best.
3. Not only do indoor citrus trees like water, they like to be fed as well. Once a month, fertilize them with a specially formulated fertilizer made for indoor citrus varieties. If you don't want to buy a specialized fertilizer, no worries. The key ingredients are zine, iron, and manganese. Most good quality multipurpose fertilizers contain these ingredients.
4. Most humans hate humidity, but as you might imagine, indoor citrus trees love it. If your living space is dry, particularly in the colder months, add moisture with a humidifier, or mist them frequently. Another good idea is to place your tree container in a tray filled with pebbles and water added to the top of the pebbles. Note of caution: Don't put your tree directly in front of a drafty vent.
5. When it gets warm outside, give your tree some TLC and let it live outside on a patio or balcony. The outdoor sun will do your tree good, but acclimate it to full sunlight gradually. We usually place our trees in a shady area for a few days first.
Other Tips
After you've owned your tree for a while, you'll notice it will produce quite a number of blossoms. Not all of these blossoms will produce fruit, but you can help encourage fruit production. Take a soft small paintbrush and brush the stamens of open blossoms from blossom to blossom. Basically, you're helping the pollination process.
Lastly, for pests, spray your tree with an organic soap spray or horticultural oil. Your most common pest will likely be spider mites, white flies or aphids. Misting the tree daily with water helps to discourage pest infestations and helps keep the tree dust free.

Dwarf Fruit Trees in Containers
Care For Growing Fruit Trees Indoors
People frequently want to grow some type of fruit tree in a container, usually because of poor soil, improper climate or lack of sufficient space as is often the case around apartments and condominiums. Fortunately, a wide variety of fruit trees can be grown in containers with success.
One of the principal reasons for growing fruit trees in containers is portability. Thus, tropical and subtropical fruits can be grown in containers in areas where freezes might occur. The size and mobility of the containers allows the plants to be moved indoors during periods of predicated freezing temperatures.
Many fruits can be successfully grown in containers: Meyer lemons (my favorite), key limes, dwarf oranges, kumquats, avocados, dwarf bananas, papaya, guava, blackberry, dwarf grapefruit, blueberry and fig are among the best suited for growing indoors and outdoors in a small space. Most will produce some fruit if given proper care. The list is by no means complete, as most fruit trees could be grown in containers if the size of the container were not a problem. [The wider availability of many types of dwarf fruit trees also greatly increases the choices that container gardeners have.]
Containers may be plastic, metal, clay, ceramic, wood or any others normally available at nurseries and garden supply stores. Used whisky barrels cut in half are excellent or wooden boxes may be built to order. The container should have adequate holes at the bottom for drainage of excess water.
The drainage holes of the container may be covered with pieces of screen mesh to prevent the soil from washing out. A layer of gravel 1-2 in. (2-5 cm) should be placed in the bottom of the container to facilitate drainage.
Any commercial potting soil should be suitable for growing fruit trees. However, a mixture of 1 part sand, 1 part peat and 1 part bark, perlite or vermiculite will also serve quite well. The potting medium should be loose enough to permit adequate but not excessive drainage.
Examine the root system of the plant. If it is pot-bound or has experienced severe root crowding in its previous container, judiciously prune some of the larger roots and loosen others to facilitate root proliferation in the new container.
The container should be partially filled with soil (large containers should be filled at the site they are expected to remain). Place the plant in the partially filled container of soil to its correct planting depth which is the depth at which the plant was previously grown. The final soil surface should be 1-4 in. (2-10 cm) below the rim of the container, in direct proportion to container size, to allow for watering.
Complete filling the container and firm the soil around the plant. Water thoroughly but do not fertilize until new growth commences. An attractive mulch of bark, gravel or other material can be added to improve the appearance of the container.
Most fruit crops grow best in full sunlight, but some will do well in partial shade. However, plants grow in direct proportion to the amount of light received, if other conditions are optimum, so container grown fruit trees should be placed where they will receive maximum sunlight.
It is important that rapid changes in light exposure be avoided, i.e. plants growing in partial shade should not be suddenly exposed to complete, direct sunlight. Any plants that are to be grown indoors part of the year should be acclimated by gradually reducing the light to which they are exposed for 2-3 weeks before moving them inside and vice versa for plants being moved outdoors. Such acclimation is not necessary for plants that are to be moved indoors for few days during freezes.
Tropical and subtropical fruit trees cannot tolerate freezing temperatures for very long. Some will be killed back to the soil by mild freezes while only small twigs will be killed on others. Some root damage can occur because the root system is not as well insulated from cold in a container as it would be in the ground.
Cold hardiness depends on the plant, the care it receives and many other factors. Protection from severe cold is essential for all tropical and subtropical fruits growing in containers. Plants may be covered temporarily with blankets, paper or other material as protection against hard freezes, but such material should be removed each morning to allow the plants to take full advantage of incoming solar radiation. Plants moved indoors during cold spells should be placed away from drafts caused by doors and heating ducts.
Most container grown plants that do not thrive are usually in poor condition due to faulty watering practices, usually overwatering. Plants growing in containers should be watered only as needed. The frequency of watering depends upon such variables as type and size of plant, type and size of container, temperature, humidity, potting medium and other factors. For most plants, the upper surface of the soil should be allowed to become dry to the touch before watering. Then water thoroughly by slowly filling the container. Good drainage of excess water from the container is essential.
The soil in plastic, metal and ceramic containers generally stays wet longer than it does in wood or clay containers, which allow water to evaporate through the sides. Cool weather generally slows plant growth and this reduces the plant's need for moisture, so watering should be less frequent during cool weather.
Good nutrition is essential to the success of container-grown fruit trees, but excess fertilizer can result in overgrowth, poor fruit and possible dieback due to salt accumulation. Water-soluble fertilizers are widely available and should be used according to label directions. If mature foliage is deep green in color, adequate fertilizer is being used.
Many fertilizers can be used successfully, provided they are complete and balanced. The fertilizer should contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in balanced proportions and should include lesser amounts or traces of magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc and copper. The ingredients and quantities of each nutrient contained are listed on the fertilizer label.
Salt accumulation may sometimes be a problem and is often indicated by a white crust on the soil or container and may be due to excess fertilization and/or water containing considerable soluble salts. Should this occur, the container should be thoroughly leached by slowly running water through the container for several minutes. This will carry excess salts down through the soil and out the drainage holes.
With few exceptions, fruit trees will develop and maintain their natural shape with little or no training or pruning. They will occasionally become "leggy" when grown indoors or in poor light for too long. Leggy branches should be partially cut back to force branching and bushiness.
Frequently, the top will grow rather large and begin to exceed the capability of the root system. Consequently, some leaf shed and twig dieback will often occur. Such plants should be pruned back heavily to rejuvenate them. When plants area heavily pruned, less fertilizer and water will be necessary to compensate for the reduced plant size.
Most fruit crops will produce fruit in containers, given time, good care and adequate size and age. However, naturally large fruit trees will require larger containers to bear much fruit, as the amount of fruit produced is proportional to the plant's size, so large yields should not be expected. Many fruit plants need to be large in order to fruit at all, so their size can quickly become limiting in containers. Some fruit crops also require the presence of pollenizer cultivars and pollinating insects. Flowers can be pollinated by hand if needed.
5 Steps To Successful Indoor Fruit Trees
The keys to successful container growing are:
1. Select the right size pot with adequate drainage holes (we recommend a 16+ inch pot)
2. Use a soil mix that is lightweight and drains well.
3. Develop a watering schedule so the tree stays on the dry side of moist. Usually once a week is fine but it will depend on the soil you use and the dryness of your indoor environment. Err on the side of watering less as opposed to watering too much ...
4. Provide 6 - 8 hours of direct sunlight (or a grow light) per day.
5. Plant the tree so the root collar is above the soil line and the top of the root crown is barely below the soil. Do not cover the trunk with soil at all.
You'll find these indoor citrus trees are remarkably easy to grow and very resistant to pests or other problems. For more specific care tips, visit our main resource site at IndoorCitrusTrees.com ...

Common Fruit Tree Pests
How To Keep Your Fruit Trees Pest & Disease Free
Several important insect pests affect fruit grown in the home garden. Good quality, satisfactory fruit cannot be grown without good pest control and tree care. If you wish to grow your own fruit, you must be willing to learn the important pests and the methods to control them and then be willing to expend the time and effort to do the job right. This information will help you to understand the main pests that affect fruit trees and the methods to produce good quality fruit.
Before fruit trees are planted, home fruit growers should be aware of the time and work they entail and must be willing to care for them properly. The following cultural methods will reduce many pest problems without using pesticides.
Sanitation includes pruning and cleaning up twigs and branches and fruit that drops to the ground. Proper watering and fertilization helps maintain tree health and reduce stress. Good weed control beneath fruit trees (when trees may be outdoors during the summer) reduces habitat for cutworms, whiteflies, aphids and other pests.
Some of the most common pests are: moths, aphids, ants, leafhoppers, red spider mites, twig borers and fruit flies. Misting your trees with water daily can help prevent an infestation, plus your trees will thank you for the added humidity! If you see any insects, especially under leaves or stems, spray your tree with an organic soap spray. Always wash fruit off thoroughly before eating.
Not All Insects Are Bad!
These Creepy Crawlies Are The Good Guys!
Spiders, lady beetles, lacewings, and preying mantis are some of the beneficial insects you may see around your citrus tree when its outdoors in the summer. These bugs tend to eat the "bad guys" so they are good for your garden.
Interest in organic gardening and a growing demand for pesticide-free foods has exploded in recent years. Carefully washed vegetables can still even contain the chemicals that were sprayed on them. We all want food that is safe to eat. Instead of resorting to pest control sprays, give the "good guy" beneficial bugs a chance!

Growing Lime Trees Indoors
Five Tips To Growing An Indoor Lime Tree
Do you like to cook with limes or use them as a garnish for your favorite drinks? Now you can grow limes of your very own with a fragrant and handsome indoor lime tree. Here are five tips to help you grow a lime tree indoors ...
Indoor lime trees are one of many varieties of indoor fruit trees, which as the name implies are developed specifically to grow indoors. For the most part, these trees are very hardy and easy care. They adapt well to almost any environment and are ideal for beginning and expert gardeners alike.
We have successfully grown numerous varieties of indoor citrus trees for years, and you can too. Not only is there a real sense of satisfaction from growing your own fruit, but these trees add a touch of the tropics to any living space. Their fresh, clean scent acts as a natural air freshener for any room in your home.
Here are five quick tips to help you with growing lime trees indoors:
1. ) Buy From A Reputable Source
Most indoor citrus trees are not expensive, so don't over pay. Thirty dollars or so is about what you should expect to pay, except in the case of certain unique indoor fruit trees like kumquat, blood orange, or tangelo.
When it is shipped to you, your tree should be established, meaning about a year old and planted sturdily in a container.
2.) Choose The Proper Location
The biggest key to success is providing your tree adequate sunlight. We recommend a southern or western exposure. Afternoon sun is best but don't worry if your location only provides morning sun. As long as your tree gets on average six hours of sun per day it will be fine.
3.) Do Not Over Water
Before watering, the soil in the container should be on the dry side of moist. Depending on the humidity level in your home, this usually means weekly watering. These trees go through a rest period in the colder months, so water less frequently during winter. Wait until the soil is almost completely dry before watering. Because your home is probably drier in winter, a weekly watering schedule all year around is a good rule of thumb.
4.) Mist Your Tree
Mist your lime tree with a spray bottle using tepid water a couple of times per week. These are tropical plants so they enjoy humidity. A simple misting not only provides humidity but also wards off any pests that may cling to the plant, like fruit flies.
5.) Summer Is Moving Season
While it is not mandatory, your lime tree will enjoy spending a few months outdoors in the summer. A patio or balcony works well and it will have more direct exposure to the sun. Another benefit is your tree will be naturally pollinated by bees and other insects if it is outdoors.
Growing lime trees indoors is a rewarding, low maintenance gardening project that is ideal for any level of gardener. By following these simple care tips, you can expect several pounds of limes per year. Further, these trees add a wonderful scent to any living area in your home.
Key Lime Pie Recipe
This is a recipe for "real" Key Lime pie. Real Key lime pie is not green and it does not have a soft "pudding" texture. The pie gets its true pale yellow color from the egg yolks that predominate the ingredient list. And the texture is a "firm custard".
Be careful that you don't over-bake the pie or it will be "rubbery". For best results use fresh Key Limes, not bottled juice. The traditional preparation does not put any meringue on the top of the pie. This is a very simple recipe and only takes a few minutes to prepare and 12 minutes to bake.
Serves: 8
16 graham crackers, crushed
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cube (1/4 lb) margarine or butter
Mix the ingredients and press them into a 9" pie plate. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 10 - 12 minutes until lightly browned. Place on a rack to cool.
4 large or extra large egg yolks
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh key lime juice (approximately 12 Key limes)
2 teaspoons grated lime peel, green portion only
Whipping Cream For Garnish (Optional)
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Use an electric mixer and beat the egg yolks until they are thick and turn to a light yellow, don't over mix. Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk. Turn speed to low and mix in half of the lime juice. Once the juice is incorporated add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until blended (just a few seconds). Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake at 350F for 12 minutes to set the yolks and kill any salmonella in the egg
If you are using the whipping cream garnish, prepare the cream. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Dwarf Fig Trees
Enjoy Tasty Figs Grown Indoors!
Fig Trees are members of the Ficus family and thrive in warm climates, but there are special dwarf varieties that do quite well with a combination of indoor and outdoor settings ...
Dwarf Fig Trees are low-maintenance and grow quickly in containers. They love to be misted daily to provide the humid environment of their Mediterranean origin. It takes on average two years for the trees to produce fruit. The delicious fruit is sweet and plum-sized, ideal for eating, baking, or making preserves.
Dwarf Fig Trees do well in containers indoors, and then enjoy being outdoors during the summer months. Do not overwater the trees since they especially dislike sitting in run-off water which can cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop, and the fruit can split open. Watering once every 7 - 10 days should be sufficient.
Blooming will not occur if the light level is too low so make sure your dwarf fig tree gets plenty of light ideally 6 hours a day.
Indoor Citrus Tree Tip
Place the plant in a south or southwest window for best exposure. Where natural lighting isn't available, use artificial lighting.
Indoor Avocado Tree
And Pepper Plants ... Fun to Grow and Tasty!
A newcomer to the indoor tree scene is the Indoor Avocado Tree. This charmer can be used as a patio/deck plant in warmer climates, or a combination patio/indoor tree in colder areas...like where we live in northern Illinois (Zone 5).
The indoor avocado tree is especially appealing because of the health benefits of eating avocados. They are very rich in vitamins and nutrients. These particular avocados are black skinned, not the typical green skinned variety. We understand that the black skinned fruit is healthier for you and it tastes great. Try them in your favorite guacamole recipe...you won't be disappointed.
Indoor-friendly avocado trees produce fruit nearly year around, with slightly slower production in the winter months.
Another fun and colorful indoor tree is the indoor pepper plant (pictured above). This very prolific little specimen grows to about 2 feet high and reaps dozens of multi-color finger sized peppers. These little peppers taste similar to bell peppers...definitely not hot or burning. Easy to grow and care for just give them plenty of sun and water when the soil becomes dry to the touch. This indoor pepper plant is a brand new variety that's becoming extremely popular due to its abundant yield and good looks! Use in cooking...we love them in a stir fry or in tacos or fajitas.

Indoor Citrus Tree Tip
Citrus trees are heavy feeders. You should nourish your tree four to six times a year with a chelated mix of manganese, iron and zinc (found in most multipurpose fertilizers)
Pruning Tips For Indoor Fruit Trees
As with most trees and shrubs, pruning is important for nice shape, good health, and overall productivity of dwarf citrus trees. Regular maintenance pruning to remove dead or diseased wood, or wood that is growing awkwardly, is also very important.
But unlike pruning ornamental trees and shrubs, properly pruning dwarf citrus trees makes a difference between large, annual crops of excellent fruit, or intermittent crops of variable quality.
Because Dwarf Citrus trees are encouraged to bear lots of large fruits, pruning the trees will help develop a strong branch system capable of withstanding the annual load of ripe fruit.
Prune middle branches on dwarf citrus trees to allow ample sunlight to reach into the middle of the tree, otherwise fruits will not ripen properly and will lack good color. Pruning also allows for good air circulation through the crown, and that prevents disease and discourages pests from making a home in your tree.
A dwarf citrus tree allowed to bear all the fruit it sets in the spring will produce lots of poor quality fruit, or it will produce well only every other year. For consistently good crops you MUST thin clusters of young fruit to a single fruit. Do this when the fruit is still small (marble to golf-ball size - depending on variety). Each fruit should be six inches or more from its neighbor. Such thorough fruit thinning is time consuming, but you will appreciate the effort and be rewarded with a better quality crop.
Watering Tips For Dwarf Citrus Trees
Citrus doesn't like soggy wet feet. Light, well-drained soil is the best. How often to water varies with soil porosity, size of tree, and temperature conditions.
* A wilted tree means too little water
* A tree with yellow leaves or folded leaves can indicate too much water ( or needs fertilizer )
If the tree is outdoors for the warm months, check it once or twice a week and water when the soil is dry.
When indoors, water your tree once a week - approx. 1/4 gallon of water.
Dwarf Orange Trees
How To Grow Oranges Indoors With A Dwarf Orange Tree
Did you know you can grow oranges indoors? Dwarf orange trees are smaller varieties of traditional citrus trees that produce an amazing amount of fruit for their size. Let's take a closer look at dwarf orange trees, including the best ways to care for them ...
Dwarf orange trees are one of several varieties of indoor fruit trees that are specifically designed to grow in containers indoors. Some of the other popular types are Meyer lemon, lime, pomegranate, tangerine, and even pineapple! Within the orange family, several types are available, like navel, blood oranges, and traditional juice oranges.
More About Dwarf Orange Trees
First of all, you can find these trees at specialty online gardening retailers. Be sure to buy from a trusted, recommended source because you want to get a tree that is healthy and established. Your tree will be shipped to you in a container that should be suitable for several years.
With proper care, your tree should bear fruit within a year. We'll talk about care tips in a moment, but these trees are very hardy. Even beginning gardeners have great success with indoor citrus trees, prompting them to get hooked on gardening as a hobby.
At full maturity, a dwarf orange tree will reach about four feet in height. The oranges themselves will be similar to what you find in a grocery store in terms of size. Generally, they will be sweeter and juicier due to the smaller size of the tree, because the full energy of the growth system is devoted to producing fruit.
Even when the tree is not bearing fruit, it will make a wonderful addition to any room in your home. They have a pleasant, almost tropical scent. The leaves are a glossy green and white flowers will bloom as well. Our dwarf orange tree serves as a natural air freshener, and yours will too!
Care Tips
As mentioned, these trees are very hardy and easy to care for, but there are a few tips you'll need to know. First, place the container in an area that gets plenty of sunlight. This is key. To thrive, it will need about six hours of sun per day. A western or southern exposure works best, but any sunny area will do.
Next, water the tree when the soil is almost completely dry. You will find that in most cases you will need to water once per week. In the interim, mist it with tepid water from a spray bottle. Indoor citrus trees like humidity, and misting them not only provides more humidity for them, but it prevents nuisance pests, like fruit flies.
Finally, if possible, place your tree outdoors on a patio or balcony during the warm summer months and into the early fall. Bring it inside again when temperatures start to drop near 40 degrees at night. While it is not a requirement to place your tree outside, we find it helps growth and fruit production. Further, the tree will become naturally pollinated by bees and other insects.
With just a little care, you too can grow oranges indoors with your very own dwarf orange tree. This variety is one of many indoor citrus trees available from online specialty retailers.
Be sure to follow the simple care tips, like providing adequate sunlight, misting, and weekly watering. Your tree should last for years to come!
Calamondin Orange Jelly
Wonderful on warm croissants or biscuits!
Calamondin Jelly
1 cup ground calmondin orange and juice
3 cups water, or 2 cups water and 1 cup pineapple juice
4 cups sugar
Boil ground calamondin, juice and liquid for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it turns into jelly, about 20 minutes. Delicious!
Repotting Your Indoor Citrus Tree
Step by Step
1.) Put fresh potting soil in the bottom of a new, larger container. Fill the container only about one-eight full at this time.
2.) Tip the plant on its side. Lightly tap the root system out of its current pot.
3.) Set the root system in place in the new container. Center the rootball and trunk in the pot. The top of the rootball should be about half an inch below the rim of the new pot. If needed, remove your tree and add more soil mix until it sits at the proper height.
4.) Now add more fresh potting mix to fill around the sides and rootball.
5.) Pack down the mix so your plant is secure and not wobbly.
6.) Water the plant thoroughly.
It's best to increase pot size incrementally at each repotting. Choose a container that is 2 to 4 inches bigger than the one the indoor citrus tree is currently growing in.
Thanks For Stopping By! - Have You Tried Growing Fruit Indoors? Do You Want To Now?
I live in karachi Pakistan.I have a lemon plant in cotainer of 20inches wide.Lot many fruits are coming but the juice is very less.Fruit is round with thin skin.I wants its name because local nursury plant salers dont know its name.Please suggest the name and give me some tips for increasing fruit juice.
I've started several lemon trees last year from seeds it was very easy to do. I just love lemons!
I had absolutely no idea that you could grow citrus trees indoors. Although I have no business trying that since I have 10 acres to plant on, but it is nice to think about.
Great post! It's being featured in a blog about the most popular environmentally pins! You can read it here: http://blog.cariloha.com/top-54-environmentally-fr...
Good work here, I love it and been enlightened. Hope some of these are not environment dependent.
Makes me want to clear out everything else to make room for a few or more of these varieties, lol. Would love to have lovely pure, citrus aromas throughout the house. Great hub. Thanks!
Really appreciate you sharing this post.Thanks Again. Really Great. eeccgdfddbdd
Citrus trees are FULL SUN. If you try to grow them indoors the leaves will fall off and the tree will die. That is why they grow in warm regions. It's a fact. Ask an expert gardener.
I did not know you could grow olives indoors. Thanks for a great hub. I found it through a google search while researching tropical fruit. :)
Incredible! This is a fabulous lens. There's so much information that I'm going to have to come and read it again!. Loved the ideas for taking good care of those dwarf citrus trees. I've always wanted them but thought it might get too cold in my home in the winter. Now, with your advice and expertise, I just may be able to have them, AND have them live! :0)
Wow, thank you for all of the info! I had an indoor Meyer lemon tree but it died from a mealyworm infestation (didn't know that is what it was at the time as it looked like a fungus). Anyway, I'm going to give it a try again along with that olive tree once I get some pots. Hopefully this time, following your helpful advice, I can keep them both alive for many years to come and then create some of your yummy looking recipes. Thank you!
Very nice work! Thank you for sharing this :)
This is very informative. We do have a lemon and lime tree.
I have 5 lemon trees growing from seed. They are small, 6 inches high. Have a mango started. Wish to find an olive pit... I think growing fruit trees is fun and rewarding.
Are calamondin what I would know as Filipino limes, they look like tangerines but taste like limes. Very nice lens
Wow this is a fantastic lens so much information and great recipes as well -Thanks
I just recently got 2 indoor lime trees. I'm excited to see how they do...and I stumbled on your lens at the right time. Thanks for the great information!!!!
Wow what a great lens, I did not know that you could grow these indoors.
I absolutely love this lens and all your tips. I've been having problems with my indoor lemon tree so I stopped by. Now I think I will try repotting it and giving it more humidity. Also, love the recipes you've included here. This is an awesome, well done lens!
I never knew this was possible! Great lens!
I really want an indoor citrus tree :P

A great lens! I used to have a lemon plant that I grew indoors. It was lovely and didn't really take up that much space at all!
Very nice lens! I use to have an indoor lemon tree, but when we moved they made us leave it in California, because we did not have inspection papers.
Your lens has been featured on our "The Green Thumb: A Place For Gardeners To Gather" Facebook page.
I haven't, but I'm growing a Japanese Flaming Maple, and A Japanese blossoming Cherry for a water feature I recently constructed, and I love them. Thank you for the tips and an excellent lens. I learned a lot that will help me.

Very nice lens. thank you very much for this information
This is quit an exhaustive lens...congratulations. Unfortunately, the link for indoor olive trees doesn't work. I fell in love with olive trees while in Italy last year and wanted so badly to bring one home (Can't! The Feds won't let you.) So I was very interested to see what you had to say about indoor olive trees. Maybe, I'll have to experiment a little on my own.
I'm putting your lens up on the Weekend Gardeners page on Facebook, check it out and like the page too! You have given us some really good information here....thank you!https://www.facebook.com/GrammieKnowsWeekendGarden...
Wow, I am really very impressed with this lens! So informative and with great photos. I actually never knew mini citrus trees existed, and now I'm sitting here thinking about getting one. Or two. Thank you for sharing!
Wow what a wonderful lens. I have book marked it for later. I love the mini citrus fruits. So much information here. I have pinned you too.

Awesome lens! My parents have had a lot of success with citrus plants indoors, something I hope to replicate this year!
Thanks! I had a lemon tree in a pot and I think I watered it too much... it lost all its leaves and then died, the poor thing :(
Great lens!
Best information that I will act on.
very good lens. thank you for the info
Lovely lens. I have grown orange and lemon plants from the seeds of a fruit (not a kit), and though they never bloomed, the leaves are fragrant and taste like citrus.
Thank you, I have always been curious about keeping real, fruit producing trees indoors.
Very informative lens! Thanks so much!
Nice lens! I'd love an indoor lemon tree and also indoor strawberries.
Just planning what to do - do we buy some citrus plants for indoor..great lens.
This is great, I just wonder if is non GMO?
Great Lens. Now I can continue with idea of having indoor Citrus Trees.
These could make for a very interesting indoor space.

MAI funds have played an integral role in expanding HIV service delivery in African-American communities, enabling providers already serving hard-to-reach African-American PLWHA an opportunity to address issues around infrastructure and HIV/AIDS stigma that have prevented them from addressing HIV disease. Evanson explains, "MAI funds help Ryan White providers already doing good work to provide a greater level of care and treatment than they otherwise would be able to, particularly for African-Americans and other minority groups."
In addition to the MAI, Part F also includes the Special Projects of National Significance, which supports the development and testing of innovative and cutting-edge models of HIV care that otherwise would not be funded or evaluated. Numerous initiatives have addressed how to engage various vulnerable subpopulations of African-Americans into HIV care, including Black gay youth (PDF – 172 KB); PLWHA in jail settings; adolescents; women of color; and Caribbean PLWHA. The best practices generated from these projects are disseminated to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program providers nationwide to facilitate their replication, which has helped mitigate HIV/AIDS and improve health outcomes within African-American communities.
Providers engaging Black PLWHA also have access to technical assistance through Part F's AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs), which provide resources geared to building capacity to deliver comprehensive, culturally and linguistically competent care to patients. Two AETCs in particular address the needs of providers delivering HIV treatment and care services in Black communities with high rates of HIV/AIDS. These are the National Multicultural Center, which addresses the training needs of providers and clinicians delivering care to ethnic and racial minorities, and the AETC National Center for the Expansion of HIV Care in Minority Communities: Building Capacity in Community Health Centers, which enhances the capacity of non-Ryan White-funded CHCs to provide primary medical care and treatment to racial and ethnic minorities living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Many of these resources include interactive trainings and guidance, factsheets, training manuals, and presentations, including BE SAFE: A Cultural Competency Model for African Americans; The Impact of Stigma on HIV Care Access in the African American Community; and Developing a Peer-Based Early Intervention Services Program. Like SPNS, they also address the unique needs of different African-American groups, such as Black PLWHA not in care and women over 50.50,51,52
The Future of the Ryan White Response to HIV in Black Communities
In the 30 years since the HIV/AIDS epidemic began, there have been many lessons learned. Activists, PLWHA, families, health care workers, and others have demonstrated the power of the community-based response in creating innovative and powerful continuums of care that successfully engage HIV-positive African-Americans.
With support from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, providers have extended the lives of countless African-American PLWHA, preventing new infections and ultimately reducing HIV prevalence and mortality. Access to lifesaving drugs has improved the health outcomes of Black communities overall, including that of HIV-positive African-American mothers, who no longer have to worry about transmitting the virus to their unborn children. This tightly woven network of care will be further enhanced with the full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub.L. 111–148) in 2014, which will ensure greater access to health care among African-Americans living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. It will also bolster the reach of the providers who serve them.
Perhaps most essential to the success of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in serving Black PLWHA is the continued high quality of care delivered by providers and renewed emphasis on outreach and linkage to care and retention efforts. These have only improved since the rollout of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), begun in 2010. Providers will benefit from the collaboration at the Federal, State, and local levels strengthened by the launch of the NHAS but built upon the groundwork already set forth by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. Ultimately, it will result in more integrated approaches to supporting providers delivering care to vulnerable communities, and will benefit medical personnel delivering services to Black PLWHA. Evanson, who represents HRSA in its interagency activities to advance the NHAS, says, "The Strategy has contributed to a greater sense of vision and purpose that we have welcomed. It adds an additional mantle of responsibility within the work of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program."
Within the African-American community itself, there is a sense that stigma may one day be a thing of the past. Wilson says, "Several Black churches are creating AIDS ministries, and organizations, like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Urban League, have gotten AIDS coordinators." He says that the community realized it was up to them to solve the problem of AIDS—to be a voice in the process and in supporting the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. "Nobody can come in and fix that for us."

This time I'm going to share some vintage book pages that were sent to me by artist Randi Case. She was generous enough to share three beautiful and fragile (likely hand-blocked) pages from an old book. These are so delicate and lovely. I think they should be framed. Of course I have scanned them so I can share them with you.
I've printed these in toner copies (copy-shop) and on tracing paper at home. We'll use them in my Art & Soul class, "Mind Your Own Beeswax", coming up soon here in Portland.
Yesterday I went to Hippo Hardware to find more old doodads and thingamabobs to use in my upcoming classes. I found a pretty good haul, though I sneezed a lot from the dust in the old building full of valuable junk. Sometimes you just gotta get dirty.

Anyone got any of these tx85 brushed controllers please. Needed quick.
Normaly I would say "Ellis @ Ranglebox". But he's out of stock.
Other option is the Original Botbitz (and supplier of Ranglebox)
Of course, you can buy the Original.
just get a brushless and change the code. Its 10 mins including taking the lid off and on
Happy to program one for you if you source
How much are you looking for spur 2...you have 2 in there?
There are 2 for sure along with DeWuts etc
Alex is selling it, not sure what price he is asking for
Honestly, I'd either wait for someone to give you a nudge, like what Gary a.k.a typhoon_driver did for me. I think he said that he was doing a few of them, and he sold two to me. So I'd ask him to see if he still has a couple left in stock.
Need them sharpish for r2d2
Got some sorted....thanks mario another time perhaps
Give me a shout if you need any programmed in the future. Easy enough to do and i've still got the programming tool somewhere.

Celebrate Your Grandparents
Uncover Your History – Take a look at those closest to you.
Have you ever stopped to think about your grandparent's history, or your great-aunt's and uncle's? What about your father's or mother's story? These details of your history often go untold. And we need to look to those closest to us. Those are the people who can tell us everything that we want to know about our family history, our heritage, our culture and our traditions.
An oral history is the collection of living people's testimony about their own experiences. In just a few minutes, a couple conversations or over an afternoon cup of coffee, you can discover things about your history you would have never known if you didn't take the time to ask the questions.
Tips for Collecting an Oral History
Pick a topic. Do you want to focus your discussion on one topic, one tradition or one period of time? Think of some questions that you can ask about your topic that might strike up a conversation or get details flowing from the person you are interviewing. Having questions prepared in advance helps to prevent lulls in the conversation. Be sure to ask open-ended questions, or questions that encourage elaboration, not just a simple "yes" or "no."
Know interview etiquette.
Do not interrupt your subject and don't be afraid of silence. Give the person time to think and respond to your questions. Be an active participant of the conversation, but don't dominate your subject. Be sensitive to the needs of your interviewee.
Pick a location.
The interview should take place in a comfortable environment. Perhaps the person that you are talking to would feel most comfortable at home, or maybe meet for lunch or coffee.
Decide what equipment you will need.
Most interviews are recorded via tape recorder and/or note-taking. Recording the interview is often preferred and allows you to revisit the conversation to listen for tone changes, pauses and other tell-tale signs of emotion from the discussion.
Thank the interviewee.
After you are finished with the interview, be sure to thank the person you are interviewing. Consider sending a hand-written "thank you" and a copy of the finished product.
Sample Interviews Questions
- What is your name?
- Where and when were you born?
- Where did you grow up?
- Where have you lived?
- What jobs have you had?
- What do you know about your family name and family history?
- Are there any naming traditions in your family?
- Do you know how your family first came to the United States?
- What did they do for a living after they arrived in the United States?
- If the interviewee is the first generation to come to the United States, you may ask:
- Why did you decide to come to the United States?
- What possessions did you bring with you?
- What were the differences you noticed between your home country and the United States? What was your biggest culture shock?
- What languages do you speak?
- How did your relatives meet and marry? What other stories do you know about your grandparents? Parents? Aunts and Uncles?
- What are some of your childhood memories?
- What were your favorite toys?
- What were your favorite games?
- What were your favorite songs?
- What traditions did you have as a child? What traditions did you keep as you grew up?
- Are there special recipes that have been passed down through the generations of your family?
- How were the holidays celebrated in your family? What were the most important holidays?
- Are there any family heirlooms passed down through the generations? What are they and what is their history?
- How have any historical events effected your family and community? (WWII, Civil Rights Movement, etc.)
- Tell me about your immediate family members (spouse, children, nieces, nephews, etc.) What are they like and what are you most proud of about them?

Product Description
For American quilt artist Tula Pink, the BERNINA 770 QE is something very special: "Next to my passion for my designs, I'm equally passionate about BERNINA. The BERNINA 770 QE gives me the space I need for quilting, plus the Stitch Regulator can't be beat for even stitches." Tula Pink plays with images the way a poet plays with words, turning innocuous traditional designs into mischievous little critters. Tula's love affair with textiles began early and an obsession with sewing soon followed. Tula began quilting in an effort to use up her ever-growing stash of fabric so that she could justify buying more. Today, 16 years later, she is a renowned designer and quilter. Tula Pink has designed a quilt from her "Moonshine" fabric collection exclusively for BERNINA.

The heart of the BERNINA 7 Series features a novel,centrally placed driver, which allows the BERNINA Hook to run fast yet quietly. The BERNINA Hook sews high-precision stitches up to 9 mm in width with speeds up to 1,000 stitches per minute. The bobbin holds up to 70% more thread than standard bobbins allowing you to sew longer without interruption.
The BERNINA 7 Series includes a meticulously engineered extended freearm with 10 inches of space to the right of the needle. The BERNINA 770 QE not only provides plenty of space for large, beautiful sewing and quilting projects - with its stitch width of 9 mm, it is also ideally suited for sewing decorative stitches. The extra-large embroidery module (optional with the BERNINA 770 QE) lets you stitch out maxi-sized motifs. And should your ambitions grow, the BERNINA 770 QE can be updated with a wealth of accessories.
The BERNINA Adaptive Thread Tension, a BERNINA innovation, provides ideal thread tension for each and every stitch type, in any variation. The tension is electronically adjusted to the selected stitch width, length, speed, and needle position on each penetration of the needle into the fabric. The result is the finest stitching without pressing a button.
The BERNINA 770 QE is equipped with the BSR function. The BSR foot assists you with free-motion sewing and quilting with a straight or zigzag stitch, ensuring stitches of the exact same length even at variable sewing speeds. It comes standard with the machine.
The BERNINA 770 QE also includes the Patchwork foot 97D with movable guide rail. For patchworking, it provides extra reliability for when joining together the patchwork pieces. When used in conjunction with the straight stitch needle place, it enables you to achieve a perfect stitch result.
The innovative BERNINA Dual Feed tames hard-to-manage fabrics providing superb fabric feed and optimum visibility while sewing. Easy to engage when needed, the BERNINA Dual Feed tucks completely out of the way when it's not.
The BERNINA 770 QE accomplishes many tasks all by itself. The presser foot lowers automatically at the beginning of a seam. Threading is semi-automatic, and the thread is cut automatically when you reach the end of a seam, or when you wish to change colors while embroidering. Moreover, a practical extension table, which yet again significantly increases your work area, is included in the standard package.

Diabetes is really a type of ailment that progressively affects your whole system and nearly every organ of the body much like your renal system, eyes, heart etc. Despite the fact that you will find many medications that may take control of your blood sugar level, it is important to realize that meals are really your very best medicine. Actually, one of the main reasons for the introduction of Diabetes Type 2 together with a number of other chronic and degenerative illnesses is poor diet.
There is no stage of Type 2 Diabetes that cannot be controlled by making some smart dietary changes. To prevent and control diabetes, there are some Superfoods that can stabilize or even lower your blood sugar level when eaten on regular basis in appropriate portions. These Superfoods have a bigger impact on your blood sugar than others. Following are top 10 Superfoods to Curb Diabetes:
1, Whole Grains
Whole grain food products contain a wide variety of nutrients including magnesium, chromium, omega 3 fatty acids and folate. Whole grains can help to maintain blood sugar level and can help reduce blood pressure and LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Whole grains also contain powerful plant chemicals, lignans and flavonoids, which may play a role in preventing heart disease. Thus, those who are diabetic must switch from rice to brown rice and from refined flour to whole wheat flour to enjoy many health benefits.
2, Fish
Fishes that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids must also be consumed on regular basis by those who are diabetic. At the same time fishes are a good source of protein, and a great substitute for higher-fat meats. Aim to eat fish at least twice a week. Cold water fatty fishes like salmon, sardines, halibut, herring, mackerel, and tuna are good for those who are diabetic. You must eat baked or grilled fish and try to avoid breaded and deep fat fried variety. Those who do not eat fish must take fish oil supplements after consulting a doctor.
3, Dark Green Leafy Vegetables
Dark green leafy vegetables are very low in calories and carbohydrates and contain a good amount of vitamin C, insoluble fiber, magnesium and lots of calcium. All these nutrients are absolutely essential for diabetics as they have virtually no impact on your blood sugar level. Studies show that leafy veggies lower the risk of type-2 diabetes. Those who are diabetic must have two servings of dark green vegetables such as spinach, kale, chard, collard greens, mustard greens and other leafy greens daily in their diet plan.
4, Beans
Beans are good source of dietary fiber and are also rich in protein, magnesium and potassium. All these minerals are very important for those who have diabetes and so when planning a diet plan for diabetes it is essential to include them. Beans can slow the digestion process and help to maintain blood sugar level after eating a meal. When it comes to beans you can choose kidney, pinto, navy, white, navy, lima, pinto, garbanzo, soy or black beans depending upon which one you like to eat. You can add beans to soup or salad.
5, Berries
Berries of all kind are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and fiber that can hugely control your blood sugar level and help protect against cancer and heart diseases. You can choose different types of berries like strawberries, cranberries, black berries and so on. In fact berries make a smart substitute when you feel the urge to eat something sweet. You can add fresh berries in cereals and salads, and keep use the dried versions as a healthy snack. You can also use berries to make low sugar desserts for diabetics.
6, Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potato is a kind of starchy vegetable that contains the antioxidant beta-carotene along with vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium and fiber. All these components help lower blood sugar. Those who are diabetic must use sweet potatoes in place of regular potatoes for a lower GI alternative. Whether you like grilled or baked sweet potatoes try to cook then with the skin on, since most of the nutrients are next to it. You can also eat sweet potatoes steamed, broiled or stewed, as a side dish, in salads, soups, casseroles or other dishes.
7, Cinnamon
There are several components in cinnamon that promotes glucose metabolism and reduces cholesterol. It has been found that in people with diabetes; just half teaspoon of cinnamon powder in a day can significantly decrease fasting blood glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity. There are many ways to add cinnamon in your diet. You can sprinkle some in your coffee, stir it into your morning oatmeal, or add it to chicken or fish dishes. Else you can soak a medium sized cinnamon stick in hot water to make a refreshing cup of cinnamon tea.
8, Yogurt
Yogurt is rich in protein, Vitamin D and calcium. Several studies have shown that people who eat plenty of calcium-rich foods can easily lose weight and are also less likely to become insulin resistant. Yogurt can also help build strong bones and teeth. Use nonfat plain yogurt and eat as it is or else add it to bowl of fresh fruit. Along with low fat yogurt you can also include low fat milk in your diet plan to control your blood sugar level.
9, Olive Oil
Olive oil is loaded with antioxidants and monounsaturated fats that reduce the risk of heart disease and help keep blood sugar steady by reducing insulin resistance. Olive oil also helps in losing weight which is very essential for those who are diabetics. When it comes to olive oil you must choose the extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) which is minimally processed and contains more than 30 antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant compounds. You can add olive oil on salads and use it to sauté meat and veggies.
10, Nuts
Nuts contain healthy fats, vitamins, fiber and lots of minerals such as magnesium and vitamin E.9 that can stabilize blood sugar level. Nuts help reduce insulin resistance and help fight heart disease. Those who are diabetic, or those who want to avoid Type 2 diabetes, must eat nuts on regular basis. Nuts of all sorts – walnuts, pecans, almonds, pea nuts and so on are great for controlling blood sugar. The best way to eat nuts is after they have been soaked overnight to release their enzyme inhibitors. Take a hand full of nuts and place them in a bowl of water, leave them to sit over night and in the morning discard the water and then eat the nuts.
To summarize, if you are a diabetic then it's time to think carefully, plan well and take control of your high blood sugar by getting these Superfoods to curb diabetes. Together with these meals you have to get some exercise regularly and then try to maintain normal bodyweight to manage your blood sugar level.

The Lloydminster and District United Way held their annual Distribution Night last week, as they proudly handed out $60,000 to member agencies throughout the Border City. Jessica Dempsey/Meridian Booster
The Lloydminster and District United Way held their annual Distribution Night.
The Wednesday event was held injunction with Chamber Connect, where the United Way distributed funds to multiple member agencies.
"We are happy to help out our member agencies and every year we get together and give out cheques based on the money we raised from the previous year—it's always a good night," said Brian Hanterman, president and campaign chair at the Lloydminster and District United Way.
This year the United Way allocated $60,000 to their member agencies.
"It's significantly down from last year," said Hanterman.
"The economy, obviously, and the wildfires didn't help either, which made things really tough for us this year."
With the year being a rough one for the United Way it left them wondering if they would be able to sustain all they are doing.
"Unfortunately this year … we couldn't give as much as we would like to, obviously, we didn't meet everybody's needs, but we didn't meet the previous year's goals," he explained.
Last year they were able to give more than $100,000.
"It's a significant drop, and when summer came to an end last year we were on the verge of closing the doors," he said.
"We had nothing come in because of the wildfires and donor fatigue," said Hanterman.
However, he added, they were happy they could push past it and raise funds to help no matter what.
"We're pretty happy that we could get this much raised for our groups, and hopefully this year coming up will be even better, significantly," he said.
Throughout the year the United Way held different events to help raise the money, with donors and sponsors that come through every year.
They are a non-profit organization, which raises funds to assist 14 local agencies that deliver programs and services in the area.
One of the agencies who received funds were the Lloydminster Rescue Squad.
"We rely on this kind of funding every year, and it goes to a certain project we have," said Norm Namur, Rescue chief.
"We are excited to be here tonight and we appreciate the time and the effort all the volunteers from the United Way put in because we realize that's a pile of time.
Every year, the rescue squad tries to find a different program for money to go towards, this year it's for someone to answer the radio at night and on weekends.
"It's so we can give them a little bit of cash to answer because it's a lot of a commitment," Namur explained.
"They can't leave the city, they can't go golfing, they can't go to the pool and in certain areas, they are restricted because of the radio range we have," he said.
"It just means they are confined to the city and we appreciate them being on the radio and on call for us."
Having a night like this was vital for Hanterman, as it also helps to raise awareness of what the United Way does.
"It's important for us to get out in the community for people who don't know what the United Way supports, or what we stand for," said Hanterman.
"It's just a good night to celebrate being a good citizen, helping others and all around making the city better."
Overall the best part of the night for Hanterman was being able to help out.
"Supporting the community and the people that need it," he said.
"If we aren't doing it and those people fall by the wayside then everyone suffers in the big picture.
They will be holding their first annual Toga Texas Scramble Golf Tournament on June 10 at Rolling Greens Golf Course, as they start off their new year of fundraising.

Hello all, On August 10-11, the AMSAT Senior leadership will be holding a critical "strategy" meeting with the theme of "Can We? Should We?" launch a HEO satellite. As a board candidate, I feel it's essential that "strategic" decisions must consider the membership's opinions and desires. The last membership survey taken was in 2004 by Gunther Meisse, W8GSM. So, to get the current thinking of the membership, I invite you take the simple, anonymous, no cost (probably unscientific) survey that I have prepared to determine your operating preferences at . . . . . http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/55247/amsat-operating-preferences I will be using this simple, easy e-survey format to get membership opinion on future topics. This is my first go at it, so I hope that I selected the right buttons to make it work. Let me know if you run into any issues at . . . email@example.com I'll let the survey run for about a week and then I'll share the results here on the -bb with a copy of the results to the senior leadership. Regards...Bill - N6GHz _______________________________________________ Sent via email@example.com. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Samsung: Psst, EU regulator. About that $17.3bn fine... let's talk
Koreans wriggling off hook over Apple injunctions
Samsung is in discussions with the EU about settling charges of anti-competitive behaviour against Apple, in order to slip the potential $17.3bn fine it faces if found guilty.
The news comes from Reuters, which has been chatting to a couple of "people familiar with the matter" and discovered Samsung has opened negotiations rather than fighting the charges head-on.
There would be no admission of guilt, and no possibility of a billion-dollar fine, but it would end one battle in the ongoing war between Samsung and Apple.
The EU has been investigating Samsung's use of injunctions to prevent the sale of certain Apple kit which - according to Samsung - infringes its patents. But those patents are subject to Fair, Reasonable And Non-Discriminatory (FRAND) licensing, so Samsung isn't permitted to deny Apple a licence - or charge Cupertino any more than anyone else.
FRAND is, however, quite woolly when it comes to the details. Exact pricing is confidential and often bundled with other services so it's hard for a company like Apple to prove discriminatory pricing but Samsung obviously feels the EU is close to achieving that.
If Samsung has breached EU rules then it could be in line for a whopping fine: up to $17.3bn according to Reuters. It would probably be much less than that, but still worth avoiding if possible and Samsung will have to offer serious concessions to slip away.
On the other side of the pond, Apple is still fighting to keep its older iPhones and iPads on the shelves following a ban on their import from the International Trade Commission (the US body which controls import and export of goods).
That ban kicks in next week, unless Apple can convince the ITC to change its mind, or the President to intervene on public interest grounds. Apple's latest filing (examined by 21st Century mudlark Florian Mueller, available on Scribd) tries various arguments to achieve that.
Samsung seems to be getting better at its legal battles. It's certainly getting plenty of practice, but there's still a very long way to go before we'll see any sign of peaceful resolution.

I don't know what it is about balloons but I love them. Love them.
I was in charge of the decorations for a church women's group party we had tonight & I bought 50+ balloons for the occasion & let me say, transporting them was hilarious:
I'm considering just keeping balloons floating around the house just to make my day a little more festive & fun.
When someone comes over & says, "Oh are you having a party?" I'll be like, "Naw, those are just my Tuesday balloons."
