Hi,all my friends!In a previous discussion I have told you that I started a small orchard more than 4 years ago,and now most of the arange trees are in blossom!
The small orchard is nearly 3 acres,I asked a grab to do a deep dig for loosing the soil.Then my wife and I leveled the soil and planted about 300 young orange trees.My wife has to do sewing and care about her cloth booth,so I have to do most of the work to care about the orchard,weeding,fertilizing,spraying insecticide and so on.
After 4 years labouring,thr trees have grown up,and now most of them are blossoming,I can gain the first harvest this autumn!
This morning when I got up,I could smell the perfume of my orange trees.Can you smell it?

I think it is great that you are able to see the fruits of your labor!!! I hope that you get lots of oranges this year! I can imagine the smell. I hope you have many good years ahead of you with this orchard!!!

I'm very happy that the perfume flew overseas to your side and I hope the fruits will enter your home.
Really I hear the fruit trees of this kind bear lots of fruits about 10 years at least.Take care!

I'll try again (for the 3rd time) to post my comment. There was a problem with my password, but all seems to be OK now.
In my mind, I can see the beauty of the blossoms and smell their fragrance. I wish you a boundful harvest.

Yes, I smell them. And I still envy you. One of these days I'll be able to grow things again. I still remember the lilac tree we had in the back yard. I didn't know my grandmother had grown one. Years later when I moved into the house, one spring day I went into the backyard and smelled a nice fragrance. That's when I discovered that I had a lilac tree. I soon learned how to trim it. But before no time, I had to leave and look for a job and eventually someone cut down the tree.

One day when I move back onto my property and build a house, then I plan on growing another lilac tree.

WOW, this would be a dream for me. I would love to have my own acres and plant so many beautiful blossoming and fruitful trees. Gosh you are going to have to post a picture one day, I would absolutely love to imagine the beautiful scent of your orange trees. Congrats to you.

It certainly appears that way, but actually I type 92 words a minute and can get through quite a bit in a span of a few hours, I also work in online IT networking so I am always online multitasking.
Traveling all over the world my friend would be a blessing and dream come true. Keep up the great work with your acres.

I think no one can catch up you in typing.I am so jealous of that.
I can travel all over the world maybe in my dream,in fact so far I haven't dreamed of that,haha...

That's so romantic! I can't imagine waking up each morning to be surrounded by the scent of fresh oranges together with the sight of full orange blossom right in front of my eyes? It's a beautiful scene, just playing it in my mind. U are so lucky, and so does your wife. Your efforts for the past 4 years had finally paid off. So Good.

Wow, wonderful how i wish i could just go out the house and come to your house and see it and smell it as well, and i'm sure if you are just in the neighborhood, i will always come to your house. My husband and i always wanted to plant fruit trees someday at our own house, when we have one.

I seem to smell the fragrance that your orange flowers give out and see the scene where you labour assiduously.The area of your orchard is about 3 acres,that is to say,18.2 mu.I wonder if you have hired hands.

I bet this is exciting for you. I cannot imagine take care 1/4 acre of oranges, but 3 holy cow. Do you plan on selling them at a farmer's market. People would probably love your fresh oranges. Best Wishes!

I am sure I'm very excited after so many years' hard working.
The fruits will be carried somewhere out of Guangxi to the rest provinces pf China or to the countries in Southeast Asia.It's hard to sell them in the local market.
