February 16, 2008 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: California Citrus State Historic Park, Riverside, Riverside County, California California Citrus State Historic Park is located at 21879 Jackson Street in Riverside, Riverside County, California   Vi camperede i California Citrus State Historic Park i dag, en gammel, men aktiv, citrusplantage, som samtidig er museum for citrus industrien, ikke bare i Californien, men verden over. We day camped in California Citrus Historic Park today, an old, but working, citrus plantation, which is also a museum for the citrus industry, not only in California, but worldwide.         De første citrustræer i Californien var fra Middelhavsområdet, og blev plantet af missionærerne i Mission San Gabriels haver omkring 1803. I 1873 bragte Mrs. Eliza Tibbetts to Washington Navel appelsintræer til Riverside fra Brasilien, og denne appelsin sort blev hurtigt efterspurgt, da den var sød, nem at skrælle, og kernefri. Så godt som alle de Washington Navel træer, der vokser i Californien i dag, stammer fra Eliza Tibbetts' oprindelige to appelsintræer. The first citrus trees in California were from the Mediterranean, and were planted by the padres in the gardens of Mission San Gabriel about 1803. In 1873 Mrs. Eliza Tibbetts brought two Washington Navel orange trees to Riverside from Brazil, and this variety of orange was soon in high demand, because it was sweet, easy to peel, and seedless. Practically all Washington Navel trees growing in California today are descended from Eliza's two trees.     Nagami Kumquat

Bearss Lime         Ja, det ligner godt nok vores Boulevard, men mon dog? Jeg har nu ikke lige bidt mærke i, at det vrimler med appelsintræer... Yeah, it looks like our Boulevard alright, but is it? I for one have never noticed a great abundance of orange trees around...     Ponderosa citroner er på størrelse med grapefrugter. Ponderosa lemons are the size of grape fruit.

Skulpturen med de to piger er en kopi af en af de tidligste Sunkist reklamer fra 1908. The sculpture of two girls is a copy of one of the earliest Sunkist ads from 1908.   Her... tag en appelsin! ~ Here... have an orange!

Der er næsten ikke noget, der dufter dejligere end citrusblomster. Citrus blossoms have an absolutely amazing fragrance.
