Lumpy bumpy oranges

[KenK]

Found these at Walmart last Saturday. They are very ugly but if you see
then try a bag. Relatively inexpensive. Very easy to peel; skin comes off
in just a few large pieces. Very sweet and juicy. Ignore the appearamce.

We seem to think the nicet looking fruit and veggies are the best
tasting, but they rarely are. I order oranges from Florida and they are
often a sorry looking lot but they are soooo gooood.

Couple of weeks ago we were in Florida and on the way home picked up a
bag of Honey Bell oranges. Wish I had bought two or three bags. Loaded
with juice!

You can order Honey Bells as well. The season is February?

Can you tell us which type of orange... there are seveal types of
citrus that're not very attractive but taste wonderful. Recently I
bought these at BJs, six/$12... worth it:

The skin looks like the skin of a Seville orange, but those things are
nasty to eat. They are only suitable for making marmalade.

Sounds like Cuties(TM). Bags of mandarin oranges fer < $4USD.

ALWAYS ask for a sample! I usta buy these ....until I bought a bag
that was sooooo! sour, I hadda toss the entire bag.

As expected, there is already a capitalist "war" between Cutie and other
producers. That's when I bailed. ;)

Do you happen to know the name of the oranges? I bought some a while back and didn't think to take down the name for finding them in the future.

Seville oranges are lumpy and bumpy. There are horrible tasting, but
they make incredible marmalade.

[dsi1]

They are tangerines. Sumo mandarins.

On Fri 14 Jul 2017 07:57:46p, Dave Smith told us...

Not all Seville oranges are lumpy and bumpy. Many are smooth skinned.
The trees are grown for decorative purposes all over Phoenix, and I
make a few jars of marmalade a couple of times a year.

Mandarins just showed up in my market this week. Probably the season

Imagine how much Colorado River water had to be sacrificed to make that

OK, I will. Hopefully, that water will get recycled back into the river. Those growers look so cheerful. They hope to usher in a new age of low acid fruit.

It never comes back, in fact we're in all kinds of violation of our
agreement with Mejico to re-water the Sea of Cortez delta.

https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/03/140322-colorado-river-delta-pulse-flow-morelos-dam-minute-319-water/

Thanks to a landmark agreement between the United States and Mexico, the
parched Colorado River Delta will get a rejuvenating shot of water this
spring for one of the first times in five decades, just in time for
World Water Day on March 22.

On March 23, 2014, the gates of Morelos Dam on the Arizona-Mexico border
will be lifted to allow a "pulse flow" of water into the final stretch
of the Colorado River. Officials and scientists hope the water will help
restore a landscape that has long been arid but that once supported a
rich diversity of life.

"The pulse flow is about mimicking the way the Colorado River flowed in
the springtime, thanks to snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains, before all
the dams were built," says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water
Policy Project and a National Geographic Freshwater Fellow. By the early
1960s, dams on the Colorado, such as Glen Canyon and the Hoover Dam, had
diverted so much water that there was precious little flow entering the
lower Colorado.

Water that did make it to Morelos Dam was diverted into Mexico's
Mexicali Valley for crop irrigation, leaving little for the wildlife or
indigenous people living in the delta.

These are enviro-things we really CAN fix, and should too.

I promise you it will not be long before Arizona and Nevada start
talking to Mejico about a desalinated water pipeline to replace our
dying river.

I have to think bargaining is better when the chief user shows good
faith first.

Keeping trees off of the river bank and streams saves a huge amount of
water. Obviously we can't remove all trees from the banks of
waterways but there are a lot of trash trees allowed to sprout and
grow because landowners are lazy. There is work being done in some
south western states to address this problem. Here, in my city,
workers are cutting down mature trees and saplings that have been
allowed to grow on the banks of canals. For us, canals are a purpose
built water delivery system for farmers out in the county. Too much
water was lost to trees that served no purpose.
Janet US

[Casa de los peregrinos]

We have a major problem here, now being addressed at long last, with
salt cedar (Tamarisk) along the banks of the Rio Grande.

Sure it's great at stabilizing and halting erosion, but they are so
water thirsty that the losses are intolerable.

We also have something we locally call "acequias" which indeed are just
small canals used for irrigation.

In ABQ proper there are many urban neighborhoods where people still farm
small plots and rely on these and the ditch rider (Mayordomo) is still a
respected and important figure in the community.

It's all very ancient and very cool.

Oh, and it works!

But that spring brush hogging is a thankless job.

My son-in-law is working on the exact same project in NM.
Probably the same as you referenced. I don't mean physically, he is
working with the entities you mention as a researcher and
environmental oversight. My daughter sent me a book that discusses
the acequias and the land ownership around them and how much water
those trees steal each day. Fascinating

Small world, eh?

Tamarisk has been an absolute disaster since it was introduced here in
the arid West and despite its pretty pink blossoms it has to go.

I was tempted to mention "The Milagro Beanfield War" too...plenty of
acequia action in that book and series.

There's a PBS series on natural ecosystems I've been watching lately
that really shows the proper interactions of native species of all kinds:

http://www.clemson.edu/public/expeditions/

The Trans Pecos episodes are compelling for showing the remnant sky
islands specieation in what are now extremely geographically isolated
ecosystems.

Also the Catalina Island episodes were spot-on.

I'd love to see this guy explore our "Malpais" (bad country) lava fields
as well as southern Idaho's volcanic deserts.

I'll watch for that program.
You would be fascinated to visit our Craters of the Moon National
Park.
https://www.nps.gov/crmo/index.htm
When you get to that part of the state, dynamite is necessary for
construction. It's been awhile since I've been to Craters of the
Moon. You don't want to go in the dead of summer. It is just too
darn hot. There are also lava tube caves for exploration over that
way. If you go to Craters of the Moon be sure to wear some good
walking shoes or boots. It would be easy to turn an ankle as the area
isn't all nice pathways like Yellowstone for instance. You get to
walk on sharp hardened lava.

I haven't seen any for at least 2 years. I found them in Kroger twice in the winter but havent seen them since. Im in MI Never saw them at Walmart. I'll have to try again.
