06.12.20 Steve's Lemons

If you live in Oceanside, you most likely know Steve and he knows you. Not only is he one of the friendliest people in town, he is also an avid grower of all kinds of trees and plants. If this blog was about growing exotic specimens in your backyard , I would tell you about the mammoth Morton Bay Fig tree that is suffocating one of his palm trees for his own artistic ambitions, or the Giant Staghorn Fern that looks like a piece of finely pleated silk tailoring itself neatly around another palm tree as it replicates. But, I had to resort to the giant lemons growing timidly near the back fence, can you blame them?

Sol made a delicious pasta featuring zest from one of Steve’s lemons, 8 cloves of minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste and parmesan cheese on top..
