PBI:
I recommend buying the ShamWow for any spills/cleanup in your kitchen and around the house. I bought mine with a 20% off coupon from Bed Bath & Beyond. It has really lessened my paper towel usage.
Also, I wonder if the recycled paper goods (like Seventh Generation) would decompose...

Mystery (mostly!) solved!!! One fell off the tree yesterday. (I don't know if it fell, if the wind knocked it off, or if a cat knocked it off.)
The skin is green still - but look at the inside! The skin, still being unripe, was not yielding enough yet for me to peel it easily with my fingers...

Yes, I think discovering what kind of citrus this is will be a process of trial and error and process of elimination! :)

I was wary to put the trap out on my front lawn because it was like, "Oh, I just moved here and you all don't know me, but I am going to catch your cats." It just didn't seem right!
I will try the moth ball thing before I go to the expense (and pain) of doing the chicken wire. Thank you! :)...

I will post pictures as soon as I pick one and know what it is. :)

November - got it! Thank you :)
Mine (as you can see from the photographs) are green still.
Sadly, I have no idea how old my tree is, but it was here when we looked at the house (3 1/2 months before we moved in) in September 2006. And it hasn't grown up much since then.
I really want to...

I have a huge problem with stray cats, too! Three of my neighbors feed all the strays. (They put out food in their driveways.) On average, there are roughly 15-20 cats on my little 6-house cul-de-sac!
I have tried a few things, too, but none have worked.
- I used some store-bought...

I'm new to Houston -- I didn't even know there was a county extension office website! So thank you for letting me know about that. :)
I will look at that website as soon as I find out what this plant is, so then I can help it grow to be healthy and happy!

Thank you for welcoming me! Sadly, I am not one of the savvy gardeners, so I will probably be of no help to other people... :/ But I will try, if I can!
I do hope someone can help me ID my tree!

Thank you! I will start looking up Navel oranges to see if the descriptions fit my plant.
Do you happen to know when your MIL picks hers off her tree? (Or, if we live in different regions and so the growing season is different, what color the skin will become? and what color should it be when...

I didn't know where to put this, so I've submitted it in the general section.
I "inherited" this citrus tree when I bought this house in December 2006 (I'm in Houston, TX). Two and a half years later, it is bearing its first load of fruit. (I do not know, though, *when* the tree was planted.)...
