My favorite snacking citrus is the teeny tiny Kishu mandarin. I have one of them, a Eureka lemon, and a blood orange in pots on my deck. My next door neighbor has three Meyer lemons and an un-named orange that makes great marmalade. So we're in good shape here, even in years when the squirrels discover a passion for citrus.
Sweet that you're dreaming of asparagus--the local crop is in here, and I'm eating it twice a day, sometimes three times!

Totally reveled in citrus to my hearts content. batches galore of marmalade: 5 citrus marmalade (the largest amount by volume of any CP testing I've done), Meyer lemon & ginger marmalade with cardamom, Kumquat marmalade with birds eye chili, ...preserved Meyer lemons, Key lime & Meyer lemon pickles, Indian style

I came to the realization a few weeks ago that I almost always have a bag of lemons in my fridge. That, and heavy cream. It feels good to be prepared!

I WISH I had a lemon tree, but I'm afraid I probably don't get enough sunlight for it. I love citrus though, and my quick weeknight dinners usually involve it when I don't know what to make.

LOVE that citrus! We have 2 Meyer lemons, a mandarin and a blood orange - all in pots. Lemons and blood oranges are set right now, mandarin hasn't bloomed yet. They make great shade to sneak a chaise lounge under too!!!
