Lime Leaves
The lime tree in our backyard has started to push out new growth. The difference between this year and previous years is that there is no old growth — leaves — on the otherwise bare branches. The multiple, hard freezes we had this winter did them in.
Those new leaves are certainly delicate. Will insects find them and have a feast before they toughen into their more waxy . . . mature(?) form?
I’m almost attempted to taste one. Do lime leaves taste lime-ish?
