I have a lemon and orange tree in my back yard.
As it turns out, they are a gift that keeps on giving.
That is to say, I give them to my family, my neighbors, my mailman, the two ladies who clean my house--and anyone else who rings my doorbell. Even so, the two trees look as though they have never been picked of their fruit.
I have thought about putting them in a box, and leaving them at a street that goes in five directions at the end of my street. But, how do I lift such heavy stuff to do even that? And I'm certainly not going to stand there with a sign, "Free Fruit"!
Not even thrift stores wants them--as it appears, they don't want the responsibility of possible bugs on board, although one allowed my to leave my box of fruit outside their doorway.
I no longer drive, and I am not going to lug these heavy boxes anywhere myself, let alone flag down drivers by showing them the fruit in my hands.
Furthermore, only one neighbor sent me a "thank-you" note!
Any suggestions?
