Got some citric acid powder and vegetable rennet tablets at 1/4 the price of the drug and grocery store options in Alpine. The Junket rennet I've been using has been OK...but not curding up that well even using 2 tablets. Tried out the real thing today with just a quarter tablet and the milk began to curd as soon as I mixed it in. Got great separation and a most excellent curd.
The orange and grapefruit trees are blooming like mad now and the whole greenhouse is filled with the aroma. Found my first blossom on the lemon tree today. 63,84,36,0,C,0
