Starting an edible garden, particularly with citrus fruits, offers fresh, nutritious ingredients for meals. Citrus fruits are versatile and can be used in various ways. Proper harvesting is crucial; using garden pruning shears to leave a bit of stem attached helps maintain the fruit's skin integrity, preventing moisture loss and spoilage.
