They make a very interesting alternative to lemon juice in marinades...

Can you use them for juicing or are they too tart?

I have a similar type orange tree which are great for marmalade and are picked by friends. However they are so abundant I get the gardener to put loads in plastic bags and leave them outside on the pavement. They are soon scooped up by passers bye.Do the same with grapefruit. It has been a bumper year.

Still have an abundance of grapefruit on the tree but you will, need to pick them. Must be about 40 kilos so plenty of bags or boxes. Live in Ozankoy near to rafters if you are interested. Can’t get used to PM so phone 0533 849 3078 either way.

Any grapefruits going free on the west side....? Cheeky I know but if anyone has some going to waste...
Think this would be a great way to get rid of excess produce that other people could make use of....
I could swap for rosemary ....lavender... oranges....
