Life’s Lemons;
Self-sufficiency in Meyer lemons is the goal of a citywide project supported by Friends of the Urban Forest, set to start early this spring. As envisioned by longtime urban activist Isabel Wade, the first step would be mapping every Meyer lemon tree in town, says FUF program director Doug Wildman. It's thought there might be 3,000 to 4,000 already flourishing in San Francisco; 12,000 trees - to be planted in pots or in the ground - would make us self-sufficient.
Despite this high-minded goal, I'm fretting about an abundance of lemon bars making brownies an endangered species in our town.
P.S.: The Flea Market column of the online SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator) National Accelerator Laboratory news site includes an offer forwarded by Jamie Jobb: "Do you still have some old, unused IBM 80-column punch cards collecting dust somewhere? Let's trade. I can offer eggs from our free range chickens from our organic farm."
