RE: My orange

You can pick them and store them but you have to be careful in several ways;
cut each one with a small piece of stem still attached, store in a cool dark
place each one NOT TOUCHING the others - maybe wrapped in tissue paper would
help; and check often to remove and eat, at the same time watching for and
removing any that show signs of rot.

Subject: My orange

	I got a reply to my orange plea from good reliable Margaret Nottle,
a  
fount of all knowledge biological!

	She wondered if it was a Navel Orange.

	I know enough to know that that orange gets its name from the  
appearance of its bottom (or butt, if you prefer!)

	So I went out to photograph it for her.

	As I held it up to view the designated portion of its anatomy, it  
came off in my hand.

	Previous ones have been kind of dry and woody.

	This one was beautiful and it tasted great.

	You can see the pictures at:

	Now how do I rescue them before they drop in the ground and rot!
