Thread: In the Garden 2019

HAR! I have a customer who just brought me a huge bag of 'Meyer Lemons' sez he. Planted an orange too close to a lemon.
Smaller tangy oranges from the orange tree. Tons every year. Usually get a 2 month supply.


I have a 50's 'Juice O Mat'. Time to give it the annual clean and polish. Do 2 every morning!

It's too small for MY lemons, however!

Pretty slick looking, bet it works like a charm.

My aunts looks like this---------


Years ago Safeway got sold on making fresh squeezed OJ in the produce dept. The machine was pretty cool. You loaded the valencia oranges (they put out more juice than navels) in the top and started the machine, an orange would drop down then be sliced in half and were turned cut side down then two arms with rubber cups would squeeze the oranges and then an arm kicked the spent 1/2's out the back where they landed in a trash bucket.

Those machines cost a bit over $8000.00 It was a major pain in the arse, replacement parts were super expensive (an employee broke the reservoir and a new one cost $200) the program only lasted a couple of years. Those $8K machines were sold for $400 each!

Nothing like Corporate!!

YES! I have a green depression glass one about like that. Never used it, tho.
Remember the electric ones where the middle went round?

Treat it with care, I can't remember where I saw it but one just like that the seller had listed for $75!!

I think we're a little bit behind you...

I just thought that I'd let everyone know that I started a new Garden Thread here:
