Someting worth remembering: This is the season of le zagare - the citrus flower blossoms blossoming. I mean lemons and sweet orange trees are full with their tiny white and slightly opaque flowers. In these days, by mid-April, in addition to wisteria, you can feel their scent now all over town, a mesmerizing perfume clouds floating in the streets. Simply a pleasure, a sign that spring is now, at the beginning of the second half of April, at its very best.

It is the
limone sfusato della Costa d'Amalfi trees that are now in full bloom. Actually, in Positano, as well as in Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast, you get three main harvests of citrus fruits. For lemons, this means that now the spring harvest has begun. It is between March and June that you get especially fine fruits. But then, you can harvest lemons all year long, and also between mid-December and February. But before you will be able to read more about lemons in the posts to come, enjoy the pictures of le zagare. And in the next post, we will be presenting a garden cafe in the midst of a lemon grove ...
