I wish we could grow more stuff here.
I know that I am going to try to have a lemon and an orange tree for sure. I hate paying IN FLORIDA so much for those fruits. Two dollars for three lemons? That is a crime![/QUOTE]
Gracie,
I just got back from Ohio last weekend a week ago and found that my Meyer lemon has 12 nice-sized lemons on it - just starting to turn yellow (I think they ripen in October). It's only about 2 feet high and maybe 3 feet in diameter.
I planted it in a pot last November (it was on clearance at Home Depot for $10), covered it last winter during all the freezes and just put it where the sprinklers would hit it when we left in early May.
I overwatered it last spring and many tiny lemons turned black and fell off or I'd probably have more. Now I'm trying to figure out if I have room for a Persian lime somewhere or if I can put it in a pot as well.
You can do it!
