One of the pleasures I get out of this Very blessed life is growing plants and have them reward you with
their bounty. One of my favorites is my Myer Lemon tree. I always have to have lemon in my sweet tea.
My tree doesn't look to lush, it has had a hard time for about 2 years. While I was trying to fight a knee replacement and infection in both knees and my back my tree had to stay with someone else. So I didn't get to baby it or fertilize it. I truly believe we have a connection with our plants. Opps anyway my bird dog went on a different trail. But through it all when I brought it home it presented me with 3 lemons.
If you haven't had a Myers Lemon you haven't had a real lemon.
When I picked the lemons she gave me a wonderful sniff of lovely scent. I know I know I am waxing
long about this tree, but I love this tree and what it gives me. If you dont have one get one.
I had to pick the fruit before our first cold front comes through. She will go along with other plants into my greenhouse. She will probably set bloom as soon as I fertilize her. The blooms are so nice.
I know alot of people out on the west coast have these in your back yard....lucky you.
Just three but they will be used in my sweet tea and bring a smile to my face. And I will Thank GOD
for his wonderful creation. This is a story of a Southern Belle and her love for lemons.
Thanks for stopping by.......Ya'll

ReplyDeleteI have two lemon trees and two lime. Hopefully this year they will bear some fruit. I think the lemons will. :)
