Lemon Tree Very Pretty

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

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