Help!
My little Myer Lemon Tree is overloaded! I need to come to her aid.
And this is AFTER I asked a few of my friends to help themselves to lemons after a luncheon I hosted a week or so ago.
I received my prolific citrus producer five years back for Christmas from my hubby. It’s a dwarf Myer and it sure does it’s thing when it comes to producing lemons – all year long!
I think this is the most overloaded I’ve ever seen her. We call her “Limoncella,” and maybe that’s just what I should do to come to her aid, take some weight off her shoulders and put dollars in my pockets.
YES! I can produce Italian Liquor and sell it on the street corner, at my own little Limoncella Stand. Instead of 5 cents a glass, I can charge 5 dollars a shot.
Hmmm . . .
I’ve got several other ideas that I’m going to expand on in Kitchen Magician . . . stay tuned.

I wish I was your neighbor!
Wow. Yes, I wish I were your neighbor! What a great little tree!
Cassie, I wonder what would happen if you actually fed her?
I am so waiting for a nice Flat Rate postal box full!?! Pretty please! You know how I love lemons.
I wonder if there is any Lemon I can grow in a container here?
I wish all three of you were my neighbors, and not just so you could take lemons off my hands!
J – I’ll pack you up a box and send them off. And if ANYONE can find a way to grow them in a container, you certainly can!
Wowee! Here I am in Houston, with my little Meyer Lemon tree in a pot now stashed in my living room to avoid the hard freezes of the past few days. And to think we were thrilled with the 10-12 lemons off one tree (though the size of oranges and so sweet) and barely two on the other. They never seem to produce at the same time. And I do feed them twice a year with citrus fertilizer, I think from Fertilome. What can I say? California always tops the rest of us in this department. Perhaps, with your economy, a few stands wouldn’t hurt!
Yes, Jessica, my neighbor and I both grow in pots. Your lovely garden room would be perfect in the winter. Though a fraction of the size of Cassie’s, the joy of watching them grow and then deciding which lucky people will receive a very few of them is great fun. The flowering blooms smell heavenly, which you’ll love in your enclosed space. Go for it! They’re selling here right now.
