Lemon Tree

I cannot believe how beautiful and prolific my lemon tree is.  It's amazing actually.  I counted 37, yes 37, lemons on this tree.  It has done amazingly well this year and for that, I'm very grateful.  Since we had such an awful, hot, dry summer, I kept a constant drip of water on this tree all summer long and it worked because the tree is thriving and is full of lemons.  And some of them are as big as my fist!  Take a look...














Luckily they are not all ripe and ready to pick at the same time.  Now the challenge...what to do with them!  Not to worry...I've got a few recipes already planned and it'll be fun to research more :)  Stay tuned...

    Lemon Meringue pie? Lemon souffle? Lemon chicken with Tarragon? Gin & Tonic with a slice of lemon? Or just plain home-made lemonade! You can never have too many lemons.

    Those are near-perfect lemons! I'm so jealous! I remember picking lemons off the tree for fresh lemonade when I lived in California for a few months--nothing like it! Enjoy!

    Did you bring your lemon tree indoors for the winter? i did and am wondering when to put back outside. We live near canyon lake.
    I hope mine gives as much fruit as yours!
