Welcome to my first blog post of 2015!
What a better way to start than with the fresh, clean lemon tree.
As you know from previous post that we bought a Ponderosa Lemon Tree earlier last year.
See the tiny lemons?
Lemon’s are so expensive but so easy to grow. We take the plant inside during the cold winter months and since we live in the south I can leave the tree outside during the summer. We had several lemons on the tree earlier this spring but the dogs chased a bug behind the pot and knocked the plant over sending most of the lemons scattering here and there. Can’t get mad at these two though.
I'm showing you baby pictures so we can all get that awe factor.
We still have one fruit left on the tree to watch and nurture. I will say that we are now seeing several new blossoms appearing. We are hopeful for the next round of lemons.
I give my plant about a half cup of water a day. That doesn’t seem much but I know that you can over-water easily. The plant seems to be happy so I won’t change that routine until I move it outside and will give it more water each day because of the hot summer sun. We planted the tree in a bigger pot with several drainage holes and some pebbles in the bottom for proper water filtering.
You don’t want the tree to get water logged.
Lemons take about 8 months to ripen so there is no quick turn around. When the lemon is bright in color and gives slightly to the touch it’s ready to go. This one isn't ready yet. You can't tell but it's the size of my palm so it's a large lemon.
My sister in law Sharon has a lime tree that grows outside her kitchen window in Houston, Texas.
She has tons of fruit growing.
Try a new thing this year and grow a lemon or a lime tree.
Here is a new way of cleaning the kitchen counter using lemon essential oil.
It’s pure and clean and disinfects.
Please contact me on how to reach my essential oils web site - settersrun360@gmail.com
I use a Mr. Clean magic eraser first to get all the sticky stuff off followed by a few drops of essential oil using a wet paper towel.
Clean and disinfected without the use of chemicals. Perfect way to start the New Year!
Remember that when life gives you lemons - Hey that's great! Free Lemons!
