HI Gerry!!

I wonder who the father is????

She is a beauty. I always wanted a lemon tree/plant. They are costly......

So...strawberry-lemon(lemonberry) is my favorite slush flavor from Sonic. Let me know when they are ready....all we need is some ice and a blender. :O)

Oh, yours looks much healthier than mine! Mill Valley, no wonder... My Meyer has been wintering in the house. Last year, the squirrels ate all my lemons. ;-(

I have two of these, Gerald. Both are loaded with young'uns. I have to pinch some off to ease the crowding.

I've heard that men have a sort of womb envy. You are so caught up in the fecundity of life - at all stages... it's fascinating.

It's not envy, but adoration. I got this one at a local nursery for less than $20, and there were others that were bigger with more fruit, but this one spoke to me!

I highly recommend Bearss lime as well. It does seem strange how squirrels like citrus. A young squirrel refused to leave my grapefruit tree on the front porch, and unfortunately the cats got him. I love growing citrus in Oregon. If you bring them in in the dead of winter, they often go into bloom and make your house smell like a sunny place.

I see lots of green pots. The smell of lemons hanging on the branches is wonderful.
Here in Greece we use a lot of lemons when we eat meat and fish + sea food.
You can cook and you love plants; you must be a wonderful person ! no compliments; I am just speaking out loud; typical Greek.
love, light and lots of sunshine

I know what you meant, Barbara, but this one's already starting to crank out the lemons. There's only one really recognizable as a lemon, but I can see a bunch of them popping out of each of the flowers the bees have pollinated.
