The thorns on the cold hardy lemon are something else.

Look at the difference in size between the old thorns (lower on the branch) and these big ones on the new growth.

One of my closest friends informed me that she is moving a 6 hour drive away, in two months time. The news devastated me, for my own selfish reasons. I don't have another close friend in town. Who am I going to smoke with and go on food dates with now? Who am I gonna meet up once a month for a walk with now? What about my summer?

After a week of crying and feeling bad for me, I suddenly realized that IATA.

This move, for her, means a fresh start. A chance at future happiness that she most likely will never find in our current town. It also means training for a new career and being closer to her actual best friend.

I am married. I have kids. I have 2 dogs and a cat. She is single, child free, and her dog died 3 months ago, sending her into an incredible depression that she still has not fully emerged from.

She needs this change for her own mental health and well being. I love her and I get it now.

Anyway. We went on a food date yesterday and stopped by the Ft. Collins Nursery and I picked up a lime tree.

I have always wanted to grow container citrus trees. Why not start now?

The Best of Meyer Lemon Trees

Lemons are one of the most versatile fruits out there. They can be used in sweet or savory dishes, and their bright flavor is a welcome addition to any meal. If you love lemons, why not grow your own? Meyer lemon trees are a great option for indoor growers, and they produce an abundance of juicy, delicious lemons.

Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and an orange, and they have a thinner skin than regular lemons. This makes them ideal for use in drinks, as the peel is not as bitter. Meyer lemon trees are also relatively easy to care for, and they can produce fruit year-round with proper care.

To grow your own Meyer lemon tree, you will need a few supplies. First, you will need a tree. Meyer lemon trees are available at most nursery and garden stores. You will also need a pot that is at least 12 inches in diameter, and you will need to use a well-draining potting mix. Be sure to water your tree regularly, as Meyer lemon trees are susceptible to drought. Fertilize your tree every six weeks with a citrus fertilizer, and be sure to provide plenty of sunlight.

Once your tree is established, it will begin to produce fruit. Lemons can be harvested year-round, but they are typically in season from late fall to early spring. When harvesting lemons, be sure to wear gloves, as the lemon juice can be irritating to the skin. Cut the lemon from the tree with a sharp knife, and twist it to loosen the fruit.

Recipe tips

Now that you have your lemons, it's time to make some lemonade! This classic summer drink is refreshing and easy to make. Simply combine 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar, and 6 cups of water in a pitcher. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, and then refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice, and enjoy!

There are endless possibilities when it comes to recipes that include lemons. From sweet to savory, there's a lemon dish out there for everyone. One of our favorites is this recipe for grilled salmon with a lemon-dill sauce. The lemon juice helps to keep the salmon moist, and the dill adds a beautiful flavor.

To make the sauce, simply combine 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of chopped dill, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season your salmon fillets with salt and pepper, and brush with olive oil. Grill for about 4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through.

Remove the salmon from the grill, and drizzle with the lemon-dill sauce. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Yes I did still buy a fruit tree! You knew I did. It’s a Mandarin orange tree because we just love those little cuties. I don’t think we could ever have enough or to much little oranges so we really need these beautiful little tree to grow as fast as possible.

Plants i was willing and able to take off my shelf

My mystery citrus that took like a month to germinate (i forgot i put it in one of my pots)

My desert ironwood bonsai tree that's decided to drop a few leaves while it sends off more branches

My echeveria "Painted Lady" that started off several times smaller than this but for some reason hasn't given me a place to split it into two plants

Markle one of my few remaining named plants and they've been budding like this for nearly a year now and it's only recently started to look like another cactus

This curvy little shit

My elephant bush (not ro be confused for a jade plant which i also have in here)

And then my moonstones which have essentially become weeds in my plant shelf, pretty much all of my plants have had these growing in their pots at least once. If i desired i could sell them but honestly i don't really care too much for that

There's so many more than this but i think this is already enough pictures for one post

Finally, there are a few flowers on the cold hardy lemon tree. I moved that poor thing around 7 times since I first planted it, I just wasn't happy with it, but I finally found its place. Honestly after the last move, in late autumn last year, I wasn't sure it'd survive, yet here it is, blooming.

Plant of the Day

Monday 25 December 2023

Last year my friend was given a Citrus × aurantium f. aurantium (sweet orange) as a houseplant by her daughter. It grew in a conservatory and this small tree flowered filling the house with scent. Then six fruits developed, ripened and now have been made into delicious jars of marmalade in time to be festive gifts. This is my wonderful jar. The sweet orange is a hybrid between Citrus maxima (pomelo) and Citrus reticulata (mandarin).

Citrus Charm: Growing Lemon Trees Indoors

A Zesty Challenge: Indoor Lemon Trees

Have you ever thought about growing your own lemon tree, right inside your home? With their lush green foliage, fragrant blossoms, and vibrant fruit, lemon trees can be an excellent addition to your indoor garden. Even for those living in cooler climates, nurturing a citrus tree indoors is possible with the right care and attention. Let's explore the steps you need to take to successfully grow a lemon tree in the comfort of your home.

Choosing the Right Lemon Tree Variety

When it comes to growing a lemon tree indoors, selecting the appropriate variety is crucial. Dwarf lemon trees are ideal, as they can thrive in pots and are more compact, making them easier to manage indoors. Some popular dwarf lemon tree varieties include:

- Improved Meyer Lemon: A hybrid variety with a sweeter, less acidic taste, and a thin rind. This variety is especially well-suited for indoor growing.

- Ponderosa Lemon: Known for its large, thick-skinned fruit, it may require additional support due to its heavy lemons.

- Lisbon Lemon: A classic lemon variety, producing bright yellow, medium-sized fruit with a strong lemon flavor and aroma.

Light and Temperature Requirements

Lemon trees love sunlight, and they require a minimum of 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily. Place your tree near a south-facing window or supplement natural light with grow lights. Ideal temperatures for lemon trees range between 55°F and 85°F, with nighttime temperatures slightly cooler than daytime ones. Avoid placing your tree near drafty windows or heating vents, as fluctuations in temperature can stress the plant.

Potting and Watering

Choose a well-draining pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot. A pot that's 10-12 inches in diameter is suitable for young trees, and as the tree grows, you may need to upgrade the pot size. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix, such as a mix formulated for citrus trees, or create your own by combining equal parts peat moss, perlite, and potting soil.

Water your lemon tree thoroughly, allowing the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause leaf drop and poor fruit production.

Fertilizing and Pruning

Feed your indoor lemon tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer specifically designed for citrus trees. Fertilize according to the package instructions, usually every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.

Prune your tree to maintain a manageable size and shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth. Prune the tree during its dormant period (winter) and trim any excessive new growth during the active growing season (spring and summer).

Pest Control

Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. If you notice an infestation, act quickly by using insecticidal soap or neem oil to combat the pests.

Patience is Key

Growing a lemon tree indoors can be a rewarding experience, but remember that it takes time for a tree to mature and produce fruit. With proper care and patience, you'll be able to enjoy the beauty and zest of your very own indoor lemon tree. Happy growing!
