Lemons


We have a very strange neighbor lady (widow) who spends her life in her 2 acre yard gardening. She is capable of doing just about anything—carpentry, mechanics, you name it. (especially in her own opinion a true know-it-all) She can also pour on the "charm, soft lights, sad music, poor old widow act" and get the darndest things done for herself for little or no cost.

Anyway, when I went to the mailbox, yesterday, she'd left a bag on our mailbox containing 3 lemons which she'd grown in her house! I've never seen such gorgeous lemons, (and I'm a native Southern Californian—having lived in citrus country for 30 years) the inside of the lemons were as beautiful and tasty as any I've ever come across! I may have to brave the elements (smoke filled house—she's a chain smoker) to see her lemon tree. I'll let you know.

Hugs!

I think there might be something to this indoor planting. I know someone that had an indoor peach tree. Tiny peaches but oodles of them and yummy.

WOW! I would have never dreamed anyone could grow lemons inside their house! That's really cool!

I've never heard of growing lemons inside either. So I guess your just going to have to go over there and see what sort of tree she has so you can tell us all about it. lol
