Meyer Lemon flowers!!



Since moving the lemon and lime into the greenhouse, they have exploded into flower. That is the lime behind the lemon and the Avocado below it. It smells amazing in there. However, the bees are gone so I have to hand pollinate. I love pollinating but that end of the greenhouse is a titch crowded with trees so it's hard to reach the back. It is so satisfying being a part of nature and creating fruit!! And it's local. Now....I wonder if there's any chance that avocado with ever bear fruit?



Considering I thought I was going to lose this tree this summer, it is amazing to see this.

This is fascinating to me, Erin, as I never tried to grow citrus. The blossoms are beautiful -- guaranteed to get rid of the winter doldrums! P. x

It is like being in Hawaii. Same smell. I have heard that you can grow Meyer Lemons in the house. :-)
