Mmmm, yes, it's that time of year again - lemon season! Seriously, who doesn't love a good lemon tart or lemon meringue pie, some refreshing lemon cordial, or a nice piece of fresh bread slathered with lemon butter?
Incidentally, if anyone isn't already growing a lemon tree, I can highly recommend the Meyer lemon. Mine is grafted onto dwarfing rootstock, is just over 1 metre tall and, as you can see, is literally dripping with large, sweet fruit. Gotta be happy with that.
My coffee hedge is also coming along nicely with lots of nice new growth:
But beware adding too much cow manure to new plants. I thought the stuff I added was pretty well composted, but I've managed to "burn" the plants a little anyway, as you can see from the yellowed edges. Whoops.
Another gardening lesson learnt ;-)

Your lemon tree is magnificent, I can't wait till mine gets as big and as full of fruit!
Blessings:)
Hi Molly, thanks :-)
Hi Crazy Mumma,
What a healthy looking lemon.... You are certainly doing better than my total of 3 fruit set this year congratulations.
Kind Regards
Belinda
