Meyer Lemons ready to eat

Ok Fernsdaddy, you really got it going on now. I like the concept of just picking what you need as you go along. your idea looks great and your reward looks even greater. I hope the Clementine orange tree gives you a pretty big yield also. Those oranges may turn out looking so beautiful you might not wanna pick em. I will look out for those pics too.

I have only 4 lemons left on the tree, I made fresh lemonade today and it was just great not to sweet or to sour.

Reading about all those lemon cookies, lemon icing for a chocolate cherry cake, and fresh lemonade made me so hungry! I love everything lemon flavored

At last my Meyer lemon tree has lemons ready to pick and eat or at least it will with in a week. Its lemon cookies and cake time There about 20 lemons on the tree and that means I'll have lemons until the first of the year

Looks like you're using a fluorescent lamp - how many hours a day does the lemon tree get that light?

And I'm assuming a grow lamp is more or less essentially for a thriving tree during a northern winter?

The fluorescent light are cheap under counter lights There on about 8 hrs every day, I use them for my orchids and African violets and other plants as well, the window that the tree is in faces south so that helps too.

Sounds like an easy solution. Any experience with LED's by chance?

I've never used them, with the cost I don't think I will ever use them.
