Baby Lemons!

My indoor dwarf citrus have been blooming for weeks now - the Meyer Lemon in profusion and the lime sparsely. But for the first time I saw tiny little citrus emerging from the blooms. Most of the branches are very thin, so I am clipping some of the buds off to improve the chances of any of them making it to maturity. I don't know if either is established enough to successfully fruit this year, but I'll give it a go!

  1. Heidi, I love your blog! I came across it while searching for Colorado Springs vegetable gardening info. I also live in the Springs and am slowly but surely starting to do many of the "homestead"-like things that you do ... baking my own bread, hanging laundry outside to dry, planting a garden, canning jams and salsas, green cleaning, etc. It feels good to be more self-reliant. I'll be following your blog for more great ideas, thanks!!
