Growing fruit in our tiny yard seems so exotic… and yet, we did! This afternoon Helaine picked our first lemon.
There’s not much you can do with one lemon other than make sure it’s sour. It was!

Back when I was in school teachers would always scare me with stories of how my exploits would end up in my permanent record. I believe this is it! – Geoff Fox
It’s good to hear your voice again and congratulations on your first harvest. 🙂
You sound like a new parent, bringing home your first offspring.
I have to send the lemon to college?
LOL
It won’t cost as much as it did when you sent your daughter to college.
“Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet…but the fruit of the lemon…”
I remember our first peach, we did the same thing, video and all! Congrats on your first citrus!!!
I remember when our apricot showed it first blossom during January. For months I would watch how the flowers turned from flowers to tiny apricots. Come June when they started to ripen up, I would check them every day to see when the first one would be picked & eaten. That made my day. Royal apricots are the best. They are like eating candy.
Whoaaa! Great video, but now I’m all puckered!!! 😛
And a fine lemon it is….or was?!?! 😀
Alas, he gave his life for my wife’s Diet Pepsi.
Congratulations! Did you name it? How about Lulu?
Looks like you have a good crop, yet to ripen. A squirt of lemon into a nice glass of ice water will quench one’s thirst, and in my case, cut down on the number of kidney stones I produce. Up here, Lemons are still at 3/$2.00.
Hey, did you happen to catch Hamden being featured on the weather channel for “Extreme Weather” segment–referring to 40″ snow storm last Feb.?? I think it was featured on Tues.
