I have been wanting to own a lemon tree my whole life! This dream started when I was probably about 5 years old?
My mother is from Southern California and grew up around all sorts of citrus trees, I heard of these citrus trees growing up. And then went for a visit to a family friends house who had quite a few lemon trees growing on the rolling country side behind his home. I remember picking lemons in the misty California morning, the pungent smell of the lemons is something that I will remember for the rest of my life.
Living in Colorado I was never able to grow one......since moving to Texas I have seen tons of them at gardening stores....so guess what Mom and I went and bought yesterday? A LEMON TREE!!!! I will be planting it tomorrow in the front yard near my bedroom window so that I can smell the lemons in the morning, I will try to fill ya'll in on how the planting goes and how it looks when finished. I'm sorry this post sounds a little scattered but I wanted to post pics before I run off to church. Have a blessed Sunday and I will be writing again tomorrow!
Adios,
Jessie Lou
