Well, it's been a long wait but we FINALLY got to harvest our first year of lemons! It was a pretty exciting event. For the longest time they were almost all yellow (still a little green on them) so I waited and waited and waited. I decided I better pick them before they start to dry out and it was perfect timing! They were delicious! Not quite enough to make lemonade (the whole reason we decided on a lemon tree over an orange tree) but it's better than nothing!!!
Sadly right after we picked the lemons the temperatures dropped dramatically...like to below FREEZING! So we were really careful and made sure the tree got covered with a sheet every night. Of course we had record breaking cold and as of today our poor tree is not looking good. All of the leaves are dead and we are hoping it still pulls through and will start to grow.
