Sorry to hear of your sinus infection. They can get pretty nasty.

I harvested my Meyers lemon the other day. It took almost a year to ripen. Most of last season, I thought it might be a lime. Long story on this plant. I killed it 4 years ago, and refused to give up. Then it sprouted new growth from the rootstock 3 years ago, and budded this lemon last year.

I could probably waited another month, but got antsy and picked it when I saw yellow everywhere on it. We haven’t yet made a couple of glasses of lemonade yet.

Hubby continues to be amazed with my lemon tree. I think it is a Meyer, but don’t know for sure, as the catalog I ordered it from didn’t give the specific name.

As it was to be a two for one lemon and lime, we also were not certain what we were getting the first time. The lime had lots of thorns, so we wound up cutting it off entirely.

The skin is thin and the lemon is much juicier than the lemons sold at the grocery. It made great lemonade, and juice for seafood.
