I am still dreaming about adding a garden room to the house on the backyard patio, so that I can just walk directly into it from the house, and grow all my favorite herbs and flavorings.

I’d especially like to have at least 2 more lemon trees. I love fresh lemon juice on so many things.

We don’t have a tiller, so we just kinda make do with what we have. My raised beds don’t really need it anyway, and Hubby is converting some of his garden patches to raised beds too.

I love my little shotgun shack. It's not a big house (one bedroom, sorta small) but the kitchen is large. Very large. One end I use for the kitchen, and the other end is my office. It has windows East, South, and West, so I built a sun-shelf somewhat above my office space.

Of course, single guys can do that. ;)

Any suggestions on using lemon juice? I picked about 40 lemons this year to try dehydrating lemon zest (I don't think it's going to work out). Left a couple hundred on the tree. I've still got probably a gallon of juice frozen from last year.

I haven't figured out how to take close up pictures with my camera, but here's a shot of a lemon tree beginning to bloom to brighten up the thread.

My fall Amelia tomatoes continue to produce.

And some lettuce.
