Beautiful, as always! So jealous of your fresh lemons!

I took pictures of my roses for you this morning; will post and ping you later today or this evening. :)

Will look forward to seeing your garden photos.

We had SO many lemons last year our poor tree broke in half - the trunk itself broke right down the middle!

I think my husband counted something like lemons - we put out nine large trash bags in front of the house - those disappeared quickly - one neighbor left us a bag of grapefruit in exchange. We juiced them, froze gallons of lemon juice, made ice cubes - and still had to fill up two recycling bins full of lemons to toss out - they were starting to rot and we had nowhere to put them.

A friend came and trimmed the tree back for us at the end of last summer, I thought it was a goner - but it’s come back stronger than ever and appears to be putting on the same amount of lemons as before. It’s not a young tree - we planted it almost 30 years ago when we first moved in, but the past two years it has exploded with fruit.
