chickenanne Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I managed to kill my lemon tree by forgetting to water it (stupid me!). However the lemons they produce are absolutely glorious. i would say a soth facing window is ideal for them during winter and put them on a nice sheltered sunny patio in the summer.

Cinnamon Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 They have a bag of 3 organic unwaxed lemon for £1 at Tesco at the moment. I bought 2 .....so I can make some lemon curd and grow a tree too hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhotchick Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 After reading this thread I am now inspired to attempt to grow my own lemon tree from some pips I saved from an organic lemon Should be interesting Does anyone know if they have a particular soil preference After reading this thread I am now inspired to move to New Zealand Oh OK, I might try and grow a lemon tree instead. Just off to dig some lemon pips out of the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have been drying my Amaryllis out in the kitchen by the sink and not watering it and happened to see on Saturday a green shoot - wondering what it was I started to poke about and lo and behold it is one of the lovely lemon pips I had at xmas and had popped into the pot on the windowsill as they were huge pips and looked just like they were ready to grow. Obviously it was - it is now dug up and in a pot of its own about 1" high already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
