My Meyer lemons appear to be ripening early this year. I expect that they will be ready sometime in October or early November. Last year, the lemons I harvested were enormous, resembling conventional Eureka lemons. This year, they are smaller and shaped more like your average Meyer.
I expect that we will be able to can as much marmalade as we did last year. They made awesome gifts and were consumed rather quickly. If you would like more info on how to grow citrus in pots, click here.
I've noticed this with our lemons this year as well. They look just yours does...so it will be interesting to see how they turn out:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Do you keep your tree outside for the summer? It sure looks healthy,
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering just by looking at the lemons... I'm looking forward to all your wonderful lemon recipes (and pictures).
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they were early this year. I'd say the weather, but the tree is used to hot weather in the south. Maybe all the sunshine. We were rarely cloudy this year.
ReplyDeleteNice lemons there, Thomas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link for growing citrus in pots! Your previous fig link was very helpful! By having such resources, it helps me to keep things thriving - well, usually :-)
Reading about your Meyer lemons is my version of Internet porn...have to click...
ReplyDeleteThomas do I have a recipe for you: Shaker Lemon Pie. You thinly slice the lemons, rinds and macerate in sugar...and create a simple custard, and it just gets better with a double crust.
