My Lemon Trees

At the beginning of this summer, my younger friend Courtney & I decided to go to the store.. buy organic lemons.. make delicious lemonade.. and one more step.. grow lemon trees!!! :)
The process is really quite simple. First you need to make sure you have the correct soil- it's a mulchy type of soil- you can find out the right type online if you search on how to grow a lemon tree from a seed.. but basically you are supposed to plant the seed right away.. that means as soon as you take it out of the lemon.. you are supposed to plant it.. but because of the sweet sour flavors the lemon has, you are actually supposed to suck on the seed for a while- and then remove it from your mouth and plant it right into the soil. :)
It takes a little while for a sprout to come up..mine came up within 2 weeks!! Now it's been about 3 months and this beautiful lemon tree has blossomed! :) It's getting too cold out now to leave it outside (I saw a dead leaf fall from it) so I need to bring it in for the Fall/Winter/ & most of Spring time. It's going to be it's first non-summer months ever.. so hopefully it'll last in the house.
I have two large lemon trees growing and the tiny sprout one!!! :)
