Hi kim I just order one 20 gallon smart pot for my tomatoes I'm going to order 3 later🍋🍋🍋🍋
The tea drink looks amazing, I will try that recipe, thank you
Drew did good on your Christmas present! It’s so beautiful seeing the herbs in the glass teapot. I need one! I’m focusing mainly on herbs and growing in containers this year . Unfortunately I’m moving but it’s for the better, I’m moving to our family’s property with 2 acres. This year my garden is going to be easy and I also just had foot surgery and my recovery time is 6months . It’s at 6wks so far.
Loved seeing your lemon harvest it was just amazing, and the tea looked amazing, thks for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing! If you plant the citrus trees in the large smart pots are they easy to move inside in winter? I have my trees in plastic pots and would love to use smart pots but worried it will be harder to move them. The plastic pots work with a dolly but do the smart pots?
Wow can't believe it's in smart pot. If I ever get lemons from my tree I will cry the day i get to harvest it. 🍋 omg I have to try and make that tea in the summer with the herbs from the garden. The colors look so refreshing.
ooooo I def need a bag of that Dr. Iron! I have a Costco bought Improved Meyer Lemon against my south backyard fence 5 years old. -4' tall but so abundant. I see many lemon trees in containers that are Christmas tree looking abundant! MAC alert! 🐶
hey Mac looks like he's doing well!
Gorgeous lemons!
