How to make lemons out of winter rains 🌧️
🍋 If you haven’t already – now is the time to harvest all of your citrus fruits in your garden. We mean ALL of it! This is a time of rest and recovery even for evergreen champions like this Meyer Lemon Tree.
❤️🩹Give your tree a hearty feeding so they can prepare for the next growing season. Measure the widest point of your tree’s trunk to find out how much fertilizer it needs. This potted Meyer Lemon looks small but has a 1 inch diameter trunk meaning it will get 1 cup of Down to Earth fertilizer quarterly.
🌿 remove any debris, pests 🐌 and unhealthy branches to make way for fresh growth. Your tree may look a little less jubilant after harvesting and clearing up but rest assured it won’t be long until it’s bursting with spring blooms and new green leaves!
🍋 don’t forget to make the most of your home grown goods! We are thinking limoncello or maybe preserved lemons…any other culinary suggestions to make the most of our zesty bounty?
