This is my lemon tree that I was given as a birthday present from my daughter and son in law in Spain.
It arrived with five very green lemons on it. I have watered and watched, and at last, I think two of the lemons are about ready for eating.

So I moved it's position further into the room so that it would be slightly warmer. Mmmm perhaps I did water it a bit much. Well hopefully we won't have to worry about this sort of thing when we have lemons and oranges outside our back door in P…
