EIGHT BLOOMS on one little branch! My goodness! Aren’t we the little hussy of a Meyer Lemon! I mean 3 blooms the first time was exciting. Now it has 8 blooms!!! Apparently it felt comfortable with my pollination services to go nuts! HAHAHA…. I did the little deed for it all again, we’ll see how many actually turn into lemonlings…

In the meanwhile, my first attempts are doing well! Two nice little lemons are growing! And they really look like little lemons now! So cool… My one plant is definately got breeding on the mind, whereas the other is simply interested in really putting on the green growth and leaves. No blooms. I wonder if there are variations in sex with these plants. I need to do a little more reading. Could I have a male and a female plant? Hmmmm….

Well, I’m super excited because I have read that Meyer Lemons are a little hard to raise and keep healthy. I know that leaving my little babies outside all last summer really gave them a super good growth spurt and hopefully that energy is what they are drawing on now in the dark and dingy Ohio winter. I have them in a nice bright window, but it’s still pretty dark in here a lot. I know JUST the window they are going to be in at the farm…. my office faces the morning sun and I think it would be so neat to have them on my new desk space!

And of course, outside during the summer! If I can find a safe place from the chickens and sheepies for them!
