Some people are adept at buying lemons. We grow our own. When Dot retired, her parting gift was a couple of large terracotta tubs and we wondered for a while what to put in them. They adorn our westerly patio and get a fair bit of sun, so we hit on the idea of planting lemon trees.
Although the pots are large by garden standards, they have still bonzied the roots and the trees are only growing slowly. However, we're just in the process of harvesting the first quite impressive crop as the photo shows. Having picked and used several lemons already, I'm surprised how large and juicy they were - much better than those found in the supermarkets.
