BF and I just bought a house finally after 3+ months and 3 other offers fell through, we got keys a week and a half ago and have been slowly moving boxes up there in the car every day or so before our big move with a U-Haul this Saturday. The house is great- and the yard is awesome! We have a lemon tree, orange tree, tangerine tree, and some kind of apple tree!
Here are a few pics of the yard- a storm channel is behind us, with a park behind that, so it's pretty quiet, except for the hummingbirds who hang around and yell at each other..
Left is a flowery tree, looks like hibiscus flowers, I didn't know they grew on a tree though (i need to learn about plants!!); tangerine tree; apple tree; lemon tree on the way right.
And the lemon tree again (bottom half of it anyway), on the side of the garage :
And me holding a lemon:
The lemon tree is a Eureka lemon tree, our friend who lives close to the new house has one too, it apparently produces lemons all the time, and they are BIG. Like grapefruit size.
So the purpose of this post is to ask- what do I do with all these lemons??
And in the winter, what do I do with the oranges and tangerines? The orange tree is massive and has tons of small green fruits on it already. But right now I am concerned with lemons. Everyday there are some on the ground, we don't even have to pick them!
I know lemonade, lemon bars, adding lemon juice to laundry, but what else? Ideas please!!
