Default Green lemons!

Thank-you both! Lol about the lime suggestion! ;.)

I will hold my nerve over the frost as long as I can & then try the
apple/bag/counter-top combi.

Good luck, but don't expect true ripening from the ethylene gas
produced by the apple in a bag idea. Sad truth is that some fruits
ripen after picking and some don't. Citrus doesn't, so your best bet
is to leave it on the tree just as long as you can. -aem
