Hi, does anyone please know how I can tell when the lemons on my

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat...


Rustic, have you never heard about citrus jam and limoncello?
Lemon is neither sweet nor poor.
It is very ...rich in vitamines.
