Lemmings!
You remember that well-known law?
Yes, that one.
Been looking for a fruiting lemon tree for a while now - a long while,
to take twigs and byds from to graft on to the tree I grew from a pip -
I don't want to have to wait twenty or thirty years for it to fruit, I'd
be ninety or a hubdred before I could have a cup of gunpowder, innit.
So, last week Spalding Bulbs' catalogue droops into my letterbox (it was
damp on the day), and in it is - you've guessed - a lemon tree. TAAAW, a
solanum with melon-flavoured fruits (allegedly) and some more
blueberries.
So, not wishing to miss the opportunity of getting sundry freebies and a
chance of a cordless drill thrown in, I ordered a pile of things and
sent off the cheque.
Today in Naaaardge, on a florist and nurserywossnames stall was a whole
troop of lemon trees. With lemons. LOTS of lemons.
Hooter and Klaxon!
Foghorns!
Steam-whistles and air-raid sirens!
Sorry, that's a Sheddi progression...
So, I have a fecund lemming tree, and more goodies on their way - soon,
I hope.
And another lemming.
