Yesterday, took delivery of a rather nice stout coffin of a box from
Spalding B & S. In it was a small lemon tree - smaller than I'd
anticipated, and without any of the lemons I was expecting from the
catalogue illustration. (Yes, after I placed the order I bought two
lemon trees from a stallholder in Norwich, one with a basket full of
lemons, and the other, smaller one, with a few small ones. OK,
Spalding's offering wasn't dear, but the smaller one with lemons was
cheaper...).

Potted the lemon on in a slightly larger pot, with citrus compost. It
now graces the bathroom windowsill. I was expecting the compost to be
gritty, but it was very much like peat.

Our Citrus trees went outside against their S. facing wall today and will
only go back inside if there is a frost forecast.

Mine are staying out too - FTTB.

There'll be a greenhouse soon.

I've been telling myself that all winter, but it's too lazy to get up
and build itself.
