Anyway about 10 days later I could plainly see a couple of shoots in the hanging basket which would have been real beaut if they had been lemons, but they were tomato plants. About 2 weeks later up came a spud then eventually up came the 4 lemons (or at least I think they're lemons). Could you keep us updated on how the lemons go please Stuart? I've always been interested in whether seeds from the "not the normal garden seeds" work. Yes sure will. The lemons were given to me and I have never seen the tree they originated from but I will try and find out what variety they are. Otherwise not knowing the variety may make it a bit of a pointless exercise. If I can't find out the variety I will obtain some more seeds from a known variety and plant them also. I'm not sure if that is right given what Jackie French has to say on the subject which is partly why I'm interested. Basically she says that seeds aren't so different from the parent that it makes a lot of differnece - you should still get useable crops. We might be in for long term reporting on these wee lemons - can't imagine that they'll be bearing for years yet ;-)) |
