Fruits of my labor

I have enjoyed growing a lemon tree through the summer and was so excited when it started to produce real fruit! I am still learning about growing fruit trees and don't know all the tips but love that my variegated pink lemon tree made it so far. I just gave it sunshine and water. The outside is yellow with green stripes and the inside is pink.

It made 6 lemons

First one I cut open to see the pink inside.

Look at all the pretty slices


The slices looked so pretty in my Pink Crystal glasses I inherited from my grandmother.

Growing my lemon tree was one of my Personal Progress Projects for Young Women under the value of Knowledge. I had so much enjoyment watching and caring for my plant that I think I will add another fruit tree to my porch garden in the spring!
