My #meyerlemons are ready…just a few days before I have to go back to work of course 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not making treats, we have enough…can’t do #lemoncurd because I’m told it’s not always safe to water bath can it…so instead it’ll be a lemon raspberry #marmalade I think.

The final limited-run #cider of 2022 from #PortlandCiderCompany is out: Lemon Drop Cider. Inspired by lemon drop cocktail—or perhaps lemon drop candy—it’s crafted with #MeyerLemons and elderflower petals.

So… Meyer Lemons…
Y’all been keeping these secret?
Why has no one told me about these bright and beautiful things?
#MeyerLemons

Big lemon check in. We're about a month into the garage greenhouse; weather outside is definitely cold, with nighttime temps in the 20s, and humidity dropping fast now.

And yet, the lemon seems to be flourishing. Lots of new blooms and the leaves are still attached, looking healthy. I've been trying to keep the temp and humidity both above 40.

My next challenge is to pollinate all those blooms with a roughed up Q-tip.

Phoebe and Pearl inspect the tillage job in the #MeyerLemons . We rarely break the soil surface, but with rain coming we will spend the next two days prepping and broadcasting #covercrop seed where appropriate for the orchard.
