Her disguise is to look like bird poop. So interesting! I am going to let her live on my Meyer Lemon tree. From what I’ve read, she will do minimal damage to the leaves. I’m rooting for her. Come back and visit when you are a butterfly!

Time to pick Lemons. Two citrus trees that I can recommend that you can easily grow in pots, are the Meyer Lemon and the Mexican Lime. I have had these for two years and had a great harvest both years. We did not eat any of them last year because I was advised not to due to the pesticides on newly purchased trees…but this year has been wonderful.

If you leave limes on the tree, they turn yellow. They taste so good!

Made some delicious meals with homegrown lemons, limes, red onions and lemongrass. Why do they call them red onions when they are certainly purple?
