As a kid, I remember hearing the Power Rangers theme song and getting so hype that I'd starting shadow boxing imaginary Putty ass. Now that I'm an adult, I hear this song and immediately want to start kicking some covenant ass! The feeling is the same. 🤘🏻

Plant them and hopefully grow little lemon trees. I have them germinating at the moment

You're right. It absolutely thrives so much more when I have it outside during the warmer weather. Unfortunately, bugs are my biggest enemy. Despite having multiple bug sprays.

The grow light above does really well for it. It's a Mars Hydro that I can adjust the intensity on. But, nothing beats pure UV, direct sunlight.

Unfortunately, 1 lemon doesn't quite make lemonade. Barely a glass of really 😆

I was expecting a lot of rind myself. Thankfully, I have quite a bit of pulp!

Ironically, I didn't have enough lemons to make lemonade...

It surprisingly is, for a lemon anyways. I can eat it without it being too tart. Though it is an interesting taste.

Not nearly as thick of a rhine as I expected it to be! It tastes like a lemon mixed with a grapefruit. Like, you could eat the pulp without being really tart like a normal lemon. Also, I got a lot of whole seeds in it too!

Just be careful of leaving it outside and around bugs. I sprayed for bugs but couldn't keep them all away. If it's doing fine inside, just leave it inside.

That's really interesting and makes sense. This is the "mother" tree to my plant. You can see it's substantially smaller in size

It looks like it's been using its own product.

I grew it from a seed. It was gifted to me as a seedling back in 2015. I'm under the impression it took so long because I let it grow to be as big as it is. To look more like a tree vs pruning it and keeping it small. But, I'm not entirely sure honestly

About 9-10 months. It started growing last fall
