Lemon Tree update

My lemon tree still hasn't produced any flowers, but it's shooting off new leaves by the handfull.
I expect it to grow another foot or two this year and possibly be ready to plant in the ground. I'll have to ask my neighbor if it's ok to plant it between the driveways. It would be a perfect place to plant it. I would just have to remember to water it every day and protect it during the winter so it doesn't die.... :(
One day my tree will look like this. (Hopefully)



I'm really good at killing plants. I just don't water them for years and by the time I look at them again they're pretty much gonners. Except for the aloe, it hung on for years and I finally started to water it again. I don't really want it I just feel sorry for the poor thing.

Key Lime Sprouts

I finally realized afte talking to a friend that I didn't have a single picture of my little key lime sprouts (I count eleven of them in the picture). Some of them need transplanting, well all of them really in the next week or so. They really are doing quite well for what I expected to come up.

Bean Plant (Lazy Housewife)

No, I'm not calling my wife lazy. She works very hard at quite a lot of things. That's just the variety of bean that's being grown.


I took some of the thinner bamboo pieces we procured for our, ok my, fence project and tied the top with honeysuckle vine, no need to waste any storebought twine or string. Then I unwraped the bean plants from eachother and wrapped it around the bamboo.


It has grown nearly to the top since this picture but it is dark out and I don't want to leave the chair. There are now many flowers on it which I will of course have to take more pictures of and post.

Rain

I haven't been able to do a lot of photography outside in the garden since it's been raining a lot, at least when I've been home. I did get to go out and make a teepee for my bean plant quickly between raindrops. It really needed since it was trying to make one out of itself, actually about 7 plants in a little pot, fertilizer is a must here.
Pictures to come soon and hopefully pictures of veggies and produce!
