There are so many lemon trees here in Los Angles area. We have a meyer in our yard and use the fruit alot. However, the flavor is sweeter than a regular lemon, so when I need more than I care to buy, I go to my neighbors and ask to pick some of thiers. I never had one say no (helps when they know they will get a sampling of whatever I need the lemons for
)
I started growing herbs and vegetables when my youngest boy told me he wanted to be a vegetable farmer. This encouraged me to start a small garden of veggies and herbs. Dang if it doesn't get into your blood. The first patch I grew was about 3 x 5 feet. I am this week starting to cultivate a patch that is 15 x 20 and another for corn that is 10 x 15.
The nice thing about growing alot of herbs is you can pass on dried herbs to family and friends.
