lemon plant!

4.17.13

so about 6 weeks ago, i decided to try to grow a lemon plant.  i realize that to actually get a tree would take forevvvvver, but i thought i would go for a plant, since i just don’t have enough in my house as it is!!  (being sarcastic!)

i bought a bunch of lemons and cut them up.

it is a time consuming job, but i picked out all the seeds i could find.  i figured it would be better to have more than less, in hopes of something sprouting!

i soaked the seeds overnight.  they had a clear, filmy covering, so the soaking helped remove the skin.

i planted probably 20-25 seeds.  put the pot in the sun and waited.  watered.  waited.  watered.  and waited.  i thought about dumping it and trying something else, but didn’t!
