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!
guess what….this week i have 6 teeny tiny sprouts popping up!
i will keep you posted on the process but for now i am pretty excited that my patience made it worth the wait!
happy wednesday :)
I did the same with Apples seeds and I have three beautiful apple trees and I am sooo happy!! Enjoy the growing, it is fun to see them blossom every year!!
