This picture is such a realistic example of how plants can thrive, in a healthy way, inside a greenhouse. There is a practical side to greenhouses, but also, such a fun, fulfilling side as well. The lemon on the left is purchased from a grocery store. The lemon on the right, I picked from my greenhouse this morning with a few honey bees buzzing about. No chemicals or pesticides were used on mine other than diluted lavender in a spray bottle.
My sweet mom gifted me a dwarf Meyer's lemon tree a few years ago. It is one of my most cherished plants. If you care for these little gems properly, they can yield loads of fruit in just a couple of years. In the meantime, the foliage and the fragrant blooms make it worth the wait.
I keep mine in a large container inside my greenhouse and make sure that the soil can drain well. It's an easy plant to care for, and they make for a fun harvest.
Mine is loaded with baby lemons right now. I'll soon be asking me to send all the lemon recipes!
