Lemons

Wow! Already 2017 is here! Where has the time gone?!? We have been so busy around here with Christmas and the kids being out of school and the new year and this incredible crazy weather. It was winter for about three days - got down in the 20s actually! Then it went back to summer and has been in the mid-80s most days for the past couple weeks.

I've got my Best of 2016 blog stats prepped and ready to go, just haven't been able to make time to write it up! My company has been booming with business of late - which is great, but doesn't give me much time for all the other things I enjoy. So as soon as I get time for a breath, I'll be back writing up a storm here on the blog and showing you all the awesome things we've got going on here. It is tator planting time, you know!

Until then I just wanted to share this photo of one of our meyer lemons. We have harvested five that were on the little sapling and there is one more still ripening. I protected the tree and the one lemon from any frost by covering the cage around the tree with a sheet on those three nights of temps in the low 30's / upper 20's. Although a mature meyer lemon tree can withstand temperatures of 22 degrees Fahrenheit.

Isn't it a beauty?! Oh my goodness and they smell and TASTE so delicious!

Enjoy your new year and check back soon for new posts! ~Ramsey
