Lemon (falsetto voice)

After years and years of trying we finally have our first crop of lemons. It seems ridiculous considering every garden in the country probably has a lemon tree loaded with fruit at the moment and double ridiculous considering how many other fruit trees we have but moment is no less majestic. This little guy is a Dwarf Lisbon growing in a .5 meter high planter box and seems all the better for being a bit higher up. All the citrus I've planted at ground level have turned yellow and died, which I now conclude is due to having wet feet. Everything is better when its grown in a box.
