Meyer Lemon

 
 
My Meyer Lemon from Logees in Danielson, Conn.  I bought this plant this spring.  It had a few small lemons on it which have since grown large enough to use.  I'm trying to decide what to make.  Maybe a Lemon Meringue Pie?!
 
 
    They recommend keeping it in an 8 inch pot.  I need to use a clay pot to keep it on the dry side.  There is nothing like the fragrance of the flowers in winter to keep you going till you can get back outside again.  I noticed that there was almost always a clump of flowers flowering all spring and their smell filled the room!  I put the plant outside for the summer, but I saw little new growth and most of the small lemons just fell off because of the heat.  Looks like this plant will not be going out next year.
