Over the weekend I finally transferred a few …

Grow a lemon tree! I’m not sure what’s gotten into me lately but I have become obsessed with the idea of growing a lemon tree in my house. After weeks of researching a variety of citrus trees, I decided I needed a Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree. It is one of the hardiest and most productive …
