Live posting the State Of The Garden. Fellow citizens, it is lemon/lime season. For some reason, there are more lemons in Southern California backyards than anyone eats. The only solution is to make lemonade! 1/x

The pineapple, as usual, is extremely confused by why it is growing in such a cold climate, and insists it be returned to Hawaii. Only one other pineapple top is currently also surviving this atrocity. #gardening

In the aquaculture buckets, the goldfish are happy to have lots of duckweed, finally, as temperatures are again warm enough for duckweed to expand. #StateOfTheGarden

For once, the barbarians at our gates -- the mint--no longer has smothered all other plants in the aquaponics beds. #StateOfTheGarden

The blood oranges I am growing for the squirrels look great! Too bad my chance of harvesting any is slim (grrrrr)

@ai6yr We go through salt-preserved lemon at a pretty steady pace. Mince and add to a grilled cheese sandwich along with smoked paprika. Use as a condiment with rice and lentils. Sprinkle on scrambled eggs with mozzarella. Use as a garnish for hearty soups. Add to vinaigrette salad dressing. Serve thinly sliced with cantaloupe and a small wedge of Stilton.

@VisualStuart @ai6yr you’d be *shocked* at how much lemon a single tree can produce. We don’t use much, but I have a sign in front of my tree inviting anyone to take what they want… and still we have more than we can use. 2/3 of the tree is picked clean (the remaining grows over a wall into our fenced-in back yard, where neighbors are unlikely to go even with that invitation) and we still have more lemons than my family, extended family, and any friends who come visit can seem to eat. I eventually have to go through and clean the tree because I’ve got lemons rotting on the branch.
Meyer lemon trees are like a monkey’s paw wish for a tree with more lemons.

@FaithinBones @VisualStuart @ai6yr It's a good idea if you use a lot of lemon juice, but that requires taking time to juice the fruits. Unfortunately, free time is something I really don't have much of.
I have a calamansi that also produces tons and tons of fruit... any free time I have for juicing I spend juicing those. Calamansi juice (simple lemonade recipe, but sub lemon juice with calamansi juice) is a special kind of amazing, and tastes way better than any lemonade has ever been. When I do have time to pick, juice, and freeze fruit juice, I do that one.

@ai6yr have you tried netting them? I had some success keeping the tree rats out of our maters with them
