Lemon Tree Files update.

So, the lemon tree is growing quite nicely. The second shoot/seedling that sprouted right next to the first is growing at a slower rate. It seems that the older, taller lemon tree plant is absorbing more of the nutrients and sun than the other. That's okay, though. 

What I find interesting about this project is seeing the daily changes which the lemon tree plant takes. Of course, I'm already thinking "come on, grow, grow, grow!" However, as the old adage says, "patience is a virtue", and so, I must have the patience, knowing that perseverance produces proven character, and proven character, HOPE!  

Video updates will be posted within a few days.

Growing Lemon trees from Seed

Well, this is my first post on this subject.

To start, my wife decided to do this little experiment. And so far so good.

After purchasing lemons from our local grocery store, the seeds were thorougly washed and allowed to dry for about an hour or so. The soil was watered almost every day for about a month, ensuring not to overwater the soil.

About a week ago the first seedling sprouted. Now the tender shoot is about two inches tall and growing.

Just yesterday, I noticed a second seedling beginning to grow near the first. Debating on what to do with that one.

Decision, decisions!

Pictures are forthcoming.
