That’s gorgeous! I’ve been collecting seeds and I’ve been working on constructing a flower bed for bees and butterflies

Thank you! What zone are you in? I’m in 8B. I have a Meyer lemon tree and I love it!

Gorgeous! My hummingbird garden is an awkward corner next to the ugly garage. Didn't know what else to do with it, so turned it into a mostly shade perennials garden.

I’ll tell you my county. I’m carteret county NC (please don’t censor I don’t mind sharing merely because it will be impossible to find me if someone wanted to). I think I’m 9ish? My meyer lemon I dragged inside, idk why because they can survive freezes easily. I probably should just leave it outside. I’ve got loads of cuttings from it and they’ve all rooted. 100% propagation. 4 meyers and 6 limes. Everyone says I have the green thumb but idk

Meyer lemons taste SO AMAZING. Sour yet sweet. I may be weird but I eat entire lemons. It makes AMAZING lemonade and tastes amazing with tea!!

Great use of space! What all do you have planted?

@Melodychick & @rosemarythyme - you both have beautiful flower gardens! I'm working on making one like that.

My Meyer lemon is planted on the south side of my house. It is 12-15 years old. I kept it in a large pot the first 4 years and moved it in and out of my barn in the winter. I keep it pruned to about 5-6’ tall and wide. I get over 200 lemons each year. We don’t have snow often, but it doesn’t miss a beat when we do

Snow? Makes me shiver! Just got through a terrible winter!
