how wonderful, they ok delious .
That is so great to have all of that right in your backyard. I planted a few trees last year but I"m not sure if any will grow. Lucky for me, I know other people that have trees of all sorts and are always wanting to give away fruit. I picked 15 gallons of lemons this weekend from someone who lives down the road. I didn't even put a dent in his trees. So, I may go back this weekend. He just wants the lemons GONE.
I used to have a nice sized Meyer lemon tree. I used to juice them and make ice cub size frozen servings. I learned uses of lemons from my grandmother.
She would put a cup of lemons in her rinse water. When she hung sheets out to dry, the acid bleach the sheets and made them smell good. Used to polish brass & copper, and mixed with baking soda as a cleaning solution. Warm lemon and huney for a cold and add a little bourbon to kick it up a notch.
My Gand mothers were 100% against the evil spirits! but kept a Medicean bottle with bourbon or wiskey in it in the Medicean cabnet. I hated the stuff, as a little kid she would give it to me when I was sick.But I seem to have a dim idea I slept perty good after juice glass of lemons, honey and bourbon.
At lest I think it was bourbon. She probably used only half a shot, it put me off most liquor, right down to this very day. It was also used for teething.
1916: (In my mothers baby book a cocaine based substance is advertised for teething babies, and also something for colic. I have a feeling cocaine worked nicely)
Thank you for that tip. I will try that.
LOL
