Can I interest anyone in a lemon??

My new secateurs got a work out today.

Started the transformation of my lemon tree into a manageable standard shape. It is not high which made it a lot easier. Trimmed all the under branches off and as you can see from the container in front, it had heaps of lemons on it.


When I first moved in, it looked quite sick and all the fruit was so so. It is amazing what a good feed and a drink can do - mmm must be a male lemon tree!!

So Kelly and I retired to the trampoline and counted all the lemons. We got 123. Would have been 124 but as I was the heaviest one on the tramp, they kept rolling towards me and I sat on one. Ended up with a very juicy butt cheek!! Kelly thought it was hilarious.

So what to do with 123 lemons??? Well my old reliable drink that I keep coming back to is Southern Comfort and coke with a slice of lemon to take away that ohhhh so sweet taste...mmmm - and I always enjoy one or two with my old mate Rob in QLD!! Maybe a Southern Comfort/Jim Beam with lemon housewarming party could be the go!! With the mandatory BBQ of course. Anyone interested?
