The trees I've started from seed seem to take a long, long time. Most likely, growers have a freer hand with fertilizer than I do. One of the great things about growing your own lemons is knowing that it's safe to eat their grated peels, free of wax and chemicals.<br />Tree Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316406189138157909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844475919675784308.post-19846028080941235872013-09-10T21:49:18.959-04:002013-09-10T21:49:18.959-04:00nice to know you have success with potted lemon tr...nice to know you have success with potted lemon trees.

Not much is known yet about its habits, but it is even more destructive than the Japanese beetle. Check the Ct Agricultural Experiment Station (www.ct.gov/caes) for more info if you see your leaves disappearing.<br />Tree Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316406189138157909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844475919675784308.post-39922594549430143172013-09-10T09:29:42.517-04:002013-09-10T09:29:42.517-04:00I love my Rose Mallow!

Moles, Japanese beetles have their fun but the Rose Mallow goes on producing dessert plate blooms. Cold, heavy snow, drought, no problem! Have I mentioned neglect? The only attention it receives is my admiring glance. BTW, it has gorgeous seed pods. I am sorry to say that does not self sow.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03281992191127498445noreply@blogger.com
