March 2018 – Meyer Lemon

I think this tree really likes to bear heavily every other year for us. Some years it produces monster harvests and other years are like this one. That, or being absentminded has downsides when it comes to this plant. I have been battling spider mites on it with neem oil, but honestly the neem doesn’t seem to be doing much so I might try some highly diluted Dr. Bronners (aka cheap phosphate fatty acid soap). What it really wants is to be outside on the porch, but we keep having crazy weather (more snow! high winds!) so for now it is here inside.
