Spike: what do those little orange lemons taste like in comparison to the yellow ones?

They grow to a round tennis ball size and taste the same, perhaps slightly sweeter, with a thin skin. Whereas our other ‘local’ lemons grow to 5-6″ with thick skins.

Our lemon trees are looking pretty promising. I’m a bit excited. I’ve always begrudged buying lemons (even back in Oz). As a kid we always had lemon trees growing in our garden and always had an abundance of lemons when needed. Here – we seriously go through a kilo every two days!

We also freeze down 10 litres of lemon juice for use between the winter and summer crops (in 500ml water bottles – defrost and use from the fridge works wonders, and then never have to pay stoopid money to buy them out of season 🙂

Good idea! Limons were up to 8TL a kilo here a month or two back. I was quite shocked but I guess like maydanoz they are wanted all year round.

Yep, hence our action. Really peeved to pay that much when we have our own trees.
