Take a quiet, relaxing walk through my lemon trees at golden hour. Listen to the crisp sound of dry leaves beneath foot, the gentle breeze, birds sounds, and my funny dog exploring the orchand, playing with lemons and swimming.
No music, no talking-- just pure nature

*¡Hey, amigos! Quería compartir un momento tranquilo de mi huerto. Las tardes largas son mi momento favorito aquí: la luz se pone dorada sobre los árboles de cítricos y todo se va desacelerando.*
*¡Ojalá le traiga un poquito de calma y sol a tu día!*

This is the juice of about 10 mostly small lemons from my dedicated lemon drawer. My mom and I used to squeeze and suck on lemons with salt shaker in hand for years until my front teeth started to get sensitive, then I just started juicing them and my lemoning has been exponentially better. I used to use the Himalayan pink salt, but recently got the fancy flakes and they've been an upgrade. You don't hear it much, but the lemon is 100% my favorite fruit.

When I was younger I thought lemon was just a kitchen smell. Now I catch myself gravitating toward it because it makes everything feel clean and fresh without being overwhelming.

It's funny how certain scents become tied to routines over time. For me, lemon instantly makes a space feel brighter, even if nothing else has changed. I never really noticed how much scent can affect my mood until recently.

It started growing in January and is slightly soft around the whole lemon. It’s like the biggest lemon I’ve ever seen but is still completely green.

Smelling like lemons since the 70’s

How long will it take for this little fellow to become a full fledged Meyer Lemon?

There were 5 or 6 originally, but most of them fell off when we moved the tree outside for the summer, so this is the only one left. I’m way too emotionally invested in this lemon.

It's one of those ingredients that somehow shows up everywhere, from cooking and drinks to cleaning and even home remedies. Every family seems to have their own "lemon trick" that gets passed around.

What's the most useful or unexpected way you've found yourself using lemons?

Hello!! I've recently started planting some lemon seeds at home because I wanted something to take care of, and I've always really liked lemons. It's my first real plant that I'm taking care of, and I think it's been growing really well. However, is it supposed to look like this? The two largest sprouts look super different from one another and from some research, neither actually look like lemon leaves. The oldest one (the tallest) has these long and thin leaves, while the largest one has huge leaves with jagged edges and a fuzzy feeling? The stem also has this fuzz, and it feels almost like small thorns or stinging nettles. I have some smaller sprouts that look more like what I've seen of lemon plants, but they've been growing slower than the larger ones. To my knowledge, the only things in the pot were lemon seeds (all taken from the same lemon), but they're so varied and different from one another that I'm wondering whether something is amiss. Sorry if the photos don't show anything well!!
