Oh no didn't think of that. I covered my Meyer lemon with net to stop mr possum eating the leaves. Have I also stopped the bees. Looks like I have to do a dress at night and undress in the morning

I think that would be a good idea otherwise no lemons for you. I have never had possum problems with my lemon tree. @Shephes

Maybe it's not possums but something is nibbling the leaves and I have scoured the plant for bugs or grubs. Not a thing. Neighbours have mature trees that have similar signs of munching. All high up. So we thought possums

Do you also get the gall wasp on your trees @sue1953. In melbourne it is a problem

Have not noticed any gall wasp @deekay

Mmmm ππ on toast

Is this the same to lemon curd, or just without the sugar ? π would be nice on a hot toast π

@juliesgarden me thinking the same ππ

@lamaisonbleueoleron it is the same

Good evening Sue, thank you I've made a very nice lemon curd cake, with fresh passionfruit in the centre with lemon curd mixed with mascarpone on three layer then lemon syrup on top layer with a little dusting of icing sugar ππ³π but don't mention this to @drnicko or he'll start throwing bananas at me π π

@lamaisonbleueoleron we make lemon butter for toast. It keeps very well in the fridge once opened. But we also make lemon curd for cheesecakes, fruit tarts and lemon meringue pie. πππππππ

I've start using preserve fresh lemons for fish dishes, a lemon chutney π now your making me fell peckish. I enjoy making lemon curd baked cheese cake with with half curd milk and ricotta cheese π it's less fat and also less sugar @drnicko ππ

Yum yum Its almost dinner time here your making me hungry π·π·π

Lots of #lemons on this Meyer #lemon tree #gyo #yellow

My Meyer lemon, that we planted last year, flowered beautifully last season but we didn't get one fruit. I tried a strict fertilizing regime but to no avail. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks

Dig all around the base, do not put fertiliser closer than 8" from stem. I started off only getting 1 or 2 then gradually more each year but once fully established I got more than I can use. I think you are doing everything right and I am sure it will come good @kittya

@sue1953 we call this #lime in Jamaica

#Advice_Citrus #Advice_Lemon

Thank you

@Jason this type of lemon would be too sweet to be classed as lime

Me too ππ @latebloomer

Really like lemon curd

Don't we call it " lemon butter " here in Qld?

@whitesusan I call it lemon butter in NSW
#meyerlemon #lemon #blossom #spring so many flowers the bees are loving it #beefriendly #gyo
Looks great @sue1953 my meyer is still too scared to put its new growth out cos we might get another blizzard in melbourne. The poor plants βοΈπ‘οΈπ¦οΈπ§οΈπ©οΈπ€οΈ
