I bought a nice lemon that I fancy the seeds to be planted. When the seedlings appear, I would choose maybe 2 or 3 for potting. I know that lemon plant from the seed takes a longer time to bear fruits unlike the marcotted plant. This is another challenge and a sort of experiment.

In a week there will be something from the ground. I have one plant from a seed in the front yard.

The seedlings should be sprouting in a week or 2 and when there is nothing on the 3rd week then nothing, waheehee.

The lemon here is tropical but I think there is a variety that grows in a cool climate.

Thank you. Although people say I have the proverbial green thumb, I don't subscribe to it. My take is if you love plants then plants would love you back.

@Alexandoy I do not know but it seems it doesn't apply to me. I love them but they do not grow well on my care.

@TheHorse nice timing. That would be good for the seeds.

The seeds can be planted right away but for me, it is better to be dried for a better effect in germination.

@Alexandoy I will put them in a bowl on my counter for a month or so. By the time I plant them, Spring will be here.

Trees grown from seeds take at least five years to bear fruits.
