If you remember my post about the 3 lemon seedlings, in the picture is one of them and it is already a sapling. It will be delivered to a colleague of my wife in the office as per the request. That is actually the 2nd sapling that we gave away. We still have 2 here, anyone?

@Alexandoy It's growing up well, you should place in a bigger container now.

@LadyDuck my instruction to the recipient of that seedling is to transplant it to a bigger pot. The roots will be growing fast.

That lemon tree sure does look healthy! Hopefully it will produce delicious and abundant lemons.

@DianneN waheehee, the lemon plant is the favorite of moths to lay their eggs on... that will turn into larva to eat the young leaves.

@amitkokiladitya that is true. I just share what is in excess here like the fruits that I harvest and sometimes even the food that we cook.

Onions grow fast after the first green thing comes up.

@Alexandoy Yes. How is a new onion supposed to be formed?

@piyushbhatia1 the onion is a root crop. The root will form a round object that will grow to be the new onion. The leaves that we call spring onion will bear flowers and produce seeds for planting.

Wow, that will be a good plant for my backyard! If only we live nearby each other, I can take one.

I think I will be sending a seedling to one member here, she is intent in her desire. She lives in the metro so it is covered by courier delivery.

You could plant one for me. Gets too cold here for them outside.

Citrus plants struggle in cold places. But they like the moderate cool temperature.
