LEMONS and LEMONADES

Something lemony was required for CWA morning tea

 

 

so a batch of Lemonies were whipped up.

Quick and easy and oh so lemony, they were a hit.

Recipe

 

 

I knew I was taking a risk letting my little Lemonade tree bear fruit and when I noticed the poor thin little branch starting to split I hurriedly cut off all the fruit, new flowers and tiny fruit buds.

 

This is the harvest.

 

 

 Big, fat  Lemonades A little larger than lemons and very full of juice.

 

 

They turn yellow when ready but I couldn't wait any longer and risk too much damage to the tree.

I pruned the branches right back and gave the poor little thing a good hit of fertilizer and I promise to remove any flowers till it is a lot bigger and sturdier.

They are such prolific little trees with what seems like a constant supply of flowers and fruit.

 

Anyhow the fruit , though not fully mature, are very juicy and quite sweet and lemony

 

and the temperature hit 28C degrees so it was time for a cocktail.

 

Helsie's Downfall    to be exact !

  

 

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

 

 

Cheers.
