Citrus in the Home Garden: Growing Meyer Lemons in Pots, Making Preserved Lemons.

[@Julzfowlacrz]

Hi Angela! Love your posts! I’m in Eastern Oregon. Creating my permaculture garden/forest for second year now. Lots to learn

[@PegsGarden]

Hi Angela, yes please share more recipes 🌸🌺💐

I grow Meyer lemon in garden but I grow against my house in ground I used old fashion Xmas light bulb And I use frost cloth when deep below temp

[@sandrabrown4993]

If I make this with regular lemons (not Meyer) will it be as good and as versatile?

[@13ccasto]

Great info, thank you! Do you know how long the ripe fruit can stay on the tree?

I’m trying to find the best soil to use for citrus trees. I bought vigoro potting mix, pumice and lava rocks to mix in with it. What else would you recommend me adding in? I’m currently looking on Amazon for sand that works for citrus but I’m not sure what would work best. Any recommendations?

Will a greenhouse keep them warm enough all winter?

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

yes :)

[@mlissawetherell2382]

How do they heat the greenhouse?

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

They use a space heater when the greenhouse itself gets below 45F or so, b/c they grow some really delicate plants they brought with them from Florida.

Do you ever root-prune and re-pot? I've never grown citrus in pots. I miss fresh lemons so much...

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

Yes, this has been potted up. :)
