[@GreenthumbsGarden]

Awesome Badge, great to hear from you. Looking forward to catching up soon. Check discord you rascal 😅

[@The-Great-Badge]

Yes sir. My children use my iPad now, which is where my discord is...lol. so it can be hard for me to find it...haha. talk soon.

[@SandySands-mn7tk]

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

[@rbizzle9986]

Love giving us an opportunity to purchase seed packs from you!

[@muffintopz4692]

I love lemon anything. 🍋

[@juliekitching9033]

yummy 😋 lv lemon s especially kumquats keep up the good work thanks alex x

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

Thanks! 😅 Kumquats are brilliant, I have one I rescued and it's just coming back.

[@schmittyschmit4599]

I live in Central Florida and picked this up at Walmart thinking it was a regular lemon tree. The picture on the tag was very misleading as it looked like a traditional lemon! But I'm glad that it's going to be a unique addition to my garden 😊. I put lemon on everything and I love making homemade lemonade with some mint leaves, and a touch of Monk fruit sweetener or stevia extract

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

Oh nice find!! unless they have a pic of the lemon next to something for scale, then it would just look like a lemon...lol, very misleading! but a great find!

[@whitmyer33]

Hi, how can I get these seeds?

[@dollyalexx]

Nice video,i never knew there's a limón this is bigg wow thanks for sharing 😍☺️

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

You're welcome, glad you enjoy the content @dollyalexx 😀 Happy growing!! 🌱

[@perrolocoyt]

My old primary school has those but they are still growing because its spring rn

[@JustinDOehlke]

That sour face, lol

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

🤣 wasn't expecting it to be so sour 😅

[@alanikeiser]

Hahah I’m watching this at 2am and I laughed so hard when you tasted it 😅

[@abdulazizalmansoori5675]

It is very famous in the Middle East, some people eat it with a pinch of salt, and others with some spices

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

nice! any recipes you can share? would be great to try a few next time if I ever get some more.

[@abdulazizalmansoori5675]

@@GreenthumbsGarden There are a lot of ways: You can peel the outer yellow layer, and cut it into pieces (the white and the heart) You can eat them with a little salt (or sugar). You can make refreshing juice with sugar and mint (you can with or without the white layer) We are waiting for you to film your experience again

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

Thanks Abdulaziz, will do for sure... once I get one of these fruits again :-)

[@sohansinghkesarwalia5509]

We use it to make pickle ,i have 25 pieces of this fruit ,in state punjab of india

[@sohansinghkesarwalia5509]

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

i want to see how big the branch has to be to hold the weight lol. great video as always

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

😅 Exactly what I said to my friend that brought me the fruit. Hopefully one day I get to see a tree.

[@Garret-nd6px]

Wow, that is a big one. It'd be nice to have lemonade with that there too have If you had a miracle berry it will taste like lemonade sweet

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

That would be cool!

[@huh-64]

Ad some honey or hot chili😋

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

Sounds a great idea!

[@shaggyrandy1264]

Wish I livd in Maryland, here in Illinois I found a trick for trimmin the thorns. A hole punch. It’ll remove the tip or it’all. Spain seems great!

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

Spain is a beautiful country with a nice traditional lifestyle with old values.

[@user-yx7dp2pl8t]

hahaha this one was so funny

[@AndreaAgosta-pp6in]

The white part called albedo could be eaten

[@XbRS8.0]

I didn't know what these were lol i moved to a house with this tree already planted. There's tons of them already on the tree. Also, oranges growing from the same tree. California btw

[@karenaskenaze5298]

We have one too and it has grafted on to the orange tree next to it as well. In our opinion the fruit doesn't really taste like lemon...too bitter.

[@N0bull]

3:29 I hope you didn’t get sick sniffing so close to the mold spores 😬

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

😅 I'm from Yorkshire, we made of the right stuff there... Little mold ain't taking me down pal 🤣🤣

[@vintage1950]

They have these in Wisley. They are massive.

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

awesome!! they spectacular!

[@aholegardener6191]

Don’t forget about the lemon called 9 pound lemon

[@KendineYetenYuva]

Did seeds germinate 🤔 I wonder?

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

They did! They about 20cm tall now.

[@ALSTON3724]

Hello mate. I couldn't see the link for those ponderosa lemon seeds?

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

Hi there, will be putting some I'm the shop soon, tomorrow! Check back in the description or follow me on twitter, I'll announce it there 😊

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

seed now available, link in the description. 😄

[@monkeymagic6744]

Hello, you should have soaked the seads and removed the outer membrain to speed up germination...

[@dcharrison]

Hi do you sell seeds?

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

I'll have a few limited seed packets available in my Kofi shop tomorrow. There will not be many, as they the only ones I got from this lemon. I'll notify on my twitter when they available and link will be in the description 🙂

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

seed now available, link in the description. 😄

[@alanikeiser]

I wonder if this is what I have in my garden. The skin is sweet-smelling, but veeeerrry sour flesh inside. Some say inedible. But it’s not as it as the ponderosa (in South Africa)

[@Linguae_Music]

Uhm, if a fruit is modly you shouldnt eat any part of it... The compounds from the mycellium will propogate through the rest of the fruit by brownian diffusion.

[@Linguae_Music]

Granted, its just a penicillium, so it's probably fine!
