...the lemon tree. The new lemon tree is now planted in its pot. All being well there won't be any more really cold snaps now that both lemon and kumquat are potted up. They are at least sheltered from the predominant west wind. Next year I will wrap both up over the winter, and leave a little water going through the system whenever we're going to be away, whatever the season - I don't want to lose these.
The new kumquat had over 1.3 kg of ripe fruit on it - so today I've been able to make six pots of kumquat marmalade.
I've also begun adding summer colour here and there throughout the garden, having bought various annuals from the garden centre. I'll be back here again in a couple of weeks, by which time I think there will be the opportunity to put in more bedding plants.
