Lemon Harvest and Walking Stick Photos

You might remember that my first Pacific Northwest grown lemon harvest had not exactly a stellar outcome and resulted in one rudimentary dime sized lemon. This time I carefully coddled the lemon tree, protecting it from the chilly winter by keeping it inside in my office and giving it plenty of outdoor sunlight when the weather permitted.

It resulted in one excellent lemon. Very tasty and not too tart with some subtle fragrances and flavors that you don’t find in most store bought lemons.

I have transplanted the tree into a bigger pot and I hope next season to get a better harvest.

I have both my lemon and lime trees outside right now next to the heather flowers. After watering them this morning I found a stick bug walking along the lime tree branch.

I thought this was an interesting looking bug.

Sometimes called a walking stick or other odd names.

I like the way these bugs blend into the surroundings.

I’ve read that a lot of other bugs like to eat them so looking like a stick helps protect them.

I doubt the stick bug will harm the lemon or lime trees much so beside taking its picture I left it alone.
