I never knew you could freeze them whole. That will render juice when thawed? I tell ya what got me going on this. My GF has an Improved Meyer Lemon growing in her yard. She shared some lemons with me this year. They were HUUUUUGE and so juicy! I can get 1/2 cup of juice from each of them. No longer am I satisfied with the puny dried out yellow spheres they call "lemons" in the stores. I want to grow my own, too. Grandma had a huge lemon tree in Anaheim CA (Off Lemon Street!) and we grew up with lemon everything. YUM! "Bill" says my exposure should be fine in our heat and the fact that it is in a pot it will need some protection from our harsh sun. I can always bring it in and use a grow light if we get unusually cold. They say you can successfully grow citrus indoors year 'round with proper lighting and a bright window? So bring them in and keep fertilzing.---- My Dh is from Seattle. You grow amazing things up there that we can't grow in our heat. And you have Pike Place Market for the freshest and best selection of produce I have ever seen.
