Okay, well, we all are experienced gardeners here and at the same time we're all beginners at some aspect of it or many aspects of it, so some of us thought it would be a friendly place to share our beginner questions right here in MAG.
I'll start.
This little lemon tree is covered in buds and I hope I can get lemons from it!
Here it is right after I up-potted it from its one-gallon container:
Here is some of the enthusiastic budding it's rewarded me with so far:
I've heard that I can pollinate the open blooms (when they open which should be any day now) by hand, with a Q-tip, or a toothpick! I gather this just means touching some pollen on one flower and then lifting that and touching it to the pollen on another flower?
Anyone here done this before? When I get to the open flower stage I'll post more pictures but I'd love to know if there are any tricks to it.
And please use this thread for any and all questions you might feel you're at "beginner level" -- we can have our own little "Q&A"!
