Lemons

There was a lemon tree in our backyard when we moved in. We don't know what variety it is, only that it produces lots of flavorful lemons.

Sometimes, it grows an extra-large lemon, like the one on the right. The fruit will have thicker peel and pith than a regular lemon, but will have the same bright tart flavor we enjoy.





Most of its lemons are normal size, like the one on the left which looks just like the regular Eureka lemons you can buy at a grocery store.



And others from this tree are more globe-like, like the one in the middle which fell to the ground this morning.

All from the same tree. Nature really does deplore uniformity. Good thing I do too.
