when life gives you lemons...

...or when you go to the store and buy them...you plant a lemon tree! Or something like that, right? Anyway, I have been wanting a lemon tree sooo badly {for about the last 3 days} and just couldn't take it anymore. Instead of buying a lemon tree, which I'm pretty sure I'll still end up doing after I try out this little frugal plan first, I decided to plant some seeds from these beauties I brought home from the store.
In all my five minutes of internet research, I found that if my seeds sprout and will do okay in a container and indoors for the blustery Oregon winter, I still may never get any fruit.
Hmmm, only time will tell. And I guess only a little time will tell if "Little Miss Instant Gratification" {thats me} will be able to wait that long & will just snap and buy the "Lemon Striped Lemonade" Tree from Jackson & Perkins. They were the ones that originally sent me on this lemony {not a real word, I know} quest for lemony {there it is again} goodness. This tree is AMAZING! It has verigated leaves, fragrant blossoms, can be grown in a container, AaaND... are you ready for this??? ...striped lemons that are pink inside!! O-M-G!

Well I'll report back soon to let you know if my little lemon seeds sprout. Fingers Crossed! Or if I am sucessful in hinting to D about my Mother's Day wishlist.

Oh and for any of you that are interested in the Lemon Striped Lemon Tree, because who wouldn't be?

Here it is!

and here are the lemons! Kinda look like limes, I know, but they're just adorable!
