When you've got lemons.....



My friend just gifted me these two lemons
from her partners tree.
Even though we at the General Store have
access to lots of organic fruit and veg,
receiving fruit from someone's tree is just the best.
Home grown.
Home made.
My friend is going to make Lemon tarts with her glut of lemons.



Once when I was wandering about the streets
with another friend
they said to me;
'What is a neighborhood without a neighborhood lemon tree?
It's the clincher, I know I can move to an area when there is a
neighborhood lemon tree.'



I am sure you have heard of the
feral fruit tree map
If you haven't there's the link
Its a map of all of the fruit trees growing that anyone can access.



And for those of you who dont have access to a local fruit tree,
there is also a great post on Edible weeds
over at Garden Notes For Relocalisation .



This image is from nat's iphone
its small I know but its of a basket of lemons.
They are chemical free and she is selling them
for 3 dollars a kilo
and putting the money towards the vessel the Pelican
and its next project.

It's really true that when you have Lemons-
We can all make Lemonade!
