Watered well today, letting it drain through the bottom a little. Then watered just a little bit more. Temps here have been close to 10 degrees warmer than usual for January.

Watered the lemon tree today. It was unusually windy today, but the tree didn’t seem to suffer too much.

After looking at the soil, I am changing the schedule for watering the lemon tree from every 2-days to every 4-days.

This morning I carefully scratched two tablespoons of 6-3-3 Down To Earth citrus fertilizer into the top of the lemon tree pot. I watered it in with half a tablespoon of Epsom Salt to the gallon. I let the water drain through and out the bottom completely, then watered again. It was about 1/2 of a gallon in total.

I watered the lemon tree with 1/2 strength Jack’s 20-20-20.

Watered. Also, I found a sprout from an acorn, which I removed and planted in its own pot.

Today we bought a Semi-Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree. We’re very excited about it. Alena loves the smell of the citrus flowers.
