Project lemon tree Pt. 1
Cuttings from Cora's lemon tree have been accomplished. I also took a cutting from one of the rose bushes, thanks to Jean for suggesting. I almost started crying when I was over there. Cora had such a beautiful garden, and now the house is like an empty shell. Jean is moving out soon, so nobody will be there to care for the garden. I was tempted to take some ginger too, but those plants were huge and looked like too much work. I did notice that one of the big bright flowering plants seemed to be missing. It stuck out into the driveway, so I don't think I missed it. I can't remember what Cora called it, but I think it was a Hawaiian thing. I hope a good person took that one home. Tomorrow the cuttings go to someone who has more space, time and energy to care for them. One day hopefully I'll have space to have one of the grown up trees. I picked about a dozen lemons too. I would have harvested that whole tree, but I couldn't have carried them all home or used them in a timely manner. Those are the best damn lemons ever. I was never much of a lemon person until I met Cora's lemon tree.
