Interesting! I wonder if the SaMo one’s done the same — I love that place and need to stop by soon –

Today I picked up one of the dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon plants mentioned in the Re-Nest article above on growing a lemon tree indoors. They’re on sale at OSH for $19.99 (reg. price is $24.99) through Feb. 20 if anyone else wants to give indoor lemons a try!
