This year's bumper crop of lemons is just too great to waste.
I bought a lemon juicer on E-Bay a couple of years ago. It has a lovely handle that cranks out the juice from the lemons.
I decided to get it out and crank out some lemon juice from my trees. So I brought each dish of lemons in and washed them. Then I cut them and cranked them through the machine. It does a great job. I quickly used up all of the ice cube trays I bought at the grocery store and still there are many lemons on the tree. Wow.. you can see how many lemons I picked off of this "dwarf" tree by doing the math above. And still there are at least that many more lemons on the tree.
I think that the real key is to make sure that the air and the light can circulate around the tree. If it gets jammed up with too much foliage, it will not produce as many lemons.. but then again you won't have to find the ice cube trays and the lemon juicer.
When life gives you lemons.. freeze them in zip lock bags.. Check out new additions to the flickr photostream to pick out the set up.
