I haven't posted much in this wonderful community, #hivegarden, not because I can't, but because we don't have much water, making it difficult to grow plants that would allow us to have fresh food. But now, during the time I've been home (I'm back with my eldest daughter and taking care of her while her husband is at work), I've taken the opportunity to water the only lemon tree we have. When I saw its small fruits, I told myself I had to take care of it while I was there, and after two weeks, they're already like this—not very big, but it's a huge joy for me.
The tree has grown quite a bit, taking up a large portion of our garden space. Our parents always told us how important it was to have a lemon tree at home. So, when I have the time, and especially when we get water, I put the hose on it at night to cool it down, since the sun has been incredibly strong lately, and watering is essential to prevent it from drying out.
Although I won't be there for a while, I'll always be in touch with my youngest daughter and my sister so that they can water it whenever they can and keep it beautiful and full of fruit, allowing us to enjoy fresh lemons.
