It's possible to grow lemons under grow lights, although the plant will be engulfed by spider mites eventually, so getting some predatory fallacis mites established in compost is crucial. I grew 3 Ponderosa lemons that were spherical, but their time to maturity was long.

In future those yellow mites will mean the difference between starvation and a comfortable time relaxing in the cave. It's because indoor food production, the last option of humanity, will be defeated by spider mites. Luckily prescient hippies will save you with the yellow mites, which eat them.

Am rearranging and Charlie wanted to point out he had a cat fort made of plants in this spot. I assure him even mightier plant forts will happen and kiss his little head, with sound effects.

Had a long blackout in the recent past, and it was miserable so I expanded the battery bank to 6 kWh (iron phosphate, 50 lbs each, about the most I can carry up the stairs). They allow about 4 days of refrigeration or 2 with the air conditioner.

Super cute, have forgotten how many generations from the 1st dwarf mutation that appeared, maybe the 10th?
They've standardized on a tiny size, yet with abundant fruit. This one is forming 24 yet only 10 inches high. Also the smallest pot I've ever used.
