Is there such a thing as a lemonery??
This is a long term project, mostly cos it's going to cost a bit. I had in mind to create a miniature version of the very grand orangeries you get in stately homes. My hubby is handy and I don't mind wielding a trowel, but we will still have the cost of the materials.
I want to grow 2-3 lemons, maybe one orange and one grapefruit.
Does anyone grow lemons for cropping, not just as ornamentals?
Know which are the best varieties for the British weather? - especially here in Lancashire where we won't get as many daylight hours as you Southerners.
My idea is to see if I can start growing the lemons now, while they are small I can keep them in the greenhouse, squeezed in with everything else.
Then by the time they are quite big, we will (hopefully) have a nice new home for them.
But it would be great if anyone is having success with any varieties and can let me know what to go for.
