Monday

They were in pots and we brought them up to the patio and covered them with blankets, but it was just too cold too long. But I’m tempted to try again. They were Meyer lemons, which I think are dwarf anyway, but way too big to get into the house or garage. Of course, electricity was out for days so there was no way we could use heating to save them. The memory of their flavor is enough to tempt me to try again.
