Lemons A'Plenty

I had no idea that our lemon tree had produced so many fruit this year until I went out to pick them today. With a freeze in the forecast for tonight, I decided to harvest them before they were completely ripe.

Here is a picture of last years crop, about 35 lemons, and 6 (very bland) oranges.



Here is this years crop, 56 lemons total, 0 oranges. The lemons appear to be larger this year, also. After squeezing all of these, we came up with almost 70 ounces of juice, and this is keeping five out for Becky and four for Emily to use for cooking. The largest lemon that I spotted weighed in at 7.7 ounces, pre-juiced ( 5th from the left, next to bottom row).
