Global warming, or in this case local warming, gives us lemons. I remember when I was little there was at least one outdoor lemon tree in the park around our castle. They had small fruits but they never fully ripened. I thought this to be an oddity because lemons were not common in Germany. These days I see fully ripened lemons in some gardens. Maybe these are different varieties, maybe they are not fully ripened, but – they are yellow and the ones when I was little were small and green.

I didn’t want to insult your daughters skills, I was thinking of soil, position, wind. etc.

That’s very kind, Elke. But she knows she’s not got that gift.

To be honest, neither have I. That’s why I photograph mostly other people’s gardens.

It was one of my most successful crops ever in South Africa but it came well grown in an established garden.
