    You should sign up and get those magazines. There's a ton of good information as far as when to plant, what the plants prefer as far as soil pH, and they are a far greater deal (moneywise and variety) than what you can get at Home Depot.

    We're still harvesting lemons, limes, and tomatoes from the greenhouse. Soooooo much better than the tasteless crap in the grocery stores.

    Is there a small lemon or lime tree that one can grow?

    We have 3 small lemons, 2 small limes, and a significantly larger lime tree in the greenhouse. The little ones are ~2-3 feet tall, the big lime is around 6 feet tall. They all came from local greenhouses, except one of the lemon trees which my wife started from a seed. With our setup, they bear fruit pretty much year round. Watch what type of lime tree you get, as our big one has some wicked sharp 3 inch thorns.

    They're all potted, the smaller ones in about 5 gallon pots, and the big lime tree in about a 15 gallon one. We move them in during the colder part of the year, and outside from about mid-May to mid-September.

    I also just ordered her some Cavendish dwarf banana trees, so we'll see how that works out.

    Thanks, I'll have to give that a try.
