LEMONS!

I’m sad that the last our lemons were picked and juiced this weekend because it was such a nice view out of our living room window, but I’m looking forward to nurturing our garden in the backyard. I pressed some of the lemon tree leaves this month and made prints of them; you can find them on my latest potholders, dishtowels, and coasters at http://www.teawithiris.com

If you have citrus trees- Take time out to pick and share your citrus with friends and neighbors. You can also donate fruit to those in need through local charities. The city of Palm Desert has a program called Hidden Harvest; drop off citrus at the City’s Visitor Center daily from 9am-5pm (760-398-8183) or at City Hall.
