Lemon tree

Mozna si nekteri z vas jeste pamatuji muj lonsky prispevek o citrovniku. Byl nadherny ale od okamziku co jsem ho donesla domu zacal chradnout. Presazovala jsem, mlzila, prenasela ze skleniku na zahradu a ze zahrady zpet do skleniku ale nakonec stejne uhynu. Dopadl tak i druhy stromek,kterym jsem ho promptne nahradila. Po prozkoumani korenu jsem usoudila, ze byly asi prehnojene. Kulickami vyzivy se to v kvetinaci jen hemzilo. Nevzdala jsem se a to hlavne z toho duvodu, ze prvni stromek byl vlastne darek k narozeninam od meho otce. Netrpelive jsem cekala na jaro,  az se stromky znovu objevi v prodeji. Tentokrat se mu dari, ( krizim prsry ) nejprve byl asi mesic doma, kde jsem steteckem opylovala jeho kvety a kdyz se dostatecne oteplilo, putoval do skleniku. Tam zacal rust doslova pred ocima a male citronky se zacaly nalevat. Vcera jsem ho donesla domu, venku bylo v noci pouze pul stupne nad 0 a protoze sklenik neni vytapeny, stromek precka zimu v dome. Jen se bojim aby ten sok ze stehovani prezil!

You may remember my last year post about Meyer lemon tree. Healthy looking when I first got it, but it deteriorated fast after we brought it home. I moved it from the greenhouse to the garden and then back to the greenhouse again,  but it died and so did the one I replaced it with. It was a birthday gift from my father so I was waiting anxiously for spring, when they arrive in stores again. I kept this one at home for about a month before putting it in the greenhouse, I pollinated the flowers with little brush and the plant grew and thrived before our eyes. I just move it back into the house as the temperature dipped to 0  last night and I am crossing y fingers that the tree will survive the move.

 Citrovnik Meyer - Meyer Lemon

 Me prvni pradeno. Procvicuji si koordinaci a techniku na vlne, kterou jsem dostala spolu s kolovratkem. Nejsou to zrovna barvy, ktere bych normalne volila ale jak se rika "darovanemu koni na zuby nekoukej" :) Na fotce je videt jednoducha pomucka na kterou se prize navine a tak vznikne "pradeno".

My first skein. I am practicing my coordination and technique using some gifted  fiber. No exactly my colors if i had a choice, but it'll do for now. Wooden skein winder ( Niddy Noddy )comes handy too.......

 Dnesni rano mne privitalo slunickem. Prize pripravena na praci, tentokrat v trosku veselejsich barvach. V pozadi je videt tkalcovsky stav, ano vidite dobre, tkalcovsky stav. Reknete ne, kdyz  vam ho nekdo nabizi zdarma.... ale jestly to takhle pujde dal, nebudeme se moct ani najist, protoze nas me hobby pomalu vytlacuje z jidelny.

I was greeted by sunshine this morning. Fiber ready to spin in more cheerful colors. In the back you can see   my loom, I know,  loom ? you may say, but I couldn't say no to it for it was free and looking for a new 
home :)  If I'll continue "collecting" more stuff, we'll soon need a new dining room.

 Jak malo staci k (me) radosti :)
How little you ( I ) need to be happy :)

Na zaver jeste kolaz pro potechu oka. Neptejte se, odkud  fotky jsou, vse stazene z netu, ulozene v mem  "inspirace" file.
And last but not least an inspiration collage. Don't ask me where the images came from,they are in my "inspiration" file now :)

Citronovnik - Lemon Tree

 

 Pri nedavne navsteve zahradnictvi mi tata udelal radost timhle citronem. Je to krizenec citronu a mandarinky ci pomerance- to se presne nevi ale plody jsou pry vyborne  Jmenuje se Meyer lemon, ma uz nekolik malych citronku  a opojnou vuni.

My dad bought me this little "Meyer Lemon" tree when we visited our local nursery last week. I did some research on the web and found out that it is a good variety, lemon cross with ether mandarin orange or orange and has very flavorful taste but not as strong as other lemons. It already has some little lemons and the flowers smell is amazing.

 

 V sobotu jsme se zastavily u jednoho z mnoha "garazovych" prodeju. Nevim jestli jsem se o nich uz zminovala ale lide otevrou sve garaze, vyndaji stoly pred dum a na zahradu a prodavaji sve nepotrebne veci. U nas tzv. garage sale. Samo sebou se tam vzdycky najde neco co musite proste mit :))  Ja nasla tuhle krabicku a bavlnky na hackovani.

Garage sale found - little box full of crocheting yarn,  perfect for covering more rocks.

Prvni fotka je kolibrik, ktery nam vletl do kuchyne a ktereho jsem ze zebriku chytila v rohu stresniho okna. Druhy je perfektne zachovaly ususeny chudak, ktery se dostal  do mistnosti, kterou nepouzivame a ven uz cestu nenasel. Poleti s tatou do cech.......

First photo is a hummingbird that got stuck in our skylight. I had to rescue him with a ladder. The second one is dried out one,  that my dad found in one of the rooms that we seldom use, where he got stuck and died. He is going to take him home with him........
