Backyard Harvest Time - Meyer Lemons

When we bought our house in 2011, we  inherited a beautiful Meyer lemon tree - one of the benefits of living in Southern California.  Meyer lemons are likely a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange.  They are reputed for their sweetness.  But sweetness is a relative term.  Meyer lemons are more less less tart than regular lemons - but they are no less satisfying.  Meyer lemon trees are ever bearing but usually produces two big harvests per year - and its time for one of them.
