Lemon or lime?

I'm not sure which is the correct word to describe this fruit. Nevertheless the plant is producing handful of harvest. Sometimes it ripe and drop down.

The juice of this fruit is very refreshing besides all the health benefits.

Lemon and more lemon

My lemon plant is producing so much fruits at the moment. Most of them i squeeze to prepare lemon juice or "Air limau Nipis" in Malay. It's refreshing drinks and does reduce cholesterol.

It can be used in cooking too!

During hot weather lemon juice is very good beverages! It's believe to reduce body cholesterol level too!

My only lemon plant is producing a lot of flowers and fruits at the moment!

The lemon bush has grown big. The "bunga telang" vine has estrange them. 

Lemon and Lime progress

It's hard for me to define which one is lime and which is lemon!

I have 2 plants at the moment. The small variety use to flower every now and then and provide me some fruits! Caterpillars enjoy the leaves! I never seen any days past without any caterpillars. Anyway I have learn to live and compromise with the caterpillars that as far as it does not eat and spoilt the flowers they can stay there to trim the leaves!!

Another one.......I don't really know the variety since it keep growing big without any flowers or fruit! I believe it's the big variety but I not so sure since it grow in compose area before I shifted to vegetable patch. There are sharp torns which make me extra careful while trimming the plant!

 

What variety of lemon you have planted in your garden?

 

Lemon or lime?

This is another plant i grow from seed. It's not intentionally grown actually..... As usual i use to throw many kitchen waste to the compose area. I think i have thrown some lime or lemon seeds too.

I'm not sure if it's lemon or lime but i transplanted it to the bed together with Indian Borage. There are many other plants too like weeds and self seeded Amaranth @ Bayam. It reminds me that there are a lot of weeding need to be done! 

Anyway, The lime /  lemon seems to grow happily. It has thorns on the branches. Green little grasshoppers love the leaves.  Anyone know whether it's lime or lemon?

  

Lemon - the art on leaves

Lemon juice or 'air limau nipis' is very refreshing drinks during hot weather! I love drinking this juice that i planted the plant. However, beside me, there is another living love this plant's leaves.

 

I don't have to mention the name if you see the leaves. Anyway at least now the lemon have bounce back with some volume! Last time it was so 'botak' without leaves!

Lemon

I would rather called this lemon plant as Caterpillar host plant! This Lemon is always hunted by voracious caterpillars! I just hate picking the caterpillars! They can eat all the leaves in 1 night! Therefore hunting for caterpillars and cutting the stem is normal routine for me.....

The lemon is flowering again! I hope to get more lemon !

I bought this plant from nursery earliar this year. Back then it was small plant with perhaps 6 - 10 leaves.
I use lemon juices in my cooking and also to do drinks - "Air limau nipis" or lemonade -  tasty drinks during hot weather. How about you?
