Can you believe the size of this lemon? This tree is in its third blooming year. The first year, the lemons were few, but still gigantic. The second year, only a few more came to fruition. This year, about 40 grapefruit-looking lemons weighed down the mighty arms of this tree. In case you're wondering, the tree is called a Ponderosa Lemon tree - not a Meyer, as I previously thought. This year's crop contained a lot of seeds. Granny made that Lemon Meringue pie (pictured below) with the lemons from this tree.
Lemons are great:

Squeezed into ice cube trays for later use in drinks, cooking, pies, etc;
As a deodorant mixed with a little alcohol;
As a hair lightener in the sun;
As an antiseptic;
And here are other ways:
