A bit of indoor gardening

After months and months of snow I was in the mood for something other than staring out the window at dirty snowbanks and half buried lawn furniture so I took a look at the 2 tiny citrus trees in the house and noticed that they weren't looking too good either.
My solution was to put BOTH the lemon and the orange in the same pot so that they could share the sunny window. I have no idea whether this will help or work but I figured that it couldn't hurt to try.

Sometimes all you can do when it comes to gardening is keep moving things around until you find the right spot and your plants begin to thrive.

Indoor citrus trees

This is my 3rd year with this orange tree and though it hasn't been a great success it doesn't look too bad. It lives in my dining room most of the year.

The lemon is a different story. We bought it last summer and it actually had a lemon on it so we had great hopes for it. Apparently putting it in the living room was a mistake. All but 2 of the leaves have dropped off and they are a bit odd looking so I suspect either an insect or disease problem and will be doing some research on the internet to see if I can figure it out.

 I hope my little friend survives long enough for help to get here. The lemon it did have last summer
was lost to the squirrels. It was out in the yard for some good sunshine and bees to make it happy when the squirrel chewed off the branch it was on and then decided it didn't want it. We were sad because it was getting ripe and we had plans to slice it for tea. Somehow we just didn't want it after the animals had it.
