I really enjoyed this book a lot.  I got it because I had been thinking about planting fruit trees (eventually) in my back yard and, in particular, a lemon tree!  My aunt has several in her yard and I believe it must be the Meyer variety mentioned here because the description sounds just like hers.  Anyway, she is always handing out fresh lemons to friends and relatives, making fresh lemonade and scrumptious lemon pies.  I'm in Louisiana and it does well in our climate too.A couple of the things I liked about this book is the sort-of checklist given to help you with this task of planting a fruit tree and also the little side bits of the author's tips about certain items.  For instance, using your local nursery for the best trees and the guarantee they might offer.  I never knew you could get a guarantee on trees.  Then the shower curtain used for the dirt from the tree hole to help make it easier to replace it when necessary.  Those kinds of tips are really great.So, I'm convinced I need at least one lemon tree now and will be getting one soon.  Oh, and I retrieved the free bonus download of different things you can do with lemons which I thought was definitely a winner!Great book.[...]
