We have been waiting for almost 3 years now for fruit on our lemon and grapefruit trees that we planted when we first moved into our house (we would have a lime tree too but Zoe ate it a couple of years ago!). This summer we noticed some blossoms on out lemon tree....and a few weeks later, they actually turned into little green balls that were baby lemons! (I just spent 15 minutes looking through all the pictures on my computer and couldn't find the pictures I took when they were baby lemons...darn it...I know I took pictures of them!) Anyway...all summer and fall I was wondering if the tree we bought was mislabeled and we actually had a lime tree bc the fruit was not turning yellow...I was wondering how long this process takes?!? Well....we finally have yellow lemons!!!!
and on my little grapefruit tree...there are 5 grapefruits (that took just as long to ripen). They are so heavy for the little tree that they are actually sitting on the ground, but still attached to the tree! 
I picked the first grapefruit tonight and held my breath while I cut into it....and......
OMG YUM!!! I got the most ripe and juicy grapefruit ever!!! I am so excited!!!! What an accomplishment....and I really didn't even do anything! LOL!!!
