With the last risk of a hard frost behind us for the year, I took the cover and lights off my potted Meyer lemon today. The lemons tree was acquired in late April of 2020. When I bought it there was a single maturing lemon on it (see picture), which I picked last fall. I picked a half dozen or so over the winter and these are the ones that flowered last spring and summer and that have matured over the winter months: 24 lemons weighing 950 g (2 lbs). There are another dozen or so that aren't quite ready to pick yet.
What do you plan to do with them? I also have a modest crop of Eureka lemons but it's not exactly the season for lemonade?
You can always juice the fruit, put the juice in ice cube trays, freeze it, and then have it whenever you need it...
That's an idea but wouldn't the cubes absorb and acquire other 'tastes' if they've been in the freezer for a while?
you put them in a ziplock (or other) bag after they freeze. Works well for at least a couple of years and no "extra" taste. We do this with various citrus and have been very happy with the results. Recommended: label them with the type of citrus and year.
Thanks for the juice freezing tips, Will B. Some of these lemons will undoubtedly see service as G & T accompaniments and/or be useful in cooking. But I'll see if I can squeeze enough out of them (sorry, couldn't resist) to make some lemon juice for freezing.
