you know, I was thinking of growing lemons indoors (we still get a bit of frost now and again where I live), but now I'm not sure if it's a good idea, lol.
If you decide to grow them from seed it would take a few years for them to mature and set flowers. Meyer lemon trees can usually be picked up at your local nurseries and are specifically sold as indoor lemon trees. https://www.plantingtree.com/products/meyer-lemon-tree
The links are just to give you the info on plants and is not anbendorsement of the website since I have no experience with purchasing anything from them.
Depending on your plant hardiness zone you might also look into growing fig trees. They produce a TON of fruit when they have full sun and some of them can even tolerate Michigan winters too. The only thing with figs is that they do not ripen off the tree and have to be fully ripe before you can pick them. Figs can be dried, frozen or canned for long term storage. https://www.plantingtree.com/products/chicago-hardy-fig
I'll look into it, thanks. Dunno if I can grow anything or not (like I said, black thumb. I killed freakin' peppermint three or four times..), but I appreciate the suggestions =)
