National Lemonade Day

As a gardener I love experitmenting by growing something you wouldn't expect to find in a pot or growing in my zone. When it popped up on my calendar that today was National Lemonade Day, I got tickled because my latest experiment is growing a lemon tree in a pot in zone 7A. I've had my little Meyer's lemon tree since last summer (1st pic below) and this spring it bloomed (2nd pci). I have been babying it over the winter months and it appears that this attention is paying off. I plan to move it from it's warm spot in the family room to the deck in the next couple of weeks. Excited to see if I actually get lemons soon.

What about you? Is there a plant, a vegetable or a fruit that you've experimented with that typically wouldn't do well in your zone? Share your journey with us.
