did i just become a lime parent? how i survived my first citrus haul

I never thought I’d get this excited over a handful of limes, but here we are. After months of watering, talking to my little tree, and nervously checking for bugs, I finally picked my first batch. No banana for scale, but trust me, they’re tiny and perfect. The trick, I learned, is patience. I kept the soil moist but not soggy, and made sure the pot got plenty of sun. I even played music for them sometimes—maybe that’s why they turned out so juicy. There’s something wild about slicing into a lime you grew yourself. Squeezed one over tacos and it tasted like victory. If you’re thinking about growing your own, just go for it. The happiness is real, and the limes are even better. #gardeningjoy #limeharvest #plantparent #Gardening
