Maybe we didn't pay attention when they said, "If you want to see if you are ready for kids get a pet or a plant and take care of it and if after a year or two it is still alive you are ready." So, I think we are passing at being parents of Children but not plants. I guess we just got it backwards.
I have to brag about the plant in my office. Two years ago Mom #2 brought a lemon to work to sour up something in her lunch. I decided to take all the seeds in the lemon and plant them in a pot. Everyone thought I was crazy and after several weeks I was about to believe them and give up. Almost exactly three months later we had about 5 seeds sprout up. I gave four away to others in the office and none were alive after 6 months. I guess they don't have green thumbs either. The one that I kept is about 2 years old and still kick-in it in the sun.
Nice isn't it. I am quite proud of my plant. Not because it has grown so big in two years, but only because it is still alive. Erin - I guess we are NOW ready for kids, but I think we are 3 times too late for that.

A lemon tree. Heh, I might manage that, because it's sour and all. (And it looks like it might be in my blood.) Congrats!
THAT POOR THING NEEDS SOME MIRCLE GROW....AND IT WILL LOOK BIGGER!!!BUT YOU GUYS DO PRETTY GOOD RAISING KIDS SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOU THUMB NOT BEING GREEN. LOVE MOM
That is awesome. I thought my peppers were cool, but this by far is superior. Perhaps I will try something new this time to be equally as cool. Maybe a coconut tree. Or huckleberries.
shauna - Lemon trees have preaty white flower in the spring so we will see.
mom - I am getting a bigger pot this spring to plant him in so he can grow and grow. I will be sure to use miracle grow!
spammon - did you make salsa or maybe some con queso with those peppers. If you grew a coconut tree you could do pina coladas(virgin of course)!
Just to set the record straight....I brought lemons to the office just because you said you wanted to plant a lemon tree. I didn't bring them to "sour something up in my lunch." Yes, that's right, Jason - I brought the lemons just for you. See how nice I can be to you - occasionally!
xo - Mom #2
I want a lemon tree... I'm jealous of yours. :(
Oh well at least you can figure out what works best and how to take care of it, and by the time I get mine you'll be a pro * a-lemon-tree-secret-sharing-pro*!
My lemon tree is still alive and well and living in Lehi. Mom #1
