The ‘Lisbon’ is our best lemon by far for this area and fruits and flowers for
its second crop at the same time, which is no mean effort and our most popular orange in
this area is the ‘Washington Navel’. They both need a feed now to set a good
canopy of flower in a few months time for winter fruit set. Use a ‘balanced’
water-soluble citrus fertilizer.

The summer rain has brought with it a huge surge in the summer weed population that we
don’t see regularly. They need controlling or they become established as regulars to
