Garden
After reading cement my front yard in the SWCC thread yesterday I wanted to share our small garden.
These are some photos of my mini meyer lemon tree. This is the first year we have had it.( we bought it in November) It has two almost ripe lemons this year. Hopefully we get a few more as the tree gets bigger. I plan to transplant to a bigger pot before I bring it in this year.    Here are some pictures of the front with the Dogwood Tree and some new Mums that I planted.

Mmmm...lemons. I especially enjoy that you've planted flowers in your tree pit. Most people do not go to that effort, but it really makes a big difference!

Tree
I like planting around the tree. I just put the fall stuff in yesterday. The summer flowers the marigolds, petunias and pansys just kept hanging in they did not want to die.
I saw a lemon tree last year up at the Isabella Steward Gardner museum in Boston. That is what gave me the idea for the lemon tree. If I find a mini olive tree I will be set.

Gardens of Powelton
I really hope you don't mind my hi-jacking this thread, but it would be great if people from different neighborhoods could post their favorite gardens. Its a big city afterall, and its fun to see what some people are doing. I'll share my Powelton faves:
This yard isn't big, but the overall effect is very lush  This house is lucky to have a large corner lot. I believe this particular garden won a recent Urban Garden contest  Again a large street frontage and lots of sunlight. Photo credit: Swinefeld @ www.skyscraperpage.com  Small but effective. Photo credit: Swinefeld @ www.skyscraperpage.com  I particularly like the oversized pots on the stoop here. Photo credit: Swinefeld @ www.skyscraperpage.com  Simple flower selections here make a big impact. Photo credit: Swinefeld @ www.skyscraperpage.com  Very naturalistic. Photo credit: Mike Jones @ www.poweltonvillage.org  An urban sanctuary. Mike Jones @ www.poweltonvillage.org  Another recent contest winner. Photo credit: Mike Jones @ www.poweltonvillage.org  My own garden is not as nice...but I need suggestions! I am only a renter, so I am looking for a) affordable ideas b) plants that will be easy to maintain. And just to avoid confusion, I am not affiliated with the church...merely a neighbor.    Now lets see some other hoods folks!
