My lemon tree before the dirt transplant.
Oooh. I don't like ants on my plants. A while back, I noticed an increasing number of ants on, in, and around my lemon plant; therefore, I had to take action. This plant was grown from a single lemon seed that I pushed into the soil; having no idea that a plant would actually grow from it.
Ants were on the leaves.
Ants were on the stem.
After removing from bucket, and before the ants dirt was shaken out.
Can you see the ants?
The anty dirt is back on the earth for remixing with "old soil".
With most of the ants shaken out, the plant is laying on the ground, waiting to be planted.
Freshy planted in "new dirt".
A young plant. Yet so many thorns.
I couldn't resist pinching a leaf just to smell that vibrant lemon fragrance.
...and this is the dirt pit that was left after I dug the dirt for the lemon tree.
