I have a lemon tree that has outgrown his pot 3 times in 4 years. It keeps getting taller and wider…hasn’t made a lemon. I’m beginning to think lemons don’t come from trees.
My entire garden is a disaster. I figure every oddly shaped vegetable I’ve gotten out of it cost me 20 bucks each.
Not here in my neck of the woods in the Tampa Bay Area. Most of the lemon and lime trees are 4-8 feet tall- but they are in residential areas. We had one for years and years and it never got more than 6 feet tall. It would produce several dozen lemons at a time. Had to tear it out to build a tiki hut. We had a banana plant that got quite unruly. It would always have a bunch or 2 ready to be picked. It started as 1 little plant and ended up taking up almost a 15-20 foot diameter area with probably a dozen big plants at a given time. We couldn’t keep up with it and started to get fruit rats so we took it out.
I need to ask how old my neighbor's are. Not sure if the lack of water on the west coast helps with size...granted of its a 50 year old tree, ten feet is a bit high.
Double check, you should have had at least some really small tubers.
Double check, you should always get at least some potatoes tubers. For refrence, I grew a small amount of potatoes in composted hay last year, when we were in a heat wave and a drought in Oregon. I got about five pounds back from two and a half pounds.
Foliage looks pale. Probably needs iron, calcium, magnesium. Container plants need more nutrients than those planted in the ground. Every time you water it you are washing away nutrients that do not get replenished without manual application.

I dug up a potato plant yesterday thinking it was time to reap my rewards and ...nothing.
So congrats for getting your pomegranate.
And I'm going to be really jealous when your lemons kick in.

That's funny. But I have recently begun to believe that cabbage is part of some elaborate conspiracy too so we might be on to something...

You don't even know how hard I had to hold myself back from pulling those ones up too.
That one was by the honeydew ( not intentionally) and she kinda went nuts on everyone around her.

The Internet dreams of the 0.000000001% original content.
And my comment is from a month ago. Are you leaving celery on my doorstep?
E: Also, every picture you have taken on your property or around it in your Aussie "swamps", I have upvoted if I saw it.
