I need those lemons.
I noticed when I walked along my driveway a squished lemon was on the concrete and I'd just bought lemons at the supermarket today because I like a dash of lemon in sparkling water. But lemons are $1.20 each!
I looked over his fence and he has a lemon tree hidden by my tree. I climbed up the garden wall as far as I could get but I can't reach them. **bleep** it.
Soooo ... do you think a nice handwritten note 'if you have any spare I'd love a few lemons every week' popped into his letterbox would be ok? We only know each other by saying hello 'neighbour' in passing. I'm way too shy to knock on his door. He's a nice elderly gentleman. A couple of times he's jump started my car last winter but only because he was out the front in his garden and noticed I had a flat battery.
I'm a little wary of getting too friendly with my neighbours, retired Greeks. Last time I got friendly with one he wanted to take me off to Greece for a naughty holiday. Fingers down the throat *arggghhh*. The other retired Greek guy on the other side knocked on my door last year and wanted to come in. He started trying to muscle his way in through the front door. I firmly said no and shut it. Nowadays he behaves and when he see's me he passes me pomegranites over the fence.
But I want lemons! This neighbour is lovely but I'm still wary.
How do I get these lemons? Does "I want your lemons" mean "come in for coffee sometimes *wink*"?
Really super nova? They couldn't spare a lemon and cut the tree so you couldn' reach?
May the gods squirt lemon juice in their eyes.

miniture lemon trees are potable, so you if you do shift you can take it with you
Yes that's a long term solution but at the moment I don't want to buy a lemon tree.
I just want a squeeze of lemon in my glass of water and not have to pay $1.20

well, youre just going to have to rough it then, and ask your neighbour nicely
btw, not all blokes expect anything in return. are you a hottie or something?
“I climbed up the garden wall as far as I could get”
“I was going to offer him figs as a trade off”
“Maybe I could invent a long arm attachment to reach those lemons that are almost on my side of the fence but out of reach”
“May the gods squirt lemon juice in their eyes”
cat_mioux, you really do have a prize winning sense of humour, did you you know that?
You can get lemon trees that grow in pots, just put it on your deck if you have one or anywhere in the sun, bunnings sell them.
If not, go to your local op shop, most have them...
Or get a big stick and knock them off the tree towards your yard
Super Nova. Nothing surprises me any more. I recently went to visit my cousin who has free range chooks. Very well off they are too. I asked if I could take a couple of eggs with me as they had more than they could use and were throwing them out. I was told it was $6 a dozen but as I'm family I could have them for $5. She charges her friends $6. lol Needless to say I went home empty handed and wanted to tell her where to shove her eggs.
And that's the last time I take cake for afternoon tea!!! lol
