Lemon Festival Begins!

To kick off the lemon festival, the Abbott family opened their doors to anyone who wanted to come and taste their lemons, absolutely free!

There were many things to taste, including plain lemons, lemon tea, lemon meringue pie, lemonade, lemon sorbet, and strawberry lemonade.

Frank Abbott also did a gardening demonstration for free. 

There were two empty plots of land next to each other. Frank fertilized one using compost fertilizer and left the other plain. He planted tomatoes in each. "You can assume that the fertilized plant will grow more quickly and more healthy," he said. "But it really hits you when you literally see the difference. By the end of May, these plants should be ready for harvest, and then you'll see how important it is to take care of your soil."

Afterwards, the town went to the Grimm house to pick through bins at a yard sale! A few sims showed up just to have a peek at "Crazy Nadine" but she stayed in the house the entire time. Nearly everything sold, leaving a few sim's wallets light, but helping Abbey Grimm with spring cleaning.
