   I tried this years ago and got a very attractive lemon tree   
   that lived on my back deck during the warmer months. Never   
   got any fruit, but it sure looked pretty.   
      
   I didn't do anything special to start the seed; just stuck it   
   into a four inch pot with seed starting mix. It was on a whim,   
   so I didn't have any special prep materials around in any case.   
      
   I kept having to transplant it into a bigger pot almost every   
   year. During the winter months, I had to drag it into my   
   house to winter over. The last year I did this, the poor thing   
   got a powdery mildew like substance on the leaves and finally   
   gave up the ghost.   
      
   What are you planning on doing with the lemon plant during the   
   colder months (unless you're in an area that is citrus-friendly)?   
      
   Good luck!   
      
   Nyssa, who really was proud of that tree, but it was a real   
   PITA to drag that huge pot around after a few years
