A Yiayia Eleni guide
You have a lemon tree with few or no flowers, and you are tempted to pour something from the kitchen at its roots. This book gives you a calm order for checking the likely blockers and making the safe corrections first.
One digital bundle. PDF to read or print, plus EPUB for e-readers.
01 · How it helps
You do not need to guess from leaf color or follow a crowded list of remedies. You begin with what the tree and its place can show you.
1When it will not flower
Flowers came and then dropped. Is that the same problem?
✓The three baskets: sort no flowers, flowers that drop and tiny fruit that drops. Only the first means the tree has not bloomed. Chapter 01
My spot seems bright. Does my tree really get sun?
✓The direct-sun map: check morning, midday and late afternoon, and count only times unblocked sunlight reaches the leaves, not just bright light. Chapter 02
2When you water
Could my decorative outer pot be holding water I cannot see?
✓The hidden-drainage check: lift the nursery pot out of the decorative pot, empty the trapped water, and set it back with the holes free. Chapter 03
Should I water on the same days every week?
✓The top-inch rule: wait if only the top inch is dry, water when the top several inches are dry, and hold off if soggy. Chapter 04
3Before you pour anything
Will coffee grounds or olive oil help it bloom?
✓The citrus-label rule: feed only by a citrus-fertilizer label. Olive oil, clove mixtures, coffee grounds and undiluted vinegar have no label rate. Chapter 05
It will not bloom. Should I just give it more fertilizer?
✓Feed, hold or test: poor bloom alone does not justify feeding. After recent repeated feeding, hold, because excess nitrogen can decrease flowering. Chapter 05
4Before you spray or prune
My leaves are curled and yellow. Does that mean pests?
✓The direct-evidence check: curled leaves can signal water stress and yellow leaves overwatering, so find actual pests or damage before treating. Chapter 06
Should I prune it hard to make it bloom?
✓The keep-first rule: the tree needs its healthy leaves for energy. Mark only clear defects or growth below the graft union for qualified help. Chapter 07
02 · What’s inside
Each chapter asks you to observe one part of the tree or its setting. Then it gives you a concrete task to record on your Rescue Sheet before you move on.
03 · The honest part
Not in this book: A promise that your tree will flower or bear fruit on a fixed timetable.
I show you how to identify likely bloom blockers and make the first safe corrections.
Not in this book: A kitchen remedy poured at the roots before light, water, drainage, and feeding are checked.
I show you how to inspect the ordinary causes first, with a proper order.
Not in this book: Instructions for homemade pesticides, agricultural chemicals, or olive oil on leaves or roots.
I show you how to look for direct pest evidence and record what you find.
Not in this book: Advice for severe decline, major frost damage, structural tree work, or laboratory diagnosis.
I show you when the evidence calls for more information or outside help.

04 · Who wrote it
Yiayia Eleni is 74 and lives in the same stone house in a small village in the Mani, in southern Greece, where she has kept house for fifty years.
She grew up where the nearest shop was a two-hour walk away, so the household ran on what grew on the hillside and what sat in the kitchen, and she learned it all by watching her mother.
What she knows is the plain, patient home and garden care that still works in her own house today.
