Question
We live in the sunny but windy Mission district. Can you recommend a lemon tree and herbs that will work in this micro-climate? Thank you!

Answer
The Meyer lemon does very well in San Francisco. The Eureka lemon will also grow but gives only one crop a year where the Meyer is known to produce almost year-round. Herbs that will do in your neighborhood are rosemary, oregano, marjoram, thyme, and sage. These are woody plants and are not thirsty. You can grow parsley, chervil, and savory but these "soft" herbs will require more water.
