I went to the local over-priced market today, and happened upon a stack 
of small citrus labeled "Meyers Lemon".  They looked a lot like the 
fruit from my Meyers Lemon - what surprised me was that many of them 
were half green.

I always wait until my lemons are fully yellow to pick them.  This can 
take months, since they generally ripen in the winter, when the plant 
doesn't get much sun or heat.

Did the supplier just pick his under-ripe, to sell to unsuspecting 
customers?  Are they good when half green?  In short, what's up with 
this?

Thanks,
Ginda
