Lemon Tree Plants

[Ric.ror]

I have managed to germinate three lemon tree seedlings from organic lemons.
Initially they seem it thrive - 4 healthy leaves on each one
Would it be worth giving a little feed with - say tomato plant feed or I have some plant food plugs somewhere - could I pop one or two of those in

As ever any advice is very gratefully received

I should add I don't expect to be adding homegrown lemons to my tipples but I would like a couple of citric house plants

Well done on germinating the seedlings, I must have a go..I,d try Baby Bio feed at present Tomato feed will encourage flowers but you want strong growth first.
I have a Lemon Tree ,it's about 4 years since I bought it and provided I don't drink too quickly it supplies me with lemons...about one every couple of months.
It lives in a cool conservatory over winter (popped outside on bright sunny days) and outside from April to first frosts.
Watered with rain water (our tap water is very hard) and fed Citrus food when living outdoors, not quite as glossy leaved as others seen in shops and nurseries but healthy and the scent of the flowers is amazing.
I buy Citrus Food from garden centre or RHS Wisley,I live about an hours drive away ...really any excuse to visit.

Thank you for your answer
To be honest it was as easy was sticking in the soil and watering
I surprised myself as I had been lead to believe its quite hard to germinate lemon
I've even popped three more seeds in today to see
Ill hope for the best
I've just bought a bottle of gin - just in case;-))
