Oddity: ‘Over-sized’ lemons harvested

PESHAWAR: You reap what you sow – this might not be true in the case of a man from Peshawar. Haji Muhammad Siraj sowed ordinary lemon seeds only to harvest lemons that weighed a kilogramme or more each, Express News reported on Thursday. Siraj said that he had never seen such lemons in his life and that it was surprising for him to find out that the lemons had grown so big. As the information circulated in the area, people flocked to Siraj’s orchard to see them and were amazed by their size. Siraj grows other plants in his orchard as well.
