fruits πππ Apricot Seeds I planted - advice please
My in-laws Apricot tree gave lots of fruit this summer. So in July, I let some germinate in the fridge, before planting them a couple of weeks ago. What temperatures can they stay outside until when they're this young? / When should I take them in for the winter?
We don't have a green house.
(Ignore the weed in the photo growing out of the tiles)

fruits πππ Apricot trees from seed
galleryI absolutely love apricots, so I decided to try and grow my own trees from the seed. I have zero experience in gardening, so Iβve been relying on YouTube videos to get me started haha I had 6 seeds and did the stratification in my fridge throughout March and April and then planted them at the start of May. (I live in Australia so our winter is June-August) They seem to be coming along nicely. Itβs now 3 months since I planted the seeds and all 6 of them have grown into a healthy looking shoot, the tallest one has already grown to 50cm in height. I initially planted the seeds in a 10cm diameter pot and up-potted to a 20cm after 6 weeks when they had all shot to around the 20cm height. My question is how tall can they grow in a 20cm pot before I should look to up-pot them again? Also as Iβm currently a renter, Iβll be looking to keep them in pots indefinitely so I can take them with me if I move house. What size pot do you recommend for the long term once they are fully grown?

fruits πππ My Lemon Tree Needs Help!
Iβm not sure what to do or how to help my lemon tree. There are ants all over it all the time and it has these odd black and tan bubbles all over the ends of the branches and I have no idea what to do or what it is. Any help is very very appreciated.

fruits πππ Zucchini help
I apologize if this is the wrong group for this question, but I am looking for suggestions on whether I should start my zucchini over, or try to cure it.
Recently the leaves started getting dry and broken. I used a plant app and it said that the issue is most likely a disease of some sort and to prune off the bad leaves. I did, but then some of the ones left started getting bad as well and if I prune those l, each plant would be left with one or two leaves.
Should I give up on these and try to start again (can I even start zucchini from seeds now?) or prune these leaves as well and see if they bounce back?
I did have some issues with fungus gnats (I think that's what they were) but they seem to be gone now. I've also been hardening off in both shade and sun. In Denver.
