No worries. Its right on time. Mine always blooms about 3 times.
Now, in spring and sometimes late summer

mine bloomed and set some small fruit around oct. and is currently in bloom again. i just let them do their thing.

The primary bloom for Meyers in the Northern Hemisphere is late January to February; a secondary bloom, usually smaller and producing less fruit occurs around Sept to October. That being said, my garden Meyers tend to bloom every time I give them a little too much fertilizer; not a bad thing, for that I usually have lemons year round.

thanks ya'll guess i'll just have to be careful to cover it if it gets really cold (i'm thinking the blooms may be the most fragile part)

My container grown Meyer lemon that I've had for about 3 years is absolutely covered in blossoms right now. I thought I had several last year, but this year it is completely covered. Should I just let them go and see how many set fruit? Should I thin the fruit? I need to be better at cutting it back, because many of the branches are quite thin, if the lemons grow as big this year as they did last, some of the branches won't be able to hold up.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

the tree will naturally drop what it cant support. You can always tie up or support the branches that cant handle the weight.

I wouldn't worry much about cutting it back. After you see what fruit sets, I would thin the fruit to about 3 or 4 per branch; then later maybe to 2-3 when you see how the branches are holding up... they are quite flexible and resistant and will support a lot of weight without breaking. Another thing that will happen is when the branch is bent down with the fruit, new shoots will rise up from the branch. At 3 years, your tree will support quite a lot of fruit; but if you don't thin it, the tree will produce so much fruit that it won't grow. Be sure to give it a little extra food, just as you would give extra nutrition to a pregnant animal. Meanwhile, enjoy the fragrance of one of the sweetest flowers in the citrus industry.

Thanks, folks. The aroma is definitely intoxicating. I have a lime right next to it that I got in the same shipment. It had a few blossoms last year, but no fruit. This year, it is loaded with blossoms, too, but a few weeks behind the ML, and the blossoms are SLLLLOOOOOWWWW to open. The lime tree has better shape than the lemon. Once I harvest next winter, I'll be working on the shape of the lemon. Thanks for the tip on feeding. I've been using Espoma Citrus-Tone and judging by the blossoms, it's working!
