I always had a liking for Mango pickle because these are very rarely prepared in my house. We had a lemon shrub at our garden and the availability of lemon pickles were almost perennial. The supply/demand ratio made me opt for mango pickle. But coming to taste of Priya's, Ruchi's and other no name brands, I think lemon is better now. It also has lot of medicinal qualities as opposed to the heat 'generating' mangoes. Nevertheless, for those sour mouthed professionals, I will still suggest a lemon... The tingy taste lingers on and on like the Kamal Vs Rajini debate :0

  5 lemons
  
  lots of sea salt
  
  Optional: {any spice(s) you want to add to the salt and in any quantity you wish}
  
  Cut the lemons in eighths lengthwise
  
  Take a clean glass bottle and put a layer of salt mixture at the bottom.
  
  Next put a layer of lemon slivers.
  
  Alternate with salt until you reach the top.
  
  Seal the bottle(jar) and leave it for 90 days. Shake it every alternate day.
  
  Your pickle is ready. Once opened refrigerate.

  To your other 2 queries.
  
  Weather does not matter.
  
  You can use green limes, get the very big ones you can get, and to make them yellow add tumeric to the salt.
  
  After your first success using only salt, you can add spices and or firm vegetables for your next pickle using all or some of those suggested e.g.
  
  tumeric, cloves, cardamoms, cinnamon sticks, dry basil, thyme, oregano, etc etc
  
  Avoid powder forms of the above except for the tumeric
  
  Fresh cilantro, basil, thyme, oregano, etc etc
  
  sticks of carrots, celery, radish, turnips, green & red peppers, green & rd chillies etc etc
