Potted Meyer Lemon Tree Dropping Fruit?

3 months ago I planted, in a large tub, a Meyer lemon which thrived and has set a lot of fruit. Today I found four tiny fruit, size of a small marble, on the soil. I fed it citrus food last month and have watered only when the soil feels dry about 3 inches down. What have I done wrong? Please help!

Amazingly enough, I happened upon an idea of what to use to feed my Meyer lemon tree in a large pot. I use the cold beet liquid that remains after you cook beets on top of the stove in boiling water. Make sure to water it only with the beet water at room temperature! My lemon tree loves it, and thrives with very dark green leaves, and it produced 8 large lemons this year! I also put it outside in our very hot side of the house for the summer! I live in Olympia, Washington, believe it or not!

I tried to fix my previous post. Do not feed your lemon tree beer- my stupid spell check put beer instead of totally cooled down to room temperature beet root water left over after cooking cooking your beers on top of the stove.
