My first concern would be the drainage, and second would be the winter temperature. As long as the winter temp doesn’t get down to freezing for more than a few hours, once or twice in a season, you could grow lemon outdoors. You may need to do something about the drainage of the soil, and also the pH. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lemons/how-to-grow-a-lemon-tree.htm ^[1]
You may want to think about growing lemons in containers. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lemons/growing-lemon-trees-containers.htm ^[2]
I recommend you seek specific advice about your area from the horticultural assistance program available to you. Try calling the botanical garden in the city nearest you for information.
